www.thebellstore.com www.bellhelmets.com Bell was a great brand up until the late 70's. I remember having a few bell lids back in the days of riding my dirtbikes and ATV's... I had always wonderd what happened to them. They've been hitting alot of bike shows lately, showing off thier new designs and features. Apparently equal to the top helmets in the market today. February 2005 they will be introducing a new line up of helmets with a great price point, from what the reviews are saying. http://www.thebellstore.com/images/Helmets/M5/M5BuMlt.jpg http://www.thebellstore.com/images/Vemar/VSSAtRd.jpg

Actually, Bell had some decent lids in the 90's too when cool Troy Lee graphics were the thing. I had the Jamie James replica. :)

The Troy Lee designs were very cool.

I remember my first Bell Helmet, I got back in the Late 70's. I wonder where that is now, I think in storage, Im going to have to dig it out, see if it still fits. :lol:

I have a Bell open face with a flip up bubble shield from 1979. And you are right, I don't think they make enough Fabreeze to help it

Bell has never stopped being the main manufacturer for drag racing vehicles. But if they are priced good ill look at em for my next moto helmet

But the helmet it self actually looked to be in fairly decent shape.

there website has somew decent prices, i think id have to check it out in person before i'd buy one though, the automotive drag race helmets are not vented well, so id like to see how well they did there on the moto helmets, Plus a lot of cheap helmets dont fit well with glasses, will never buy a pair agian that doesnt go well with em. i really like my AGV helmet, prob stick with em.
