ACU Licence holders Lend me your ears and i will try help you save some money!!

Well some of you may know this some of you may not.....

If you do i am sorry for bringing it up, but the others, you can save yourself money on your protective equiptment... Helmets, gloves leathers, boots ETC.

The current people i know that do this are Pheonix Distrobution (Main Arai Distributers) and also Feridax (Main Sidi, Spyke, Shoei Distributors)

What you need to do is have a Photo copy of your ACU licence (colour for Phoenix) b&w for Feridax and then send them this via e-mail, Feridax will only give you prices once they have recieved this....

Phoenix will give you prices before you send it (but you cannot order till they have recieved a copy.

Just for an example, an Arai Corsair (there top of range helmet) Normally £500 in the shops will set you back

£280 of your finest, not bad hey.

I currently need a new lid and some more boots so Feridax for Sidi's and Phoenix for helmet..

...although the X-Spirit i tried yesterday was seriously comfey!!!! so watch this space!!

hope this helps...

Nice one... Phoenix even will source an exact replacement lid if hard to come by. I got mine this morning for 255 plus 7gbp postage...

**Rattler** · 23 Jul 08, 01:36 PM

Hmmm - do any dealers who supply Xlite or Suomy offer the same discount?

**Ollie** · 23 Jul 08, 02:42 PM

leave it with me rattler i will find out

**TP#12** · 23 Jul 08, 03:26 PM

Frank Thomas are the Suomy importer. I got my two Bayliss rep helmets through Chiswick Honda and got a hefty discount but this was a one off sort of thing. I effectively got two helmets for the price of one.

It was the same price that Grahame Butcher managed to sort through his son-in-law who works for Frank Thomas I think.

Well having totalled another RX7RR on sunday,this is a timely reminder that there are people out there willing to help the hapless (or Hopeless!!!!) club racer,good on them i say,and people i urge you to support them when buying your kit,

**Earkle** · 23 Jul 08, 06:51 PM

The tall one comes through again!!!

Nice one son!

... but guess wot... rx-7's dont fit me

oh well... lesser models it is then...

**Ollie** · 23 Jul 08, 08:34 PM

Who know what i will get next when funds allow!!

Good to hear from you Nigel, all ok?
