Confined with … Pascal Couturier, Director of Shoei helmets
What are the main players in the motorcycle world doing during the lockdown linked to the Covid-19 pandemic? Pascal Couturier, Director of Shoei helmets in France, spoke to Journal moto du Net.
MNC: Where are you confined ?
Pascal Couturier : At home, near Fontainebleau (77), with my wife and my children. I am in a pleasant environment so it gets worse. Big thought for those who live in an apartment…

MNC: How are your days going? ?
P. C. : In the morning I answer emails, especially with Japan, but as the business is very "limited" it remains very calm. I come to the company about once a week because we continue to receive containers and deliver to Holland where customers are not closed, all with a small team. Otherwise, I tinker with my motorcycles or I do work in my house.
MNC: What do you miss the most? The least ?
P. C. : The pace linked to my professional activity is sure to be a big change. And the trials with my friends from the motorcycle club as well as the competitions.
MNC: What are you afraid of ?
P. C. : Yes, I am quite afraid for myself and my relatives because the situation seems to me to say the least badly managed … In our activity, what is lost is lost and I am afraid that some of our resellers will not. Do not fall … But despite everything, I remain positive because our customers are enthusiasts, they will want to re-ride as soon as the confinement is over. And the individual nature of motorcycling, leisure or utility, is clearly logical in the face of the virus, especially for urban trips.
MNC: A book, a film, a series, a record to recommend ?
P. C. : "Le Siecle" by Ken Follet, a trilogy on our history from the First World War to the present day. And I just finished "Sapiens", a bit long but interesting about our origins. Then we watch a lot of comic films with the family to relax the atmosphere..
MNC: Your Favorite Motorcycle Video ?
P. C. : I am very sure where I share a lot of trial videos from the 80s / 90s.
MNC: The first thing you will do at the end of the lockdown ?
P. C. : I will ride a trial in the forest with my friends and we will have a good beer on the way home !
