Just make sure it's got a little sticker on the inside that says somethign about "snell" otherwise race city won't let you use it...

If any of you guys are CSCC members you get a 10% discount at blackfoot motorsports. If you are going to use the helmet for solo use, make sure you get a snell 95 or newer helmet.

Curious, when will the CSCC phase out the Snell 95 rating? Most new helmets are Snell 2000. Need to know when to shop for a new helmet.

2005 is when snell 95 helmets will no longer be acceptable. Helmets have a 10 year life span.

I got an HJC helmet (Snell 95 rated) for about $150 from blackfoot motorsports.

100-150 is a good price range for me.

James
06-07-2002, 04:08 PM
100-150 isnt that bad I guess. Is that just for a normal helmet, or what would like a Motorbike helmet(like vith the visor) cost? sorry for all the stupid questions, figure I might as well invest in a Good helmet.:cool:

06-07-2002, 04:13 PM
that would be for a plain one color open face helmet.

One of the celica club members is trying to run a group buy through a store in Red Deer....

http://24.86.193.131/MessageRoom3.0/ChildPostsListByParent.asp?ChildPostID=1376&Page=1

"ok anyone interested in helmets I am setting something up with Turple Bros here in Red Deer but I need to know what you all want.

Open face I presume, the cheapest one starts at like 65 bucks before discount the brand is THH, there are some others including an HJC that range up from 100, to 129, to 139.

The discount will depend on the brand and the qty b/c the mark ups are diff with each supplier it seems. So tell me what you would want.

Also I asked for price breaks for 5, 10, and 15+ I thought maybe we'd extend this to the RSX ppl and perhaps another Alberta forum or two so we could get the best possible deal. I'll need a volunteer in both Edmonton and Calgary to collect money and be willing to pass the helmets on once I pick them up. No shipping I'll bring them to edmonton and calgary on my biz trips."
