After all the poncing about to get the Cardo SHO-1 fitted and working the whole project has landed with a bump or a splash!
THUD! SPLASH!
Why?
I decided to test the setup was working. Connected my phone to the TomTom. Switched on the SHO-1. I could hear the voice quite loudly saying it was connected.
The TomTom showed that the headset was connected. YAY!
I picked up the helmet off the bed and underneath was a load of dirt. Not a little but loads of it. Checking inside I can see that the headlining foam has deteriorated and has basically fallen to dust.
I need to see if I can get a replacement but this helmet doesn't seem to have removable lining like more modern helmets have. I'll google and see.
It does mean that with less than a week to got to my trip to Aragon I'll have to wear my LS2 helmet instead.
Whilst I am googling I'll have to see what other Shoei helmets will accept the SHO-1! I guess that they might also be out of date and no better!
If I can't get a new lining then the helmet will go to the tip and I'll watch it crushed!
