Mornin, Russ Chamber day here as well. The helmet wasn't a consideration, black (the West coast tour cured me of that) . I've not thought modular.

I wore my half helmet the other day while riding and it was hot as hell as it just seemed to soak up the heat.

@NoRegerts If I can tear you away from crime fighting, wedding photo shoots and the care and feeding of TLT it was suggested I ask you about the Cardo comm system.

Mick, FYI. I love my modular and would vote for the Cardo system, although I don't have any experience with other brands.

On another helmet fit issue, Helmet House FINALLY has the 31mm cheek pads in for the RF-1400 helmets. The helmets come with 35mm pads and they make it fit very snug so I hope these will help that some.

I said all that to say after having served where Koreans were part of NATO combat forces he was without doubt the most talkative Korean I've ever seen. Did I mention he killed the bike twice as he was making his exit? All in all a fascinating encounter.

In his honor, I am eating Korean food today with all the trimmings.
