I leave a 10year old Shoei on the handlebar and had no problems, but has been properly "distressed" and I don't think anyone wants it.

If they want my helmet they can have it. Good luck trying to find it among all the other crap in my garage I don't use!

Policeman- "But why did you shoot him? It was just a helmet."
Me- "I caught him stealing it, I tried to stop him and he swung it at me. I was in fear of my life!"

I live in Iowa (no helmet law) and worked in Nebraska (helmet law). Had my skid lid stolen off my bike while at work. Had a nervous ride home that night!

LMAO!!

[quote=Stiggy;9258030]Never had a problem, but my 3/4 and half helmets aren't anything to lust after either.

But this winter I picked up a Full Face helmet, and I secure that in my office or carry it when I'm shopping because that helmet is something younger crotch rocket riders might want. And I don't tend to trust that group as much.[/quote]

I have seen some beautiful roads in Texas but I haven't found the one in your avatar yet. Guess I need to put in some more miles.

I would be pissed if it was stolen seeing we have a helmet law and I would have to deal with getting another one to get home. I wash mine at least twice a month because of the smell.
