Thanks.
How about tuners like Secret Services, XAT, Racing Zone, etc.
HondaLand is pretty serious about aftermarket garb, they may be worth contacting.
Excellent idea. The purpose of this thread was to generate contact info for places like that. It's usually easier to get somewhere when you "know somebody". So far, you have offered to help with Courtesy, and I did get a PM from one of the local tuner outfits.
But, even if we don't get contacts, tidbits like the above are helpful.
Have you thought about getting car dealers to sponsor a helmet? O.K., it sounds weak, but when I was a kid we had a kart series and every loaner (actually rental) helmet had a car dealer's name on it. I guess maybe the dealer had to buy the helmet for the group...Maybe $100 for your logo on a helmet all year?
No, I never thought of that. Very cool idea! We have 8 loaner helmets and are looking to purchase another two for next season. 10 helmets at $100 each would be a welcome chunk of change. I think we'll try to pursue that angle further.
Maybe some soft-drink maufacturer bent on having their product recognized as "cool", like Red Bull, Sobe, Amp, etc.
...dunno...
I believe soft drink (and beer) distributors have become too bureaucratic to get very far with. I could be wrong there, that's just what I've heard. I've not pushed those buttons myself.
Keep the ideas coming, and if anyone has anything to add, I'm listening.
