I'm gonna reply publicly anyway....

I bought a Synchrotec helmet a year and a half ago after comparing it to the
Nolan N-100.  The Nolan was -okay- for me, just felt kind of cheesy compared
to the Shoei.  I didn't make it 220 yds from the dealer though before
returning the Shoei - I couldn't open my mouth with it on, couldn't talk,
couldn't smile, laugh, etc....  just wasn't big enough to get over my head
and then do anything without opening the lid up.  I traded it for an Arai.

Since then I have seen the new HJC modular helmet, not as nice a finish as
the Shoei but it fit perfect, and I could open my mouth and everything.  If
you have problems with the Shoei try out the HJC, it might work for you.
