Trip I hate to burst your bubble but there was one other guy mentioned in that press release that has won titles that not even James or RC ever did. Just pointing it out bud not trying to stir the pot because both are good friends.

Yeah, I see Grants name. I'm sure he is faster than Jason, but lets face facts, good or bad Jason gets alot more attention than Langston. In my opinion Jason is a bigger name in America than Langston is. No disrespect to Grant, he is my son's favorite rider, but he doesn't have the marketability as J-Law does. I did say biggest named rider, and not fastest or rider with the most wins.

if you know what walmart carries then obviously you shop there. If you are implying that everything walmart carries is by default junk then why do you still shop there?... walmart carries plenty of high end products like mobil 1 synthetic oil, sony hi-def tv's, dell computers, canon cameras, microsoft xbox, etc, etc, etc.....Bell doesn't sell the same helmets at walmart as they sell in moto shops, they sell inexpensive quad helmets and pedal bike helmets. big deal. I just don't see the logic.....
Not only is it not the same product, it is not the same company. The stuff at WalMart and whatnot is another company, not BELL POWERSPORTS which makes the Moto 8.

So Bell Helmets is allowing a cheap helmet company to use their name?
I would think they would spend every dime they have not to let that happen.
I was in a Walmart today and they had Bell helmets on the shelf...

So I think the truth from a article in a street rag I read is the Bell is trying to make a corporate comeback.... And the Bell that makes killer helmets for their high end bicycle helmets also helped with the design of the MOTO helmet and the new STREET helmet since they have both of these helmet are heavily ventilated... in addition they are trying to get back under control after selling out to some foreign manufacture a while back. But shit thier new street helmet is over $650... and yes they are made in some asian coutry but they say they are to the standard designed in america where they did all the testing and design for the helmet... the article was a couple months back in one of my street mags.. But Bell is all the same company with different divisions...but its BELL same as walmart they probably license thier name for cheaper stuff...
