[Ducati] Helmets NDC

[Bruce Bellm]

I got it here: http://www.extremesupply.com/index.htm

I don't know if they still have them, but they were closing out solids for
$100. I have a solid and a graphics model and they are both excellent. You
will find that they fit tight on the cheekbones until they break-in. They
never fog but are louder than most, so ear plugs are a must. Since I always
wear them it is no big deal for me. My helmets are a size L so if you think
that fits you, I'd be willing to meet you so you could try one on. I'm a hat
size 7 1/4.
