Well this is a first, I have been riding bikes since 1969, some smart A$$ F**KER ripped off my helmet while I was grabbing a bite to eat 2 hrs ago, had a buddy drop off an extra what more can I say,,could have been worse I guess.

yeah it was a WalMart parking lot shared with AppleBees

I very rarely leave my helmet with the bike when it's parked up, and on the odd occassions I do I've got a little locking helmet cable I use.

Could be worse - I know someone who came back to his bike and found his lid had been urinated in. Not nice!

Great Idea and if they recognize that's what it is maybe they will think the Gun is Unlocked and get the hell away

Thanks for the pistol lock idea! I just dropped $300 on a new O'Neal bluetooth helmet. I have always worn cheap ones before and never worried about it until now.

Lucky you just did'nt come back to the helmet and no bike The worlds filled with dipsh*ts! If I dont go further than eye sight of the bike I leave my helmet hanging on the foot rest,further than that it goes with me..

Got two I use ,full face and Jet,the latter more difficult to lock but use the D ring on the strap to lock it to the rotor with a padlock,kills two birds with one stone..longer parking I use a chain and with the full face I thread the chain through the wheel and the visor opening..
