RE: Helmet
its a sad world when we have to ask these questions the real question is why did brave men fight so we could be free only to feel unsafe at home in my day i would rather get ran over by an 18 wheeler than get cought taking a bikers lid ... my advice do what ever lets you enjoy your malt and then ride her like she is stolen all the way home

RE: Helmet
back in my ricer days I had a real nice helmet stolen that was put on the helmet lock ( it was torn off the strap so was then useless to the thief ) with the harley I just put my crappy helmet beside the bike ...it aint worth much and i don't worry. On the other hand my missus has a very expensive full face which depending on situation will bring with us ... i like the idea of a small bike lock mentioned above.

RE: Helmet
I've been thinking of this very recently. Me and a bud are going to the all Harley Drags in St. Louis on Sunday and I've already made mental plans to take a combo lock to run through the D ring and to the rear brake pedal. I hate to do this "chore" but since I've already had a helmet taken at a local pub long ago, ever since I don't trust 'em. I hate that too. Now, I'm dreading to have to carry my leather with me on a 74 degree day. I've got leather bags- small HD ones, and the coat will fit in one, but dang, one just never knows. Many a guy wears an XL-T you know. I bet my bud says screw it and stuffs his leathers and walks. Bock, bock, bock.

RE: Helmet
I'm a little surprised no one suggested this HD helmet lock

I've ridden for about 30 years now and never locked up a helmet. Never had one stolen either.
My gf bought a new deluxe recently and brought home the lock above for her bike. It goes on real easy and you can even hook a coat on there if you want to. Its like a 5 minute install and costs 20 bucks. No worries.
Its funny, we both ride with "illegal" beanies that only cost 20 bucks each but we are up here in ontario canada and cant buy a replacement here without heading down to daytona or ordering one over the net. So we worry more about having our cheapy helmets stolen than our legal ones.
Anyways, cheers and happy trails.

RE: Helmet
I am also glad I read this thread...I don't lock mine up...but that's my choice....however I had a "I could have had a V8 moment" when I read about hanging my 3/4 coverage on rear brake pedal instead of sissy bar or mirror or highside grip. More secure and less inviting.
Now..about those fingerless gloves... John
