we2riders Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Helmet? GOD BLESS TEXAS,, STILL STANDING FOR WHAT AMERICA USED TO BE!!
dacheedah Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 on the mirror or backrest if I am close and can see it. I'll unplug and wear it , I know chicks dig guys in helmets and I can't help butt be sexy on those short stops. Trunk at work and occasionally under trunk
SilvrT Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 I have a small cable and lock. It's a full face helmet so I put the helmet on the rear seat run the cable thru the face around the rear grab rails and lock the ends together. Only takes a second. I keep the cable & lock in the trunk. I have a larger and longer cable that I run thru the sleeves of my jacket to lock it the bike as well. For over night trips I use a disk brake lock with alarm, pad lock the steering, use a big bull dog cable around the frame thru the rear wheel. Plus the bike has a gorilla alarm, and I cover it. I hide under the cover all night with my 357 just in case. :Laugh:
Guest tx2sturgis Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) GOD BLESS TEXAS,, STILL STANDING FOR WHAT AMERICA USED TO BE!! Its ironic that in Texas you cant legally wear or carry a 'bowie' knife, (remember the Alamo!) and we STILL dont have 'open carry' of sidearms. They are working on that last part tho. Lots of counties, precincts, and cities in Texas STILL have laws prohibiting the sale or consumption of alcohol. The county I live in is still 'dry', but a few years ago, I was involved in a local grassroots movement to change the law here in this small town. We circulated a petition, got the required number of signatures, and were awarded the vote on the next ballot, and won by 34 votes! I was also involved peripherially in the TMRA2 (Texas Motorcycle Rights) efforts to change the Texas helmet laws in the Austin Legislature back in 1998-1999. We won, but the helmet efforts now by the federal government have begun to worry some of us. The safety-crats have a place, but I wish they would stay the heck out of Texas!

Bobby G Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Georgia law says that you cannot be cited for not wearing a helmet if you advise the LEO that yours was just stolen, so I know a lot of folks that just leave them out to be snached up! LOL! Seriously, I usually just plop mine on the backrest or hang it from the handlebar, unless it's a really nasty area and I will be gone for awhile. Then it gets locked up.
