I paid £400 (that's about $680) for my helmet. If it's not on my head, or in my hand, it's cable locked to the rear crash bar and sitting on the seat.

Thieving little ******* who are too cheap to buy their own £400 helmet.

I like convenience over looks and the Harley one on a downtube sucked to me. Spiders jump off the ground around here and get into your helmet. There is another on on my bike just like post 46..sucks

Buy a Glock (or Kimber or Colt or Wilson Combat, or...), get a free cable lock.

One more vote for a gun lock. $15 or so for one from Wal-mart if you don't have a gun.
