Default Local/Sponsor Helmet Source

My ole' faithful helmet is outdated and dinged. I need a new one and was thinking about the Bell M4. Is there a local (DFW) source or is one of the sponsors a vendor?

By the way: What do you think of the choice (Bell M4)?

Does that come with built-in air conditioner or something? Will it talk to me when I am lonely? Will it turn into a hot chick when I need one? Why the F is it priced over eleven freaking hundred dollars...LOL

I got spoiled when I first put on an Arai. It's absolutley the most glorious helmet I've ever put on -- very comfortable and plush and oh-so balanced on your head...overpriced for autox tho, but I plan on go-karting soon too

I guess you can say I have a helmet fetish tho lol.

Admitting it is the first step.

You definitely have a helmet fetish. You should own a helmet store.

Al, check out the HJC AR-10/11. Jessica bought a 10 a while back and really likes it. It's very lightweight, has removable padding and looks good plus it's reasonably priced (280-400).

If you can afford that, then you can afford the hot chick
