Helmet cost
I think I saw a thread about this before, but I did a search and couldn't find it.
I want to sign up for driving school, but I'm not crazy about buying a helmet for just 1 event. How much does a helmet cost and is there any place you can rent/borrow one?
Thx

Thx | visit your local Hells Angels clubhouse ? Seriously, have any friends with bikes?

Thx | I priced helmets several months ago. IIRC, they start at about $250.
I say just consider the helmet part of the cost of the school. Some events sometimes have a few helmets available for loan. But there is no guarantee that you'll find a loaner that fits well enough to be safe. And, you just don't know what a loaner has been through before. From what I've seen in my research, a motorcycle helmet will not be acceptable.
It's your brain inside that helmet. Don't risk it.

Many DEs won't let you use a motorcycle helmet. When I was researching for helmets, one phrase that was posted stood out in my mind.
$10 helmet for a $10 head.

Thx | Trust me, driving schools are like potato chips - you can't have just one. As for a loaner helmet, ask the organizer of your local school on how many helmets they have and how well using a loaner works out. Almost anyone using a loaner will be in the beginner group, so they'd all be used at the same time.

Thanks guys for the feedback.
That's a good point about the fit - I didn't think about that. I guess that means they come in different sizes, so I'll have to find one that's my size (wooden head  )
So next question - where can I buy a helmet?
