Beware of the opportunists

[Squiggles]

I've gotten away with it for about 5 years now, leaving my gloves in the helmet, but not anymore!
Probably an opportunist with cold hands, although they were better disguised than usual so perhaps another person snooping around the carpark... So keep your eyes out, They're fairly distinctive and im the only one i've seen in Aucks with them <img src=http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/STREET%20GLOVES%20BLUE.jpg></img> Might give us some leads on the thefts from last year if its not an opportunist!

An excuse to go shopping :D

[Magua]

That's balls. I better not leave mine wrapped in my jacket anymore.

[shingo]

I left my gloves on the bonnet of a car two separate times for an hour or more when i've parked down in cp36. Was bloody glad to find them there when i went back to my bike.

[Quasievil]

What size, If I have some left I will flick you up a pair

[Real_Wolf]

I stick mine in my tank, along with all the other stuff I have to store...

:D

[Slyer]

See that's what you get for buying blue gloves, too easy to spot.
The theif probably also noticed your lack of matching gear, shouldn't you be wearing adventure gloves? ;)

[sunhuntin]

i often leave my gloves in the helmet as well. i love the fact that they have little tags so they can slip over the helmet lock as well. still not much of a deterrant, but better than nothing.

sucks that yours got nicked... probably only a kid looking for shits and giggles. wouldnt be surprised if they were in a nearby trash can.

[steve_t]

That's shit eh?! F'n pricks stealing people shit. Hope someone catches them and smacks them in the head:spanking:

[Ragingrob]

Man that's crap. Lol always thought doing that was a bit dodgy though! You have a locker for a reason :bash:

Yeah well, usually take my jacket to the first lecture of the day. Tend to leave em behind in the theatre. Not bad to get away with it for so long.
Might be someone checking out my chain as it runs through the helmet...


shouldn't you be wearing adventure gloves? ;)

Yep, and a peaked helmet. :cool:

[NDORFN]

Thieving cunts. Tough luck man.

[Cheshire Cat]

You people leave your helmets and gloves in carparks??!! :gob::eek5:

[NDORFN]

Never! But still... what's the world coming to?

[Ragingrob]

You people leave your helmets and gloves in carparks??!! :gob::eek5:

Well we lock our helmets to our bikes :yes:

I definitely don't leave my gloves though haha. But yeah as Stephen's said, he's done it for a long time, and someone would've actually have to have been fully snooping round his bike to discover them.

[Rayray401]

do you park in OGG?..i always thought OGG was relatively safe..

[Ragingrob]

Na this is under science.

I think I would rather take my Helmet with me and lock my bike to something:yes: Espcially in dorkland.

He got away with it for so long cause no one would want to steal those ratty old ones he used to have.

[BiK3RChiK]

That blows! The times I've left my helmet locked to my bike, I've put my gloves in the boot under the pillion seat. I'd never just leave them in my helmet either. Too many opportunists, as you've found out!

[Ragingrob]

I think I would rather take my Helmet with me and lock my bike to something:yes: Espcially in dorkland.

So you're bike's locked to something and you'd be worried about your helmet that's locked to your bike getting nicked? :blink:

[Ragingrob]

Lol!!! :shutup:

[Cheshire Cat]

I said I would rather take my helmet with me. And I do.

Lol why? Such a hassle carrying a helmet around!

Serves you right for living in Epsom. It's the epicenter of crime.. just look at today's story.

I think it's smartness! Why carry round something if you don't have to? :scooter:

[Cheshire Cat]

Good point. But obviously there are theiving little shits snooping around so better to be safe then sorry eh?:yes:

[PirateJafa]

When your helmet is locked to your bike, the only way to steal it is either by stealing the whole bike, or by cutting the strap. Which renders the helmet useless.

Your argument is flawed.

Some people steal bikes too. Yeah?:blink:

Can't your boyfriend stick up for himself?

[PirateJafa]

He needs the help: he's too short to see over his keyboard.

Anyway, you continue to carry your helmet around. Affects me in no way, so my carefactor is pretty much nil.

Someone have a bad day today?

[Ragingrob]

If someone stole my bike, little would I care for the helmet attached to it in the scheme of things!

Sorry that I wasn't on kb 24/7 to reply to you asap.

Some one has their angry pants on:whocares:

[PirateJafa]

Angry? Nay, I'm just pre-occupied with downloading a movie about Nazi Zombies terrorising some medical students (some of whom are hot indeed).

As you can see, I have my priorities right. :niceone:

Thats ok, you are forgiven :nya:

Heh, speaking of which, travelled over the bridge this afternoon with a guy on a dr650 wearing proper gear. And his bike had dirt marks on it.... I knew it wasn't you



No one has bothered to deal with my lovely storage space where your bikes fuel tank is

[Danae]

I reckon you should at least get a helmet bag if you're gonna lock your helmet to your bike. That way your gloves are safe as well. Atm with my scooter I don't have to worry about this as it has under-seat storage. However I has a locker so I'll just stick my gear in that when I get my bike.

[macros87]

i lock my helmet to my bike, even my jacket if its sheltered parking, but i just take my gloves with me... particularly at uni cos i carry a bag just seems the easiest most convenient option.... though i do miss the tons of storage in my scooter...made things even easier

[YellowDog]

I have these gloves too ('cos they match the bike).

They are really well protected around the knuckles and would make fantastic boxing gloves.

Don't mess with the Blue Gloved Rider

[Quasievil]

Guys n Girls you do need to be careful with your gear, we would write about two or three insurance quotes a month against stolen gear.
It happens alot.

[Metalor]

That's shit man... low life's! Good on Quasi for shouting you a pair though (if I read correctly)

I always put my gloves in my bag, gloves don't bulk your bag out, and I wear my jacket around the whole day... can be a bitch in summer though, haha. Helmet is always locked to my bike, unless I happen to forget my big fuck off lock , then I have to carry it :(

[motorbyclist]

And to think there's probably some scooter rider out there who no longer has cold hands in the morning, and will be parking within 500m of us every day

[xwhatsit]

Serves you right for living in Epsom. It's the epicenter of crime.. just look at today's story.
Don't you know it's all the South Aucklanders like me coming there... that's why they need to build that new motorway.



That sucks balls Steve. Funny, I left the keys in my bike for 6 hours last Sunday while it was parked on Parnell Rd.

I suppose it's not worth the effort to try and kickstart a bike when you're only going to get $20 for it on Trademe :bleh:

[macros87]

people are being far too laid back though, this morning i parked and i was locking my helmet to my bike, just thought of this thread and thought id have a looksie at how other people had attached their helmets to their bikes and this scooter had only straped the helmet to it, anyone could have taken it off no problem, it was just a matter of noticing, its not even inconspicuously attached, it was really noticeable i just think no one would think anyone would just leave a helmet like that so its safe for now... but it would only take some one do what i did and it would be gone...

[Danae]

I can't afford new gear so I'm definitely looking after mine. :'[

[The Pastor]

Serves you right for living in Epsom. It's the epicenter of crime.. just look at today's story.

yeah but they all come from south auckland.

[ital916]

I dont lock my helmet to my bike as I dont want careless scooter riders or pedestrians smaking into it all day hence damaging the thing that will protect my noggin in case of epic fail happening.

[ital916]

Ooh im coming over to watch it sometime!

Oi lets go watch T4 at the big screen..suposedly it is mega fail though.

Only protects the important bits eh.

what you talking about? t4 is awesome!

[macros87]

what? T4 was great, i really enjoyed it! im not a follower of the originals but i dnt see how this movie was not a good sequel for some one who is a fan, i mean if that's why you say it fails...

[Squiggles]

It could have been better!

[Danae]

No spoilers, I still have to see it!!

[macros87]

It could have been better!

i guess there's ALWAYS room for improvement, but when does asking for more improvement become a bit unreasonable? only so many things one can do with guns robots and apocalypses :P

[ital916]

I saw it yesterday and as a fan I thought it was awesome. Of course it is not going to be as good as the original as they are two different genres, the original was sci fi horror, this is more sci fi war.

I thought it was badass..and I am a terminator fan...now if only james cameron directed lol. My ears are still ringing from all the explsoions.

[Slyer]

Just saw it, well worth watching.

[Hanne]

So what is the plan then, recruit the robots from the film to track down the glove-thieving culprits and give them the bad-ass original arnie treatment?

[Ooky]

best part about T4 was the robots with a do-rag i mean wtf... was his outfit just not quite complete?:Oi:

[macros87]

ohhhhh i wanted to bitch about that so much but i didn't wanna spoil that weird feeling of wtf to those who haven't seen it...

[klyong82]

haha SPOILER!!!

[motorbyclist]

i guess there's ALWAYS room for improvement, but when does asking for more improvement become a bit unreasonable? only so many things one can do with guns robots and apocalypses :P

perhaps some meaning? an idea or theme that is worth discussing later on?


i'm yet to see it and it had better be better than that family comedy they called T3

i'm told I will be dissapointed.

[Hanne]

i'm told I will be dissapointed.

Well maybe this will cheer you up.
It is a HAPPY picture.
