I an seeing a trend with hjc... I have one too, not a bad helmet, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it does its job, but its loud and the airflow sucks. I have a scorpion too, I love that thing, but I wish it was a modular.

Ed, you're like me..an Arai faithful.

I don't know why you ever though an HJC would stand up to the standard you have already set.
