Local place to buy a racing helmet?

[Blackbirdws6]

I found out at etown that my helmet is currently expired to run anything under a 14.00 so it's time to get a new one. I can order online but rather try and buy local. I'm looking for a place with SA2015 rating to cover me for other events. I meant to hit up the etown speed shop but forgot.

Anyone know a place in the New Brunswick, Piscataway, Edison area?

motorcycle helmets so cycle gear on route 27 in edison, or motorycle center on route 18 u just need a SNELL CERT

if ur bored shoot down to Extreme machines on rt 33 in millstone they have a nice selection.

Cycle gear is great. RevZilla is a fun trip to Philly too.

Jafrum for online purchases. I just got new boots/gloves/helmet there.

[Blackbirdws6]

Thanks. I was looking for a SA2015 rated helmet to cover me for a few other types of racing. I will try cycle gear and go from there.

If Cycle Gear doesn't work go to Metuchen Powersports down the road. They usually have gear specials and I'd imagine even more specials for Memorial Day.

They carry helmets. He wants a SA2015 rated helmet... which they carry :bertstare:

[BonzoHansen]

[MDSheds_SS]

Bought mine right at the track etown. Very fair with prices and a few to choice from. Couldn't be happier with it.

Yup but thanks for double checking. I've done enough reading of the ratings to know what I need.

My buddy races dirt track at New Egypt Speedway and got a carbon fiber simpson helmet....

The thing is super light and friggen sweet looking. If you feel like you just want to ball out, go for it. From what he said, he loves the helmet.

[sweetbmxrider]

All teh cool vette owners have carbon fiber helmets!

Stable Energies in Garfield has a great selection also.

But I'm not a cool vette owner.....

Stable Energies in Garfield has a great selection also.

Thanks for the tip. I def need to try these on with the Vette. I learned I have maybe an inch from the top of the helmet to the roof. I banged into it while moving adjusting myself in the seat so I need to be mindful the new helmet won't be any taller.

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

I bought my current helmet at Cross Country Powersports in Metuchen. It's nice to be able to try them on.

[Blackbirdws6]

Cycle Gear has SA2015 helmets but no carbon fiber fancy. Cross Country Powersports doesn't have SA2015 helmets.

[Blackbirdws6]

Decisions were made. Fits great and is very light. I wanted a lower model but the manufacturer didn't have one in stock so they provided a free upgrade to the version that is FIA certified.

Only bad part is now I am going to be extra careful with it. I figure these things are supposed to last 10 years per the cert so the annual $ vs total made sense.

[BonzoHansen]

Nice justification lol

[KirkEvil]

forehead air scoop is perfect for top down 287 runs haha

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Where did you end up getting it?

[Blackbirdws6]

Nice justification lol

I will always find justification in keeping this economy moving.

Even has side scoops too! Sadly I think the top scoop may need to be removed so I can fit under the roof. There are two stick on "spoilers" I can add as well.

Purchased from Susquehanna Motorsports in PA. I used to buy a lot of headlight products from them and I still get my discount. Talk to Will and tell him I sent you if you need any racing gear. They have a pretty healthy selection.

when does it get the ceramic coat treatment

I do have some left.....

[edpontiac91]

VERY IMPRESSIVE LOOKING! I don't think I have enough pocket coin to buy the chin strap. Just jealous!:drool:

[Jersey Mike]

I don't know. I still miss the white with the hot pink lettering. :shrug:

[Blackbirdws6]

Thanks! I hope it never gets to be used as intended.

I still have that one. Don't worry.

What, no A/C?

Next mid-life crisis. The seats are ventilated in the Z so it's partially there.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Needs a BLS spotlight for events like gokarting.

[PolarBear]

Purchased from Susquehanna Motorsports in PA.

I stopped by there last night to get what I need for NJMP at the end of August. He was a super helpful sales person and even stayed late since I couldn't get there during business hours.
