Hmm I don't know... I'm not at his level by any means, by a more novice rider might be distracted enough to have a worse consequence then getting 6th in a race.

You can order helmets from overseas... I have numbers. In fact, because it is going to America they take off the tax... you would eat some shipping but if you REALLY want it...

He has ? I've only seen him wear HJC but maybe I just haven't paid that much attention lately to his helmet. :idk:

Yea I'm with RX on this one. First of all, I own a "top of the line" HJC and there is no way I'd want to be +200 mph wearing that piece!

I did miss him wearing the Arai...I guess that's been just during practice and testing and not actually during the races ? I only watch the races.

However after the snafu last weekend he'll probably be making a change.

$500 for an HJC?

They're available full time now... Kinda pricey, but I'd like to see one in person. Maybe HJC got a new quality control specialist?

I love the stars and bars theme, but can do without the 11 and state of Tejas emblem...

They're $400 from Competition Accessories...

I'd have to literally get one of these models for almost free before I'd try another HJC lid over my Shark.
