I ALLWAYS SEE PEOPLE WITH MOTORCYCLES LOCK THERE HELMETS ON THERE BIKES WHEN THEY GO INTO A STORE, OR A BAR :cheers: , OR WHERE EVER THERE GOING. I WANT TO DO THAT TOO, BUT MY 91 GS DOESNT HAVE A LOCK NEER THE SEAT. DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE A LOCK? CAN I PURCHASE ONE AND SCREW IT ONTO MY BIKE, OR CAN I BUY A FACTORY PART?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Have you a manual? It nicely describes the helmet lock loops under the seat. You can buy a cable to use with those, if you like.
And...
(http://www.roadstergal.info/images/caps.jpg)
1. slick "Search" up top
2. type in "helmet lock*"
3. choose "search fo all terms" radio option
4. click [Search]
5. read
see how simple that is? also, you may want to lay off the capslock/shift key...
Isn't it possible for your hemet to get stolen if you lock it on the bike?
I DID SEARCH UP TOP FOR HELMET LOCK AND I GOT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HELMET LOCKS. I UNDERSTAND HOW TO SEARCH AND I CAME UP WITH NOTHING SO THEN I POSTED.
AND NO I DONT HAVE A MANUAL. THANKS FOR HELPING ME
AND THE SHIFT KEY IS NOT GETTING TURNED OFF. I HAVE ALLREADY DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER PEOPLE. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO USE CAPS LOCK. IF IM POSTING FROM HOME THEN I WILL USE LOWER CASE BUT FOR NOW IM USING UPPER CASE LETTERS.
:nana: @$$hole :nana:

But it's 1/8 second to turn it off for posting/email/nonjob stuff, and another 1/8 second to turn it back on for the job. :dunno: My job requires me to wear surgical gloves, but I take them off to post.
Just general I-net etiquette that makes a very big difference with very little effort.

I don't think you used the Search All Terms radio box, as specified. This was the 4th result:

it's annoying. it's like someone always screaming at you in real life.
THATS COOL, IM ALLWAYS UP FOR A GOOD JOKE BUT IT SUCKS THAT EVERY TIME I POST PEOPLE ALLWAYS GET SIDETRACKED FROM WHAT EVER THE TOPIC WAS AND START LEAVING NASTY COMMENTS ABOUT THE CAPS LOCK. ITS PRETTY LAME, THIS IS A COOL WEBSITE BUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE ARN'T COOL. IF THE POST IS REPEDITIVE THEN DONT READ IT AND PLEASE DONT RESPOND BECAUSE I AM LOOKING FOR A REAL ANWSER, NOT SOME @$$hole WITH THERE PANTIES IN A BUNCH TALKIGN ABOUT CAPS LOCKS. I DID A SEARCH AND I DIDNT GET THE SAME RESULTS THAT "OTHER PEOPLE" GOT BUT THAT IS NO REASON TO BE A duck. JUST MY 2 CENTS.
Typing in all CAPS, implies you are SHOUTING and is hard to read through on long posts. Imagine reading a book in all caps... :x
CAN WE GET BACK ON TOPIC. SO MY ONLY OPTIONS ARE TO ATTACH THE HELMET UNDER THE SEAT, BUY A CABLE, OR CARRY IT AROUND EVERYWHERE?
IM STILL SLIGHTLY CONFUSED ABOUT ATTATCHING THE HELMET UNDER THE SEAT.
OH AND JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IM GOIGN TO BE YELLING IN EVERY POST THAT IS MADE FROM WORK. :mrgreen: JUST A WARNING. I DONT WANT ANYONE TO CRY.
under the seat, a hook on the left and the right... hook the d ring of your helmet on them... reinstall the seat and y ou are off
Quote from: RTUBMANI DONT WANT ANYONE TO CRY.
That's fine. You'll just be lowering the probability that anyone will answer usefully.
thank you! i went through all of this for such a simple anwser. im typing in lower case for you because you were straight forward, and you have office space in your profile.
BUT EVERYONE ELSE IM STILL YELLING AT YOU

THEN DO NOT EXPECT MANY TO BE VERY HELPFUL SINCE THIS IS VERY ANNOYING TO READ!
THANKS FOR SHOWING ME THAT dgyver. IM GOING TO BE SURE TO TYPE IN HUGE UPPERCASE EVERYTIME I SEE ONE OF YOUR POSTS!
I was polite the first time I brought this to your attention, as others have as well. Obiviously you do not care about the respect of others. Do what you wish. I am not the only one you will be rude to and this will gain you no respect from others.
Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player. I wasn't complaining...but it does help to have posts in a smaller font...else they might think you are shouting. They might think you are hard of hearing. But we love ya :kiss: . Love the Baby GS, North Atlantic (cold stormy freakin' sea), and this forum.

I always take the helmet with me after I witnessed a real FUCKTARD throw their fast food garbage into someone's helmet that was locked to the side of a bike in a parking lot at the mall. Just walked by and nonchalantly stuffed it in instead of leaving it her truck. Typical South Florida ditzy be-yatch. :x
AND I WAS VERY RESPECTFUL WHEN I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THIS THE OTHER TIME AS WELL. AND I TOLD YOU I HAVE CERTIN STANDARDS THAT I HAVE TO ABIDE BY WHEN I AM AT WORK AND I WISH THAT YOU WOULD RESPECT THAT.
DONT WORRIE CERNUNOS JUST KEEP POSTING FUNNY shaZam! AND ILL BE HAPPY.
AND JUNO, THAT IS A GOOD POINT. I WOULD BE PISSED IF I CAME BACK TO A DOUBLE CHEESE BURGER AND FRENCH FRIES IN MY MOTORCYCLE HELMET.

Fair enough...but I bet playing on the internet is not one of the standards ;)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
:lol:
HEY, YOU GOT ME THERE. I STILL GET ALL MY WORK DONE AND NO ONE COMPLAINS :thumb:
YOU SHOULD ASK FOR A CUSTOM TITLE that designates you as not shouting.
THAT IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. WHO WOULD I TALK TO ABOUT THAT. I AM GOIGN TO CHANGE MY NAME TO CAPSLOCK
Ask John the site owner, I'm sure he'll take care of it for you. :thumb:
I just had to bring this up since the thread had to do with helmets on the bike. Bebe has an uncle who owns an old Sportster. He had not ridden in a while and left it parked in the barn just about the whole summer with his helmet stashed on one of the mirrors in an upright position. Well, around September of that year he got around to riding...does the usual checks to make sure the bike is ok, fires up the bike, puts on the helmet and pulls out to go down the dirt road that meets the paved road. Just before he gets to the paved part we see him start swerving and jerking and the bike crashes off the side of the road into a gulley. We run over to him to see what's happened and he's goin' berserk trying to get the helmet off; there was a big wasp nest inside the helmet!! They had stung him on the head, the ears, face, neck...I know it's horrible but Bebe and I were laughing so hard that I thought he was going to kick my ass (he's a big dude too). His friggin' head looked like someone had been thowin' golf-balls at it. The lesson is: always check yer helmet for bugs before you put it on. Love the little GS, Connecticut (another good place for automotive engineers...strange), and this forum.
C........
No, you should be "thinks he has big-balls". Love the Baby, Wyoming (why did cowboys go there if it's so cold?), and this forum.
C........
That would definintely suck.
I always look in mine if it's been in the garage all night or a day or two.
Ouch!
MY HELMET SITS ON THE SHELF IN MY CLOSET RIGHT NEXT TO THE CLEAN SHEETS AND THE CLOTHES WASHING DETERGENT. IT WAS THE ONLY SAFE PLACE I COULD FIND FOR IT IN MY ROOM. AT LEAST IT ALLWAYS SMELLS NICE.
I'm so glad I checked this thread. I love it when RTUBMAN types in all caps. It puts a hop in my step every time because WITHOUT FAIL, he will get blasted in the 2nd or 3rd post. Dgyver, that was classic. Cernunos, you need to buy the wrecked sportster from Bebe's uncle!
RTUBMAN, keep up the good work!!! I love watching you get kicked around for a while, your standard defense, and your unwavering steadfast refusal to do anything about it (Roadstergal, did you have that picture already, or did you take it special, just for our friend here?).
Great!!!

I LOVE IT TOO! IT MAKES WORK SO BY SO FAST. GETS ME ALL FIRED UP. ITS GOOD TIMES. I DONT GET ENOUGH DRAMA AT HOME WITH MY ROOMMATES SO I COME HERE AND POST TO GET MORE DRAMA IN MY LIFE. THANKS JAKE D FOR POINTING THAT OUT, AND IM HAPPY I PUT A HOP IN YOUR STEP EVERYTIME I POST. [/quote]
Ya want drama? Go home and slap one of yer room-mates in the face. THAT will get you drama. BTW, Pulp Fiction...great movie. And Jake, can't buy that Sportster, that was a few years back and he's still ridin' it. Didn't even hurt the bike but, boy, was he "sore" about it. :lol: Love that mild 500, New Hampshire (don't know a damn thing about the place), and this forum.
C.......
Ive heard of peope getting their helmets pissed in when left on their bikes...so be careful, lunch trash might be the least of your worries.
Keep a used fabric softener sheet in your helmet to keep the stench at bay too...
And, respect the forum and use lowercase. Please.
PANTABLO, YOUR A MODERATOR. MABEY YOU CAN HELP ME OUT. CAN YOU CHANGE MY NAME OR MAKE ME A CAPS-LOCK WHORE OR SOMETHIGN STUPID LIKE THAT? PRETTY PLEASE!
AND I DONT WANT YOU TO THINK IM DISRESPECTING THE FORUM, BEUCASE I LOVE THE FORUM AND IT HAS HELPED ME OUT MANY OF TIME WITH MY BIKE.
Godfather, I beseech you, the kid meant no harm...he thinks he has "big balls"...please, Godfather, let it go. Just for this one poor messed up looony. He can't help it. Love the Baby GS, Pantablo's birth country (it was Brasil right?), and this forum.

ILL BE THE PERMINATE LOCAL CLUB RACER. THATS FINE WITH ME AS LONG AS ITS IN ALL CAPS LOCK, AND AS LONG AS IM NOT DRINKING ALONE :lol: .

DAVIPU, ALL JOKES ASIDE. ARE YOU REALLY FROM SILVERTON OR? IS IT AS PRETTY AS JOE DIRT DESCRIBED IT? JUST GOTTA KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!
I THINK I MISSED YOUR JOKE. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE UMBRELLA GIRL ?
they are paid to stand on the side and look pretty (with thier mouth shut)
yeah, i am. but in joe dirt that was a town in idaho that they used for the scene, the opening scene in bandits whare they rob the bank was filmed here, if you was wondering what it really looked like.
Umbrella girl stands around with her umbrella up, shading the riders and techs. You post with yer caps up, shading the riders and the techs. Yeh, Umbrella girl with big balls. Love the Baby GS, Nova Scotia (is that part of Canada?), and this forum.
C........
THATS COOL. I WAS JUST WONDEING IF IT WAS THE SAME TOWN.
I DONT THINK I LIKE THE WHOLE UMBRELLA GIRL IDEA. I THINK IM ALITLLE TO HAIRY, TO LOOK SEXY FOR THE RIDERS AND TECHS, PLUS IM A GUY. UNLESS THAT IS WHAT YOUR INTO DAVIPU AND CERUNOS. YOU LIKE GUYS WITH BIG BALLS UMBRELLA'ING YOU?
I guess you missed the underlying message here, if your going to type in caps, STFU
As long as I'm in the shade I don't care if it's a chimpanzee holdin' the umbrella. And spell my name right...CERNUNOS. And I thought Dav was a bad speller. Love the little GS, Minnesota (Vikings still there?), and this forum.

everyone, spam his PM box. with uppercase msgs of course

If I lock the helmet to the bike, I do it via the chin bar. I don't trust some goober to realize before cutting that the helmet is useless without 'em; I want the helmet to still be useful to me!
I just put it in the Givi trunk... ;)

i've read a few times that contrary to popular belief, helmets can be restrapped.
hey guys, im home now. please bash me just alittle more. i held up my end of the promise though. im typing in lower case. does that mean i cant be the umbrella girl anymore?
You will always be the umbrella girl. Love the little twin, Pennsylvania (Erie on the lake), and this forum.

Come on John!!!
Or are you still turning ideas around in your evil mind?
:dunno:
:)
this is so much fun...
Some people are such attention whores....I guess negative attention is better than no attention at all...
I think that's probably the same reason people jump off a roof on to a table and compress their spine...their f&*cking heros in their own world.
I'll drink to that....wait I'm already drunk...
I'll problably regret this post tomorow...but so much fun right now
:cheers:
The question has been answered. Nothing more to see here. Move along.
