bskey Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 nice^^ I need a good excuse to get one of those. How much did that run you? life in spin cycle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Helmetcity.com had great prices, better than ebay Free 2-day shipping Here is my helmet for $148.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I think average price for an M95 snell helmet can be found for as low as $100 locally.. I think online with shipping is around no more than $120.. When I bought my first helmet, it was $150 (about 4 years ago from a Motorcycle shop that had a winter sale). Look for any left over HJC CL-12/15 helmets, they are fairly cheap for a SNELL M95 helmet. EDIT: http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/PROD/cl15solids/cl15black = $117 shipped. http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/cl15solids http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/cl15graphics = other colors/graphics for a few more bucks. It's M2005 SNELL rated, for $117 ~ $131 shipped. This helmet should be good for the next 15 years of even track driving. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, mine is Snell M2005, so I paid a little more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 all the HJCs I posted are all M2005s. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenc544 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 For those thinking about buying helmets online I would strongly suggest you go to a local bike shop to try on the helmet first. Make sure that particular model/size of helmet fits you well before ordering online. Some helmet fits oval shaped head better than round heads. HJC generally fits round heads. Nice looking helmet chenc. How much was it new? I think I paid $150 for it new but KBC sells a new version called VR-1X now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 This is what my CL-SP looks like. I think I would have like the flat black version better but gloss black is pretty cool too. http://www.hjchelmets.com/images/products/product_images/clsp/solid/black.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qp_20 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Gah...this makes me wish that I was going to have a valid liscense by then! I will still have another month of suspension to serve at that time!!! Well maybe I will just roll down and watch...it would be a good chance to meet some of the other Co members.

qp_20 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yup. I can legally drive to work and that is all. That is the result of too many speeding tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 that's why you keep the speeding on the track and drive normal on the street that's how I get my need for speed out... come to the track day, it's fun, worth it.. you'll respect cars in general even more, that's why my car is stock powered.. dont need power. Self control is the key. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qp_20 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I imagine that I will be there. It is not like it is that far away from me. Plus like I said I think that it would be cool to meet some of the people from the site and see thier cars. I am learning to slow down the hard way. That is a lot easier now that I don't go on the interstate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'll be out there driving and such, just not in my own car.. driving from maryland to colorado takes about 36 hours.. I dont have that kind of time to take off work to drive out with my GT.. so I'll be flying in on Friday. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybuckeye Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well, I'm still not planning on buying a helmet. I did just buy a snowboarding helmet and I have goggles. I suppose this "ghetto" set up wouldn't work, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Got my helmet in the mail yesterday and the R-compunds are sitting on the porch at my house right now Finally confirmed the deal on some used Rota Tarmacs so I can send them to the Powdercoater. I think they will be Flat black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
