Follow-up on stolen helmet
When I stopped for dinner tonight and parked my bike in front of the restaurant where I could keep an eye on it, I went to lock my new helmet to the bike and found that the lock would not close. While not immediately visible, on closer daylight inspection it’s clear that the helmet lock was pried open. It’s bent and tool-marked. So, that means that did lock the helmet, and not just space cadet leave it to be taken.
Cold comfort, but I can stop kicking myself now.
I wonder if I now have an insurance claim to get the replacement helmet paid for. My insurance company said that they wouldn’t cover it, but I think that they will cover replacing the lock. On the other hand, why would I bother replacing the lock? It’s clearly useless.
Just wait until you get your
Just wait until you get your plugs cut.
And it’s not a matter of if, but when.
Is that a threat, Randy?

Spark plug tubes = Crackhead
Spark plug tubes = Crackhead McGyver improvised crack pipe.
Apparently the tubes stand up to heat quite nicely.
Although it puzzles me that a crackhead would find themselves in a situation where they:
Have actual crack.
Have a good source of flame to combust their aforementioned crack.
Have the tools needed to break off a spark plug
But have no crackpipe handy.
I started zip tie’ing old plugs to the frame of my ’76 CB 750 several months ago.
Today as I went to start my bike (parked overnight outside my g/f’s apt.) it didn’t. First place I looked was the plugs. Sure enough, the cap was removed from the right side plug. BUT the plug was still there, so all I had to do was re-attach the lead.
The offending crackhead must have started the normal removal procedure (usually by bashing it out w/ a rock) then saw my gift plug, took it and left.
Saved me a lot of trouble, and I got to work on time!
If you haven’t started doing this I urge you not to delay.
