I applaud them for it.

I'd love to applaud them should they ever decide to do something about all the jersey barriers.

I stand corrected.


You don't even want to know...

Oh, and does Blakeney live under a rock? What about BSA and ECE?

DOT & SNELL -What testing can we do beyond that? There’s no guidelines for it.

well since Sullivan's is the largest (maybe even only) US distributor of HJC they should get on the same page with each other.

I own an HJC, I think its a CL14. it was my first helmet. once I switched to Suomy I realized how low quality the HJC is. now my HJC is relegated to car drag strip use for a friend. So i guess you can say I used to own one since I haven't had the thing in my possession in a couple years.
