Tour X - Where to buy?

[sanddancer]

Anyone recommend somewhere to get a Tour X (my TA bounty has just come in and is burning a hole in my pocket!!)

Preferably as near to Dundee as poss as I'd like to try for sizing

Don't know the bikes shops in Dundee, except John Clarks, but this may help

I went to Hein Gericke in Glasgow for mine

I bought mine at JC's Dundee a year or so ago

Although Hein Gericke are Arai dealers I don't think they're stocking the TourX this year (they had them last year). I don't see them in the catalogue or online shop. Would definitely give them a ring first to check before looking there.

I believe that BMW have clamped down on Clark's selling anything but BMW helmets. Now that's not to say that a Tour X couldn't still be sourced in Dundee..... However, I'm told by the source that they're out of stock until the end of May / beginning of June.

That takes me back a bit. How much do you get these days?

Who are you with up there? I used to be in a unit (the only one) in Arbroath.

Tried Scotfactors?
They're away from the Stannergate and are up near Michelin now.

Also the shop in South Queensferry (www.forthgear.co.uk). They do good deals

They do, indeed, do good deals but they're not an Arai dealer. They sell Shoei, Shark, KBC, HJC etc. In fact, I just bought a new Hornet from them a couple of weeks ago. That was the white on I was wearing last Sunday....

I just bought a TourX 2 from Biker Bargains for 239.99 including postage and next day delivery.

They only have a limited number tho`

Thanks for all the ideas - I'll follow up next week.

Bounty is pretty healthy nowadays - can't remember exact amount but it's about £1600-ish (and tax free)

I do my TA at Leuchars with the AAC - although not for much longer as it's getting canned early next year (sadly this means I'll have no excuses for not getting on with all the jobs around the house!)
