any bike shop. Gattos has them. You can get a half decent HJC that is snell approved for about 120. Or you can go extreme and pay 500 to 700 for a shoei ---

I’ll spend mid 100’s for a helmet, not 500+ gattos is in tarentum right by the bridge but its a cycle shop, so I guess you can’t buy any of those, which I’m still puzzled about. Especially since bike guys race at beaver run… ---

What do they make the guys on bikes buy then? the guys who run sportbikes at BeaveRun are mostly considered “semi-pro”. they have spent the big bucks for SA Helmets, and have painted them etc etc. not one bike owner i saw had a regular looking helmet. ---

They have otehr stuff that goes on as well. when i got my bike at andrew’s in salem, i didnt get a helmet with my bike which i was sorta mad about being my other friends in this area when they got their bike they got a free lid to match. so i had to go out and get a helmet, and it’s black with black shield, and it’s only DOT approved. so if you saying Gattos sells decent lids that are in my price range i will swing by there and check out their helmets ---

I ran my GSXR on Beaver tons of times. I had a Shoei, my bud runs with Arai. They are fine for Motorcycles. SA is Automobile ratings. Think, keyword think, the difference is the fire rating/proofing of material. SM you usually don’t need fire rated since you are flying through the air on you motorcycle rather than smoltering inside it. ---

why does someone driving a TC need a helmet? They should have provisions for cars that cannot go over 45mph on a 2 mile straight. 😃
