Shoei to stop importing?
I head a little rumor today that Shoei will stop importing into the US sometime in the future... Anyone else confirm/deny this?

never heard anything about it but seems unlikely. The US market is too big to lose.

Kind of what I thought... Our own site poll shows Shoei being the largest brand at 36%. Guess will see!
