Apparently it was him.

Definitive · 12-08-2011, 09:13 PM

Wow, that really sucks. How old was he? I dont think I ever met him... Maybe once. Do we know if he was ok?

Definitive · 12-08-2011, 11:03 PM

don't you remember the big complaint about owners in the lockout?? Big market teams get the big names, leaving small market teams uncompetitive. And that's what was happening here, hence blocked via complaints of several owners.

Now maybe if he went to Clippers....awwww shiiiiit!!

BTW Jason, that HJC you referenced earlier that you love, doesnt look like its SNELL SA rated... Only says DOT Approved on their site. I dont think any flip up helmets are SNELL SA.

D

up to you... people pay more attention to how the helmet will protect them in event of a crash vs how will it look when i wear it or can i see a full 180 degrees with my peripheral vision. the size and fit are the MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS of a helmet. if it doesnt fit properly, it won't protect you. Shy will agree with me on this one... that's the purpose of a helmet. most helmets you can see out of of customize the visor to adjust for your own personal vision. again though, up to you.

as for the HJC... i said i liked it... never said it was snell approved.i can tell you for a fact that there are currently no flip face helmets that are snell legal.

that the fitment should be your greatest priority when buying a helmet...

Definitive · 12-09-2011, 03:08 PM

Oh of course. That's why I'm trying to find a shop that has helmets.

i tried to talk to him at CCC but he just went with his little VW buddies.

WesleyC · 12-09-2011, 04:37 PM

Damn, there is a good deal for the Swift spring conversion for my Koni's, but the spring rates are very weak. I want to get them since the deal is good, but I think I'd regret it....

Tony135 · 12-09-2011, 04:40 PM

Go to the BMW bike store in NP and ask for my friend Lyle. He'll hook you up with a helmet!

!

He wrecked right after the sweeping right hand turn where Las Posas meets Pleasant Valley. Musta took it too fast, or touched the curb and lost control. Didn't look like any other cars were involved. It looked pretty serious... ambulance was there loading someone in. Hope he wasn't seriously injured...

i told you to check for motorcycle shops and try on the same brand... try on any HJC helmet... then order the HJC helmet you want in the size that fit you.

I'd definitely check out Werks 2 in Burbank.

918 Chestnut St
Burbank, CA 91506
Neighborhood: Burbank
(818) 845-2530
www.werks2.com

Great shop. Not your average speed shop at all, but much more tailored for the weekend racer/club racer. They have tons of bucket seats, helmets and any other DE parts in their showroom.

what do you guys think about this?

WesleyC · 12-11-2011, 12:37 PM

I think it's a very nice car and worth the price, if it can be 100% proven that there is nothing wrong with it. Given the mods, I'm sure BMW won't cover any engine damage so it's something to take into consideration.
