Great thread Ryan! Thanks for the laughs. 13.99 before you need a helmet. Just curious - what are you paying for hair cuts???

Damn, the chick said 14.99. My friends heard it too because they mocked me not finding a helmet for just going 14.99

I tried the lube... just goes everywhere.

$5.00... that colick I have up front is completely natural.

Going today, there's a large cycle place by my home that should fit the bill.

I wonder if they have helmets in sizes from big bear to moose.

Just do what I do. I tell them I have a metal plate in my head.... and if they try to test it with a magnet, I stop them and tell them I'll pee in my pants and forget who I am for a half hour, and that they would be liable.....

x2 make sure the helmet has the snell rating, some just have a DOT and no snell rating, they will check this at GLD DAMHIK. I bought a 3XL at sportland a crotch rocket shop in oak creek for $100 new with the snell rating. I remember when 12.99 and quicker you needed a helmet, now its 14.99? WOW

The girl at the gate said 14.99, I made sure my friend heard it too. I see on their website it is 13.99. So just to be safe I'll get one. I wanna get into the 13's anyhow.

Every track I've seen for the helmet cutoff is 13.99, except Atco which I was told requires them regardless of ET.

You'll only want to go faster, so of course you should get one.

And don't skimp on it, how much is your head worth?

I buy my helmets based on the value of my head, cheap hat = cheap head. Buy a good one and hope you never need it

Remember too that helmets come in 2 different shapes, round and oval. It makes a big difference in how they fit.

I was down at my buddy's bike shop when a lady brought in her 15 year old son to get a dirt bike helmet. Chuck gave him the biggest one he had and it would not fit. We nicknamed the kid 'Punkinhead'.

Wanna run my Goat heads-up sometime? It's a 5.7 too. Should be a good race.

I went today to Chicago Cycle... they had 1 helmet that fit me. A Zook (sp?) XXXXXL... I am NOT kidding. It was DOT rated but not Snell rated. So I gotta keep on looking.

I am going drag racing Sunday at Union Grove. Bring it out, free racing, just the spectator fee of $12

Ryan,

E-Mail Kasey at sales@promaxcarbs.com with your head size in inches. They are direct with Simpson and can find a good helmet to fit ya, at a "Moparts" discount.

I told him to look for you to get in touch with him.

Scott
