Looking for a helmet but want to try some on.

Any places near to me? (Portsmouth/Southampton/Basingstoke)

Thanks.

I went to the motorcycle shop in Salisbury thats on the Industrial estate where all the car show rooms are (Near the railway station)- cant remember the actual name though but there are 2 by the Renault garage.

From my experience, ignore the one on the front by the Renault garage and go around the corner to the other one (Honda I think) as they had a good range and were really helpful, not like the other place who weren't interested in serving me and when they did, the chap didn't have a clue

Good luck

HH.

Rob Wilshire motorbike shop in Lowford. They also have a branch in Fareham but not sure how many helmets they have in there.

Mine was a full-face bike helmet that had the correct stickers for trackdays
