after that article i read the other day pertainig to Snell ratings and DOT certification, i'd say go for it.

IMO snell is great to have, but vastly over-rated. at least thats the perception this article gave me.

most helmets over 130$ are snell aproved nowadays anywho... my dad just bought my sister a snell 2005 aproved helmet for like 70 bucks.

yeah i found one on there, i think it was one of the Z1R's for around $50 that was both as well...as long as its safety approved and all that, i'll sport it...i know theres the whole, whats your head worth, but if it meets the necessary stuff..well, that works for me...

snell is only going to come in handy in 1 in 1000 accidents anyways. if you're really worried that much about protecting yourself in a crash invest in some rider training or an aspestos lined suit. after watching that r6 catch on fire, you never know!

No, not really, as long as theres something between my head and the pavement, I am feeling pretty secure, i just thought I would clarify the safety ratings for those who would call the "how much is your head worth" card out...

motogrid.com i bought all my stuff when i wrecked the left side of the tl especially for oem stuff. Most of the stuff comes fully painted ready to bolt on, but i have heard that you can get a lot of the plastics just primered ready for paint.

Bike Bandit sucks. Every time I've ordered from them they took almost 3 weeks to get me my shit.
