Interesting how it is ok for police to attach a Scala Rider Comms set to their helmet. I suppose it is the same as why they can use mobile phones while driving.

The interesting thing about this January 2014 article is it says they contacted Police about helmet-cams and all said they were legal.
Back in January 2014.
The MCC advice is: if you are booked for having a helmet-cam, fight it. Get a Solicitor and ask your Solicitor to contact the MCC. We have information that will help.

Sam Cannuli Dear Sirs,
I was issued with Infringement Notice No XXXXXXXXXXXXX on the basis my helmet is not in compliance with NSW Road Rule 270.

NSW Road Rule 270 requires a rider to wear “an approved motor bike helmet” NSW Gazette of 5 November 2010 at Page 5402 carries the definition for “an approved motor bike helmet” for purposes of Road Rule 270.

This definition provides for “approval” through a sticker attesting compliance with a nominated standard.

helmet cam
Infringement notice

My helmet continues to bear the approval sticker as required.

A camera is an accessory. Many accessories are available for helmets. Accessories are distinct from a modification.

Removal of an accessory returns the helmet to original condition, while modification of a helmet does not.

There is no NSW regulation that provides for revocation of approval of a motor bike helmet.

My helmet was “approved” prior to purchase and it is because it was approved for use on NSW roads that I purchased it.

The standard referenced in the definition of Page 5402 of the Gazette of 5 November 2010 is not a regulation and contains no regulatory subject matter that provides for approval or revocation of approval.

The referenced standard is not a NSW in-service regulation. Without doubt, I was and continue to wear an approved helmet. The presence of an accessory camera is irrelevant.

This Infringement Notice is not based on NSW regulations and I request that it be withdrawn.

Yours, etc

Sam Cannuli I have spoken to the authority on helmets and in his words the police are fabricating and issuing fines for helmet cameras and there is no such law in this area. No laws exist re the use of accessories on helmets. Do not pay the fine and use the above letter.

Brett Blackshaw You have to remember the state has been mismanaged to the point of bankruptcy by successive governments. They need to defraud everyone of their hard earned somehow.

Sam Cannuli The traffic cops are all on the nose at present when it comes to bikes….my advice is to record all conversations and take your own photos and videos for evidence. They will learn.

Tony Robson All I have to say on the matter is Michael Schumacher is now completely screwed because of a helmet mount go pro, and besides which a lower angle like a chest mount or fairing mount are much better shots. Food for thought people. i wouldn’t wear one on my skid lid, thats for sure. Pick your fights

Found this pic so there is obviously something out there that will fit – might start the process again with Safari last time seemed all a bit too hard. :unsure:

No Wuckers mate – I’ve seen a radiator speared before – fast way to grind a ride to a halt. I’ll be running the current set up till I get back then will muck around trying to fit it :whistle:

[Lindsay PetersenMember]

Thought about running nothing but was also more concerned about something piercing from the front – which would be my luck :pinch:

I will wait till after the Rideadv nav ride then have a go at trying to fit the tank. :whistle:

Thanks for the feedback – appreciated

[Lindsay PetersenMember]

You wouldn’t happen to have a CDI unit for the 650 would you?? – got a mate lookin’ for one

[Lindsay PetersenMember]

Hopefully not a redhead named Tiffany :whistle:

[Lindsay PetersenMember]

mmmmmm – not sure why i didn’t open :blink: – no probs this end – maybe I’m in the “No Go Zone”

[Lindsay PetersenMember]

I was just cleaning up my Zumo from the nav ride and noticed I had done some “awesome” circle work around Orange CBD – got me farked – the pub was only 500mts from the servo

Hi Strucky

Was great to catch up and hear what you went thru – when the Newsagent opens up in the morning you best be getting yourself a lottery ticket. Overall was a great weekend with great tracks and great company – working on some time to do the next one :woohoo:

Hi Eagle – Mount Irvine would have added some fun to the trip down – make sure your new boss is aware you’re a nutbag Adv rider and may be late to work on some Mondays :whistle:

I Forgot to mention my thumbs and toes have just thawed out – was it worth it – Hell Yeah!! :woohoo:

[Lindsay PetersenMember]

Wow!! – what an awesome weekend – the RideAdv crew put together another cracker ride. I have’t got to many stories to tell as I did the ride mostly solo and some stages with “Hopper.

The highlights for me were – Friday, not having to work, Saturday, (maybe) having a WR450 on it’s side at Capertee servo (it wasn’t me

---

alright :blush: ) – Sunday, getting to tag along on a stage with Gally and Peter Payne – it’s got me beat how someone (Peter) can punt along a WR250R at that pace, Seeing Gally overshoot a corner and then “bloody hell he’s behind me !!! – I better get going”, hitting an” Ice slick on red clay” in Sunny Corner at 1.30pm

Special thanks to TB and the RideAdv team for putting on an awesome weekend, Stephen Gall and Geoff Ballard for sharing their knowledge, Hopper for helping getting us thru Sunny Corner (my GPS had me doing circles) and everyone who attended to make it a “Great” weekend

1350k’s in total, 1/2 of that done on Sunday – got home at 6.30pm on Sunday night (to a worried wife).
