ORIGINAL: Patrick
i have an unfortunately large head...im a big guy, so it doesnt look funny...
they said that the padding in my helmet was too worn out...i used to always leave my helmet in the car, and i guess that the heat didnt treat the padding nicely...i was pretty pissed off about the guy giving me a hard time...this particular track is pretty easy going, so i couldnt believe it when the guy gave me the "you arent passing tech" look from the other side of the car...i sweet talked my way around it for those few days,...but i thought that id rather not press my luck.. my home track doesnt even check my helmet, as ive been racing there for 12 years now...i dont even have to open the hood in tech...
and no, this isnt a real mugshot...

I just ordered this one. I like my motocross helmet, but I thought it was time to get something for those cold winter mornings.
Here is a site, although I got mine through the local bike shop.

RE: Kind of a bike question?
well, i went through the online stores chat feature, and asked them about the lack of a sticker....so they informed me that they contacted HJC, and that helmet is not Snell rated..their site made a mistake. so, i have to send it back...and i told them that i need a helmet by next weekend. they told me that they couldnt give me any more discount, even though they made this mistake. the only thing that they would do is give me free next day shipping. i told them that i wanted a similarly priced helmet that is snell 2000 or better. i tried talking them into giving me another HJC for the same price, but they werent willing to drop 100 bucks off...
i ended up getting an AFX FX-96 in wine red...with an extra visor in dark smoke. unfrotunately they didnt have my size in any of the helmets that i wanted, so i have to wait for the helmet to get to them, then they will next day mail it to me...

That figures.... Worded the web site wrong. I wonder how many people bought that helmet for the snell, etc, and are wearing it right now clueless?
AFX makes decent helmets also. I had an AFX, and liked it. It fit actually quite well. GL patrick, hopefully you will get it in time.
