    Go to ride now which use to be called town, and country, on country club, and baseline, they have a clearance back room, where you can get some nice helmets very cheaply.

    Take a seamstress tape and wrap it around your head. The front of the tape should be, ehh, an inch or so above your eyebrows. As the tape wraps around, keep it just above your earlobes angling toward the back as it wraps around. You need to know the diameter of your head and get a helmet properly sized. These arent like a pair of socks that you just pull on.

    Remember, a motorcycle helmet is made for a different kind of impact than an auto racing helmet.

    I got mine form Jegs. I have a g-force. It was $275 if I recall.
    Cheap and helmet do not go together.
    Mine is designed for auto racing.

    Not sure that they make a measuring tape big enough to fit my dome
