I need to get a helmet ASAP, new bike at the weekend Smile

First bike (unless you count the 50 I had 12 years ago) so don't really want to spend too much and don't want to have to wait too long to get it.

I've seen a nice AGV for a good price (online) but I need to try it on to check it feels right. Any AGV stockists in (and around) Cov?

Anywhere I should try generally (locally) who might have a good price on a different lid?

Any help appreciated.

MPS in Coventry are OK.
https://www.mps-express.co.uk/

They used to be really good, but the management changed so a lot of the decent people left. Plenty of choice though.

There's bikers world in Coleshill - bit of a trek, but can get some bargains.

They also have an ebay shop, so you can buy one and then go pick it up. https://stores.ebay.co.uk/BikersWorldOnline

But - you really need to try a helmet on before you buy it. The right fit is critical, as if it's at all loose it will not protect you.

Rugby has some good bike shops.

Thanks BFG. Went to MPS at lunch time actually and also to Kestrel Honda. Completely forgot about Rugby though, Nightingales seem to have some good deals.

Cheers
