Todd,
The helmets that the SC purchased, of which four are now missing (stolen?),
were purchased by Dave Morin at Road Rider on Monterey Road in San Jose. I
also purchased my latest helmet there. We got a "volume" price on the ten
but, I think they retail for less than $100. BTW, the helmets the SC
purchased, are Snell foundation "M", for Motorcycle, rated. That rating is
acceptable for SOLO II but, if you anticipate doing any race-track stuff you
should check with the sponsoring group to determine their helmet
requirements.
Don
