Stolen Auckland - Caberg Tourmax white XL helmet

[haydes55]

Just as much (probably more) chance of this wanker scratching it / dropping it while carrying it around. The bags that come with most helmets have got to be the most useless things ever invented, plus I've got another bag I need to carry already. Bike's my only transport, don't have the option of using a car for shopping etc. Do have a top box, but the locking mechanism on that is probably less secure than the padlock I used to have, and the old new helmet wouldn't fit with the peak. This one might.

Just wear the helmet all the time then. It can be like a beanie, but cooler because it cost a lot and has a flash logo. Trust me, the ladies love a man in a label beanie. Be a trend setter. Added bonus of using a tinted visor as classy sunnies. Best bonus is saving all the money on haircuts and hair products! Safe from theft.... Unless you're coming up for a beheading?



Another helpful post brought to you by our sponsors, boredom and sleep deprivation.

Edit: Although from what I remember you won't save much money from haircuts and hair products.

You know, I might just be cool enough to pull that off.

Given its value and the ease of nicking it, or just being scratched by some passing wanker, why don't you take it with you when you park up?

This! +1

...what happens if it rains?(won't your lid get wet inside?), or the bike falls over? (damaging both the bike and helmet!), add theiving pricks nickin em, and fuckers who just like to break/steal or fill said helmets with soft drink an such

...no thanks , I don't ever leave my lid with the bike, and for very good reason's.

I've had one stolen from my bike. Ever since I've always carried my helmet with me.

Your best bet to ensure further helmet protection would be to prospect for a 1% MC.
When the patched members are in the super market you will be standing guard on the bikes to make sure such a atrocity never happens again.

Alternatively you could wear it on your head everywhere and call anyone that tells you to remove it a racist. They should leave you well alone after that.

Nice helmet btw

well, after reading this all i can say is im really glad i shifted to the other end of the country where the roads are better and everybody leaves their helmets with their bikes and given that most of us down here are all weather riders we don't really worry to much if it rains a little and our helmets get wet and given that we get to deal with the odd gale force breeze we learn to park our bikes with the side stand down so that they do not fall over. i do know the odd person whos helmet would actually smell better and look cleaner if someone was kind enough to pour soft drink in to it for them.

Bullshit Rusty. Had my helmet hanging off the bars in winton one day, and some fucker put a dead bird in it. Would have been nice if they scraped all the maggots off it first, the bird that is, not my helmet. At least it was a nice day, and I just rode back through the otapiri gorge with no helmet.

How far did you ride before noticing the bird??

Noticed it before putting it on thankfully. That helmet is reserved for my Irish mates when they come over for a ride.

Yes, but at least it's out of sight.

[roy.nz]

Sucks to have that happen.

Thats why I have never left my helmet on the bike. Will rather carry than loose.

I work in the south auckland area so I will keep a look out. Wont be to hard to miss.

Haha yeah. A coconut wearing a helmet like that will stick out like a sore thumb...

It's a Revolver Evo like this:

No groovy graphics unfortunately (it's a flip up). No pinlock either which is a shame.

My new lock weighs 2kg and would have to be cut twice with an angle grinder, I may be over-reacting a little.

What did it cost? How would you rate it?
How does it compare with the Caberg?
