Default Helmets in Orange County

Well on last minute buisness I find myself in Newport Beach with a couple of days to burn.

ditto.

prices are fair, but they tend to only carry good stuff anyway.
kind of a bitch to find - good luck.

Well I made my way over to Sube today. I have seen thier ads in SCCA "Sports Car" so I was looking forward to checking it out in person. To be honest I was a little disappointed. In full face they had a Bell Sport 3 in medium and large. Nothing in OMP, Shoei, and only the open face in Bieffe. They claimed the Bieffe was on back order.

I like the Bell, but I guess my search continues.

Later

If you have time and feel like taking a hop to San Diego, check out http://www.daveturner.com

That's who I bought my Bieffe from. I didn't actually drive there, so I don't know what their show room looks like. I was going to if the helmet I originally ordered by phone didn't fit right. I had to wait because the company Bieffe was on vacation in August, but great service nevertheless.
