nice, though you need to stick your knee out a bit :)

Word. I realized I need to hang off and keep my body down and in more as a whole. I really want to focus on that on my next trackday :) That pic was during my first trackday..

I thought they made you tape over your headlights when you're at the track? Or is that not a universal rule?

I'll probably pick up a new helmet this summer. It probably won't be an Arai, more likely a Shoei or a Scorpion. I like the new EXO-1000 from Scorpion, but I'm going to have to try one on first.

Only if they're glass.....most sportbikes (and maybe most motos in general, i dont know) haven't had glass headlights for many years.

With most, you merely need to remove the fuses so they aren't on.

I paid $350 for my Shoei RF1000. Money well spent IMO. Hopefully I'll never have to put it to the test.

Thats a great deal on that helmet .. I've seen that exact one (or VERY close) on the shelf in a local store for $450!

Arai's fit my head really well so they are all I buy ... its true that most helmets will keep you safe these days so I think comfort is one of the most important factors in making a buying decision because a comfortable helmet is far more likely to always be where it belongs on riding day... on your head!
