Beware of the opportunists

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]

Some people steal bikes too. Yeah?

Can't your boyfriend stick up for himself?

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

[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.

Thats ok, you are forgiven

[Real_Wolf]

Yep, and a peaked helmet.

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.

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

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

[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. :'[
