ROTFL  Small addition -- the helmet will be a racer replica AND they think that
after 50 miles of riding (most of which is smoking cages off the line at red
lights) they think that they are ready for the real thing. . .   No worries,
they provide us with cheap parts (except plastic and fork which they destroy in
their first crash).

Go easy on squidly's..  They aren't really squids (in the typical definition). 
They poke more fun at posing and squids than anyone I know.  Plus Moike is a
