best bike helmets under 100 image
wowza
If i were at school, collage, store, or just out to eat? Im just curious where you guys put your helmets. Wouldn't one worry if they left it on their bike of it being stolen?
Weird question but interested.
Answer
I generally carry it with me. If I *had* to leave the bike and the helmet, I'd use my lock- a large D-shaped piece of steel with a hard-to-pick round key. I generally lock the front wheel and the lock is big enough that I could slip the chinstrap through the lock. I've got those little locks that hold the helmet under the seat, but don't care for those. When I do this, the helmet is frequently on the ground, where it's inconvenient to take it.
Though you didn't ask, the other piece of equipment that I have to carry is my one-piece Barbour suit. I have a bag that the helmet came in, and that works pretty well for the suit. Looks a bit like an airplane carry-on. But if I can carry the suit around, I generally carry the helmet, too.
Oh, you can never be 100% secure that someone won't steal your bike, helmet or anything else. All you can do is make it more inconvenient for the thief. Let him find an easier target. ... Take care!!

How much cheaper to own is a motorcycle than a car?
David
I'm trying to choose between a couple years old honda civic coupe (approx $10k) and a couple year old motorcycle (not sure exactly which one yet, but planning on getting a reliable and affordable bike that is a couple years old).
I also will buy a quality helmet, jacket, boots, and gloves.
Is insurance more or less expensive? Also take into consideration gas savings, potential medical bills (hopefully not), etc.
Specifically, how much cheaper is it?
Answer
Motorcycles are considerably cheaper. The primary cost is much cheaper. You can get a nice, brand new bike for around $8,000 or a one or two year old bike for around $6,000.
Insurance varies widely depending on what coverage you're looking for. Liability, that's coverage to pay for things you hit, is generally very cheap with bikes. Collision and Comprehensive, the coverages that pay for the bike if you wreck or it's stolen, varies from person to person but as a general rule, you can get Collision, Comprehensive and liability coverage for under $300/year. That's pretty cheap. What you're not getting is any medical coverage for yourself if you get hurt. That's, for obvious reasons, very expensive coverage to buy on a motorcycle, expect about $100/mo just for that coverage.
Motorcycles usually get at least 50mpg, so good savings on gas. If you get decent safety gear you'll spend about a grand on that.
So, there's really only two reasons not to get one. First, and you nailed it here, motorcycles are EXTREMELY dangerous. What would ruin your day in a car, say a guy merges into you and scrapes your door, could kill you on a bike. Even if you're an extremely safe rider, who's to say the guy on that cross street is? Oops, didn't see that stop sign, there goes a leg, right?
Motorcycle bodily injury coverage, the expensive stuff I was talking about, usually only covers up to $10,000, and that's if you buy a lot of it. So that coverage could be used up with just one helicopter ride to the hospital. The rest would be on your own dime. A couple days in the hospital can easily cost over $100,000. So, if you're on a bike, you MUST have your own health insurance.
The other issue is, what do you do when it rains? "Sorry boss, can't come in until the rain stops . . . " If you live in Arizona, or maybe LA, you can get away with having a bike for your only vehicle, just about anywhere else, it's just stupid.
