	I would like to recommend a good helmet at a cheap price.  The
Arai Astro-Vent helmet is a full face helmet with built in ventilation.
This helmet is a discontinued model, it has been replaced by the Super
Vent, but some are still available at a super-cheap $87.95 from California
Accessories Warehouse.  This helmet received an A+ rating for comfort and
safety from a survey by "Motorcyclist" of 53 full-face helmets (made in
1984).  It listed at $159, but scored better than helmets selling for much
more (even Bell)!  They only have black or white helmets left now, but if
you're more concerned with comfort & protection than looks, its the cheapest
and best helmet still available.  This helmet passes the DOT & the new Snell
'85 safety standards, too.  These are the most comfortables helmets I've 
found & they're great for keeping down wind noise, too.
	I would recommend the Astro-Vent to anyone, they're a great bargain
while they last.  Just make sure you measure the circumference of your head
to assure the proper fit if you buy any helmet through the mail.
	Good luck & happy riding!                            Bill
