Just wondering if anyone else that has a HJC helmet has problems with rain dripping in the top of the visor? I have a Matt black HJC IS-16, brought it under duress from Bridge when I wanted a new one. It fits well but when I ride in the wet it's not up to scratch, i've had it less than a year so wondering if it's a design fault? (It will never live up to my Shark S600, had that for years!)

I used to have a HJC CS12, and i had that problem aswell. I also found that at speed the visor vibrates! :!:

Anyone who knows me well will realise I am not given to impulse purchase ....... :lol: :lol: ...... but I was in Gearge Whites today to exchange something else I'd bought and I saw one of these at a very sensible price.....

I've had my Shoei XR900 for 8 or 9 years now, so I think I deserve a new helmet ..... :oops: just gotta get a tinted insert for it now ..... and wear it enough for the cheek pads to "relax" a little to get rid of the hamster cheeks :shock: :lol: :lol:
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....
