I am trying to buy a racing helmet, but I can't find a local retailer. Hard for me to buy one online...

Maybe if you have a local motorcycle shop you can ask them for a recommendation??

I think you're stuck with buying one online, unless you have a specialty race shop in the area unfortunately. I know you have a hard time, maybe companies can work for you??

Yeah, I tried calling the 'HJC Authorized' retailers. They were all motorcycle shops and none could find the one I was looking for.

On a side note the tile for my counter tops is here and I just picked it up.

Kitchen counter is a deep brown with quartz and peach viens. It is marble.





The bathroom is called Amazon and is also marble.


Todd, that marble tile looks great! Going to look spectacular when it's done. Good choices!

Which one are you looking for? Kinda curious. Is purchasing online not an option at all for you? Is there severe restrictions on what you can get? I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

I'm mostly worried about fit/feel. Can't wear it while shopping online. I am going to try autocross racing and the comfort is very important to me.

HJC Motorsports AR10 II SA2010 Auto Racing Helmet
It seems like a reasonably priced helmet and it's SA2010 certified so I should be good with drag racing and autocross.

Greg, that's a cool looking helmet. I like it!

Todd, I think JJ might be drooling all over his keyboard after seeing all that popcorn. LOL.
