Got ready for work today. Headed out to roll the bike out (going to try my new jacket this morning).
My helmet's gone. It's usually sitting on the seat of the bike. I look on the ground on the other side of the bike, anticipating yelling at the kids for knocking it off the bike. Not there either. Turn around at look at Wifes Virago, no helmet. I go inside and wake wife up (5 am) asking if she had moved the helmets (not likely).
Someone came in our garage and stole our helmets. $15,000 worth of tools sitting there, several good mountain bikes. They took the helmets.
Of course I'm the only one without a spare (big head).
Upside is that I was thinking yesterday that the helmet is (was) 4 years old and about time to be replaced
I had to drive the Suburban to work, yuck.

Pat, I have several spare helmets down here at the shop - give me a call I'll bring one over to you.

...you DO know that the XS11s have a helmet lock (?)

Pat,

Might I suggest a pair of Rottwielers for the garage?



I used to have a beagle who actually prefered the garage to the house. She could raise a racket when she thought some thing wasn't right (like some dumba$$ taking your helmets)

Thanks Ron. I'll head over to MotoWorld or Cyclegear after work for a new one.
We do have a Chow/Husky that intimidates people but he lives in the backyard.
I just hope the person that took it uses it (aka crashes). I also hope (if that were to happen) that the helmet is defective and he finds the defect. If someone else uses it (unknowingly) that it protects them.

Hey Pat,
I'll trade you one of my helmets for a quick look at a shop manual...
...'got a new rear tire and it came off real easy, got the new tire mounted over here at the Honda dealer and then 'tried to remount the tire...
...the brake caliper, pads, *everything* came apart; 'can't quite get it back together yet... and my shop is 15 miles from my house - ****TOO**** far for an old fart like me to "hoof it"...
