where to buy a helmet

Any good motorcycle shop will have a good helmet. I do allot of business with champion honda,yamaha,suzuki in Mesa.
Just make sure you get a Snell approved helmet. It will usually have a stamp on the back of the helmet.

I have a brand new Med. Shoei red and black. I just got it a month ago and wore it twice. It was purchased from cycleworld. I think its a RF1000. Got it for $380. If your interested let me know.

Check and see if the organization will accept a motorcycle helmet. Some organizations make you wear a helmet with a Snell rating. If so, a motorcycle helmet will not work. In that case you will have to go to a racing shop or order online. I bought my Snell rated helmet at Arizona Race Mart.
As I understand the difference between motorcycle helmets and Snell rated helmets - motorcycle helmets are made for one large impact. Snell rated helmets are made for racing where if there is a wreck, your head can take several big impacts (as in a rollover). Snell rated helmets are more expensive than motorcycle helmets. I bought mine several years ago, and it is a plain white Bell full-face helmet and it cost about $300. You can buy them online for somewhat cheaper, but not markedly so and I figured it was worth the extra money to get it fit right the first time.
