| Good news! Shoei started manufacturing a new batch of Stg44 and also MP43/1 (slight variation).
However work is going slower than usual due to situation in Japan after earthquake and tsunami.
There is also concern that other countries might ban Japanese products for fear of radiation.
If you would like to encourage Tomio and Shoei staff in these hard times, please email them with words of support.

| Tomio of Shoei sent me a copy of the e-mail as posted by smootik above, with a note asking if I'd post the news up on our forum. I'm happy to do so, it's great to know that a manufacturer like Shoei acknowledge our forum as a worldwide group of enthusiasts  - Quote :
