You should be able to find a 250 in the $2500 range, and then toss $500 at a good helmet. Don't forget a jacket, pants (jeans don't count), gloves and boots (not steel toe).
I'm not saying you need to look like a Ninja Turtle, but good protection goes a very long way....

I agree with civicdrivr on this in terms of the price and the helmet. Unless it's new, in the box, I wouldn't trust it. You don't know where its been or what its done. The external part of a helmet is not the most important part, and the fit is more important than anything else. Not sure I'd agree that you have to spend $500 on one, but don't go cheap.
Bell used to have a slogon "If you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet". Sound advice.
I also agree you don't need to look like a TMNJ but I wouldn't mind looking like Batman!
