helmet stolen

[cervin]

ughhhh this is just a rant post

i was teaching a friend of mine how to ride a motorcycle so I decided to place my brand new biltwell hustler helmet with the bubbleshield on the tarmac so i dont have to carry it around

we're practicing on the parking lot when literally 5mins later its gone

seriously?

....dude that sux....thats actually one of the reasons I rarely buy New Shit....Since they don't have helmet insurance go check out a swap meet/flea market/yard sale and grab a few older ones(sometimes you can grab a shoei for a $1), they are really easy to take apart and re-do with custom paint and padding...spend all the Helmet $$$ on a GPS for your nicest one

That's brutal. I can't believe another motorcyclist stole your helmet, probably some punk ass kid taking advantage of an opportunity.

Agreed!

to be honest I do feel stupid leaving it there, but I suppose I was just leaning towards the hope of goodness of others? I mean seriously, if you see someone teaching someone how to ride a motorcycle and the next thought you have is "oh free helmet"- how did it come to this

i would feel guilty stealing a helmet man! Its like stealing someone life jacket

That shit is weak. Hopefully karma will get that thief eventually. But I bet that's the last time you leave your valuables outta sight. Hard learned lesson. I hate people sometimes. Sorry bro.

Im gonna guess it wasn't another motorcyclist that did it. Rarely will a biker steal another biker's equipment, unless they aren't really a "biker." Ie, they are just a fucktard on two wheels at the moment. Its exactly the same concept from back in my snowboard days. I, and my friends would frequently leave our $1000 gear outside in the staging area to go warm up or have lunch, because other snowboarders (and skiers) don't steal their brethren's stuff. Ive heard ofthe a deck theif seen riding a board he stole at the same slope. The owner's friends founsf him and a wrong was righted. Its the weekend kids and wannabes that you gotta look out for. In your helmets case, the punk probably has no idea what he got till he goggled it.

It was a long time ago that I learned not to leave anything, no matter of how much or little value, unsecured and in public. It will almost positively go missing.

That blows... keep an eye on craigs for it!

Man that sucks, just shows people suck for the most part.

I would say the same about not being a biker, last year a few buddies and I rode down to the moto gp race in Indy and parked in the infield with hundreds if not thousands of other bikes. Literally everyone left all their gear on their bikes and you didn't hear anything about anything coming up missing, try that in a regular parking lot and see how much of your stuff is still there.

And sorry but I'll try to throw a little humor in here. This is what I saw as I scrolled down the updated threads, made me chuckle before I read either one.
