Do Not Trust The Honda Helmet Lock!!!!!
This is what happens when you do----vvv


Helmet Lock Ring Bent To He!!


This is where the Person put there foot to Rip off the Helmet, I guess...

That sucks big time. Makes you wish they just cut the D ring.

 

that sucks!! Im very careless with my helmet. I just leave it on my passenger pegs and haven't gone missing yet (knock on wood). All the people around here don't wear helmets anyways. I just started 2 weeks ago.

 

Good for you - just read that motorcycle fatalities in states without helmet laws are 10 times (1000%) higher than those that do. Plus you eat fewer bugs.

 

It was Parked at a Parking Garage right next to a Theater and Outdoor Mall in Kent, Wa.
I went to get something to eat and watch a Movie. After that I went to go home and my helmet was gone. And yes I do wish they would have just cut the D-Ring.
There was also nothing Special about my helmet, it was a cheap $100 HJC.
Thats why I bought it, I figured no one would want it.
It was well after 1AM when the movie got out which sucked even more.

Now I have to Replace that back side Panel. So Pissed Off!!!!!

Sometimes it’s just impossible to understand what the h*** people are thinking. Getting damage dropping your bike is one thing, this sucks much worse. No cameras to check out? Probably won't help much, but still...

 

I loop an 18" cable through the faceplate, then lock it into my disk brake lock/alarm. I'm wear a fairly expensive Shoei, but it's plain white which somehow seems to be the least popular color amongst the kind of people who are likely to steal helmets. (Icons with wild graphics seem to be more their style.)

 

same... i have a Shoei rf-1100 and i am paranoid but they do seem to be not as recognized by thieves as pricey.

 

Nope no Cameras. I had a Cop come by and there is nothing they can do.
Whats sucks is that the Police Station is just a few blocks away...
Trying to get someone to get me a helmet at 1-2am was a pain and sucked.

 

Ugh I hate people, I wish honda would just put a regular lock style on these bikes!

 

Wow. Some people really suck. Sorry to hear about this.
Thanks for letting us know about the inadequate lock bar.

 

Yep my pain is your guys knowledge!!!

 

this sucks.....very sorry to see that damage

 

Sorry for this man, sad indeed. That fu.king thief possible has some power to do this.

i always carry my Shoei everywhere with me tied to my elbow. Never leave it locked or unlocked on the bike.
Besides, it looks cool with its red dragon graphic and i can use it as a basket for light shopping
and i always receive admiration and quick bike friendship from male and affection from female

 

So sorry man, I can't stand people like that.

 

Honda Motorcycle Parts, ATV, PWC Lowest Price Guarantee for the replacement part

 

Thanks for the link!!

 

Sorry this happened to you. People do suck. Some people are real pieces of rat sh1t.

I don't use the helmet lock. I just carry it with me. It's a cheapy, paid $90 for it.
If I had a real nice helmet, I wouldn't let it out of my sight.

People can't be trusted. Too many crackhead thugs out there.
Human scum.

 

Totally gutted on your behalf bro.

Thieves are the lowest kind of pond scum.

 

The very reason why my helmet (and tank bag) goes with me where ever I go!! It may be a pain sometimes but I know where my helmet has been. I know it hasn't been dropped etc.

 

I've learned to take the helmet with me. I don't like the helmet lock on the CBR500R, it's a hassle (and it looks like Honda cut a $$$ corner here, just like the gas cap, to save a few bucks).

Sorry for your trouble. But karma will catch up to the jerk.

 

Wow that is awful, hope it doesn't end costing to much to get fixed!

 

I learned one thing during my driving experience and my night life exp .... In nights never leave your helmet/ riding gear on the bikes.... people might think of crazy ideas when they are under alcohol influence.....

 

Yeah that's my worry: leave my helmet with the bike, and some idiot decides to spit/p1ss/cr@p in it for fun...

I have never seen ANY manufacturer-provided helmet lock that I couldn't defeat with a good solid tug or two.

You can secure a helmet to a bike, but not with anything any manufacturer gives you. They are at best meant to discourage the casual thief. It won't stop the guy who is just trying to do damage, but the truth is very little will stop that guy. If you protect one thing, he'll find a way to smash another.

I do like the XENA disk brake alarms. Just jiggle things a bit and they screech your ears off. That actually tends to be somewhat effective against drunks.

I've got one of them, and it IS terrifyingly loud. Worth the $ for sure.

 

sorry to see that much damage on you bike...

 

Thanks guys.
From what I found online, the side cowl is only about $38.
So it's not that bad.

I'll carry my helmet from now on.

 

Before you order new rear fairings!!! I will have a spare set of red ones in about 5 days if you want to buy mine.

 

Just send me a PM with the info.

 

i always locked my helmet on the lock aswell, but sorry things went sour for ya.. i will never lock my helmet up again, i got a plain helmet 2

 

Thats sucks.

But it is Kent...I'm sure your helmet is sitting on a pawn store shelf.

 

Yep I wouldn't doubt it. I checked Craigslist and didn't see anything.

 

That is really unfortunate. I treat my helmet like I treat my bike- it's my baby. I would be hesitant to leave it anywhere that isn't right next to me.
