So sorry to hear of your loss Trace. It is a shame that the station footage did not at least pick up a suspicious vehicle moving toward your bike. A big station the one at Westgate.....surprised no one saw anything.
Just for info I recently purchased a Caberg flip front helmet and it is awesome. 5 star rating, retractable tinted visor and nice and light. Cost me $425 which is good considering the quality and features. The dealer lives in Glen Eden and is very obliging. If you would like to view them PM me (with your email as I have too few posts to PM yet) and I can provide you with his contact details.

i thought you couldnt post all in caps after winja left? thought they had turned it off or done something that would make the post come up in lower case?

My sympathies...my son had his helmet stolen yesterday...wasnt good timing as I was laid off work last Friday too....some ignorant a holes out there

Damn that blows.

I always leave my helmet on the seat whenever I go in to pay for petrol. I'm learning from this, helmet goes inside with me from now on.

I always take my helmet in with me while I pay.

If you must leave your helmet with the bike for some reason, you're best not to leave it on the seat! It's too easy for someone to bump it off and a drop from the seat onto concrete could be enough to 'write off' your helmet.

You're much better to put your helmet on the ground tucked in close to the bike. If you're worried about it getting dirty, put your gloves on the ground first and your helmet on top.

So it is a flip face model?

Yes it was the flip face model, exact same as the one i posted a picture of.

fundraising ride!!!

haha... Ill get it sorted, and don't expect any form of token from people, the main reason for this thread was to have people keep an eye out for them!

Thanks for offer, but Ill get my old helmet up from the naki, although its a little big, it will do. And I wouldn't even be able to say which size my helmet was... never thought to take note, so will have to have some fun trying on helmets again. Any suggestions of great helmets out there?

get a bandana or thin beanie to wear underneath. helps to fill the gap just that little bit more.

thanks for the suggestion... and I also plan to put my hair up into it... that fills it out!

Ive been searching TradeMe... any other sites I should be checking? No luck so far, but I don't expect it to be up this quick, and thats if they are even gonna sell them online.

I wouldn't say that they would be sold on Tardme in my opinion. Unless they are dumb, then again they are dumb enough to steal so who knows.

T&E isn't a bad idea but from experience (everyone knows one dodgy person aye) most things would go to someone they know, meet at the pub, workmate etc etc.

Still a pain in the arse. But if it is any consolation, although i'm sure it's not i am not the first person in this thread to say i have learnt from your unfortunate incident (i won't call it a mistake because it's really not your fault) and won't be taking any chances. Even with my shitty gear

Still hope you get it back and we can have a lynch mob of KB'ers sent round
