Helmet Lock Location R3R

[Mittzy]

I use a retractable ski cable lock... I feed it through the visor section of my helmet AND one of the sleaves of my jacket then through handle bars etc

Interesting lock.
If the one I ordered doesn't work well, I shall revisit this one.

I rarely leave my bike outside unattended....just too many losers around.

Wouldn't the helmet be useless after that? Couldn't wear, sell, or trade for crack with a helmet that has a slashed strap.

It would be lower value but probably still possible to sell it. Or else some idiot just doesn't realize it is a bad idea. It definitely happens though, heck some young punk might do it just for "fun", only takes a second to slice a strap and walk away.

Yeah I wouldn't trust a lock that uses the helmet strap at all, like I said the miscreants will slice the strap.

Going back over the past 30 years, twice I have had the helmet strap cut in an attempt to thieve the helmet. On both these occasions the helmet was locked to the bike with a cable through the "viewport" of the full face helmet. Go figure. Doh!

Since I have been using a lock that attaches to the buckle on the helmet strap, there has been no visible attempts to steal the helmet.

I guess this falls in to the category of Lies, ****ed Lies and Statistics. Or for the surfers out there ... Sharks only attack surfers who pee in their wetsuits.

Yeah, nobody said thieves were smart. If they were smart, they wouldn't be swiping stuff off the street, they'd be on Wall Street with the rest of the smart criminals.

Dear Douche Cannon,
Yet ANOTHER shot at the US!
REALLY?!?!?

What, Wall Street now equals the US?

Anyway, if you don't like shots at the US, stop letting your nation **** the entire world up, ok?

Dear Douche Cannon,
Yes! After all the street IS in New York!!! DUH!
I vote - it's the best I can do.
I don't like most of what currently is going on.
Perhaps if we continue to de-power flaming pinko liberals like you things shall improve!
It's certainly is not my fault that you choose to live in an insignificant little piss-ant socialist country.
I also notice you have changed country from ? to R.
WTF?

 

[Rick McC.]

I have a lock, but haven't bothered to lock anything up in over a year.

When I get back to the bike; everything's right where I left it.

Thank God I don't live in some little piss-ant commie country like the Douche Cannon!
