A recent motorcycle mag examined about fifty models of helmets, with a wide range of judgments resultant. I don't rem- ember anything except the top three: 1 ARAI - Their top-of-the-line super light model that comes in a Wes Cooley Replica paint job. It's wonderfully light, Snell approved and very expensive. ~250$ 2 ARAI - Their other less expensive full face helmet. It seemed to be just as comfortable, quiet and well made as their best, only not as feather light. At ~150$ "a genuine bargain" 3 SHOEI - model ER-7 This is not SHOEI's top-of-the-line but was liked better than the others. I don't remember the cost. It should be about 140$. My attitude is: Figure out how much your head is worth and spend no more than that. Joe "soon to be the first on his block with an FJ1100" Weinstein Zehntel P.O. box 8016 Walnut Creek Ca. 94596
