Great to read alternate experiences and perspectives.

Haha That does suck OP. Nolans are expensive brands i own a scorpion and the wife a Zeus but if i had something more expensive i would use the helmet hooks
 
But when i am in some of the bigger places like brantford I put it in the top box or take it in with me.

Situational awareness is a prime survival tictac toe.
 
Are yo saying Rob Ford stole his helmet. Some news paper will print that story..

They blame Rob F for everything these days, lol. Even if their children misbehave
 
Well, I did really like the nolan though it was not cheap. A brief review of the dearly departed may be in order. Usually i ride doing errands going from shop to shop so my helmet comes on and off frequently. I wear glasses so I quickly stopped using the detachable chin guard and used it as an 3/4 with the face shield up or down depending on conditions. I don't think the helmet was really a great looker (ok not at all a great looker). It did fit well, was quality construction. Forget about ventalation . this model is supposed to be well ventillated (the european version). The north american version has modificatinos whcih i think really reduced the ventillation to fliping the face shiedl up (don't get me wrong there is vent lever but it did not have much effect). Also forget about the built in glare shield. Does not come down low enought to be effective in the upgright scooter rider positon.

All in all, I liked the helmet, but will be looking for something different to replace it.
 
Sorry to hear that. I also never leave the lid out there unless there are other riders around and likely to stay. Mostly scared by the Square 1 urination story lol
 
im betting the person that off'd the helmet just did it for doing it. probably chucked it over a nearby fence or garbage can. anyone who "needs" a helmet isnt going to steal whatever they see.

i wear a shorty, and it fits nice inside my hardbags. so i never worry
 
My helmet fits in my lockable saddle bag :-). But bring it in is a chick magnet. You guys ever see hall pass!?

Had my old AGV Stealth (which had a good few scratches) cut by the strap off the passenger seat helmet lock in a Brampton parking lot last summer...

I keep my gloves in the helmet, but they left those on the ground. Strange considering they were Velocity VR Pros, and were worth more than the helmet itself lmao :confused:
 
really? really??

who steals a helmet? so low.

sorry to hear about your loss man. sucks!

and as someone else mentioned, yeah double whammy having to ride home without helmet etc…. sucks

Who kicks a cat, keys a car, smashes a beer bottle on the street? Answer: Losers of all shapes and colours.

Why? Because they are losers at doing anything good so they get their jollies from doing loser stuff.

If the situation justified riding home without a lid I would first phone the local cop shop and report it getting some reference number. That will not make it legal to ride breezy but might get you some slack if stopped.

I can see the cop on the other end of the phone doodling on a scrap piece of paper while supposed to be taking a report for a stolen helmet.

if you're going to ride it home without a lid, cover your plates up.
 
go buy a combo gun cable lock. i put it through the chin of my helmet when i decide to eave it on the bike. usually i bring it wit me though.

What a great idea! I have a few that I can use!
 
You guys have it relatively lucky..I used to live near Liverpool where everything needed to be bolted down to the floor or it would be taken. Dad had his car broken into and they stole......his lunch. Lived in Manchester for a while, when I got bored I stood on the fire escape and watched little kids throw away bags they had just stolen from cars or watched cops chasing thieves through alleyways. Anyone that visted could not park their car on the sidestreet as it would either not be there in an hour, or it would be broken into.

OP, for karma carry a piss soaked old helmet with you everywhere and leave it on your bike...when it goes missing rejoice in the feeling that somewhere, there's a ********* with a urine shampoo job.
 
It does denote a lack of Scandinavian.
