Lapping Helmet question
Hey all,
looks like my motorcycle helmet (sa 2000) wont do the job or qualify for track this year. I need a new one (at least sa 2005). And yeah, looking for good quality, best price.
Does anybody have any recommendations on brands and styles....
A seller wanted to sell me one at a store today.... HJC Si-12 2005 for 500$
I know that now they have 2010, but 2005 is still accepted on track, and I think they sell for a cheaper price. For example, the same style (HJC SI-12 2010) was selling for 700$
This was not in my spending plans for this year, so I'm looking on the internet for other brands and prices.
My first motorcycle helmet was a HJC, kept it for 2 months, and then went with a Shoei. It was just way too cheap. At 70miles per hour, it was like a tornado (wind noise) in my head. The Shoei did a big difference.
I understand that lapping in a car is not the same (the wind factor, I got a full windshield protecting me), but is HJC a good brand for car lapping?
Anyway, anybody... any recommendations... again good quality best price, and maybe free shipping to canada : ) maybe a Bell?
oh, forgot, I'm looking for a full face, and it will be use for car cabin only

Eric,
Ask Mic at groupEurosport, they sell Bell Helmets at very very good prices. No need to buy in the USA anymore! I ordered one for myself. I currently have a HJC AR-10 (SA2005). Not fond of it. That's why I'm changing it. I tried Arai, Bell, HJC. Going back to Bell.

I got a 2010 Bell M4 from Stable Energies in NJ a few weeks ago. Went in thinking I'd pony up for more $. This helmet fit me great, I can handle the few extra ounces it weighs over one priced way above it.
With the money I saved I decided to have it wired with speakers and mic.
I am a happy camper.

+2 for Stable Energies -- bought an HJC AIR10-II SA2010 helmet for ~$312 there. It isn't the fancy carbon fiber helmet, but the CF helmets are only a pound or so lighter than the fiberglass sheel brain buckets.
The HJC helmets also have a nice feature -- the lining is removable and can be easily cleaned/replaced. Nothing's worse than a smelly helmet!
-Z-man.
FYI: the difference between SA2010 and SAH2010 is that the SAH2010 helmets are Hans approved.
