Bay Area location that sells helmets? (for track days and autoXs)

Anyone know of a store in the Bay Area that sells helmets, both full faced and open(for track days and autoXs)? I would like to try a couple on, to make sure I get a great fit. The closer to San Francisco the better.

Thanks,
Evan

I'm also looking for a place that carries helmets near San Jose area.

I have no idea where to start looking or what kind of prices to expect.

They normally have some awesome deals, other than Bell, I think they also carry Pryotect (sp). The shop is a little tricky to find, but it is around the area across from Highland Hospital in Oakland.

I would stay away from GGC, they're the Steven's Creek of motorcycle dealerships. Just check out Cycle Gear, you'll at least get a lot to choose from.
