'Flip' lids

I have been told that it is against the law to ride with the chin section raised (i.e. as though it was a helmet peak).

Is this correct or is it bollox ???

 

its illegal to ride with this up yes

 

It is bollox ... it has to be in some way otherwise against law...either right ontop head or back ..... correct me if i am wrong people but the guy was explaining this in CBT was too busy tryin to sleep :w00t:

 

i got told that you can ride with it all the way up. but the companys dont test them up (or they do and realised they dont do f**k all while up ) so recomend to ride with thm down. think thats rite?

 

On my CBT i was informed it had to be down.

 

Well you wouldn't wanna come off, land on ya chin or front not to have any protection. That would kinda hurt methinks

 

You can have it up ..... but its not recommended to do so cos you will exacly land on your chin... its just bascily wearing a open face helmet....

 

no , it has to be down im sure of it the man in the cbt was going on about them

I think if its there then it has to be down but the open face helmets dont have no chin support . me thinks

 

you can have it up !!.

if you cudent would they sell them shit helmets with no chin bit on at all ?

and always see instrcutors with the flip front bit up.

 

roofy ftw unk:

yh defo x2 cz i got 2 neww shapes lol but u got white

 

AGV longway ftw =D

yeah i was told i could have it up?

 

I see this swaying off topic.

To the point they arent illegal as people wear open faced helmets all the time. Its just a matter of personal prefference. Aslong as its tested to meet the standards and marked (sticker usually) its a legal helmet.

 

fuck me do my eyes deceive me, shoxy finally joined :msn1:
imp:

 

I think my instructor said something about them not being designed to withstand crashes with it flipped up. She said something along the lines of bits breaking off and making a mess of your eyes and face.

Personally I wouldnt ride with it up. If thats what you want then buy a proper opened face helmet. Ride with it up and see if the old bill say anything, if they dont then you win.

 

roof boxer helmets are the way forward boys!!! iv got 2!! black and a red 1!! was told that the roof helmets are the only 1's legal to have chin bit up!! don't know where i herd this might be aload of bollex but just sayin what iv been told!! i sometimes ride with it up and have never been stopped!!!
