Helmets Ok where is the best place to get one today in my area? Would a motorcycle shop have the helmet I'm looking for? Are they the same helmets or drasticaly different. Getting ready hit the road in search and I know theres a few shops in Beaverton.
And what about color ? Is the black helmet considered

A motorcycle shop is the a good place to get one. If you only plan on using it for drag racing and not motorcycline, I would suggest a 3/4 (open face) helmet. Make sure it is a street bike and not a dirt bike helmet. Not all dirt bike helmets have the snell rating sticker in them. You can usually pick up a plan black 3/4 helmet for around $60- $80.

So a snell 05 approved motorcycle helmet is ok then? Lot of people use them? I dont want to stick out like a sore thumb, my driving will be bad enough without looking like an *** too I was looking at the Bell pyrotec online for $109 but I wouldnt have it for tomorrow. Whats up with the weather? Is it supposed to rain now?
