Pac Safe

[irnbrumad]

Hi guys

me and russg are going to do a wee bit of touring on his sv for 3 weeks in June, seeing things here and there in England and possibly heading over to France. Campsite and activity suggestions are welcome ;)

Anyhow, we're thinking of getting a helmet pacsafe for each of us, £40ish each... has anyone used/got one? Opinions?

fankoo :D

I just lock my helmet to the bike by attaching it to the clip under the pillion seat, oh's gets a small bike lock through it as it isn't the dd type strap.

I'm assuming this is to save carrying the helmets with you. suppose it would allow you to stow gloves within helmet but to me seems like extra baggade and expense for no real gain. Obviously never used one so probably no real help, I'll leave now.

Attaching to below the pillion seat is alright just for one helmet? Can it take 2? We're thinking pacsafe because we might be leaving the bike for a bit and it'll save us carrying the helmets with us all the time

Yes, one either side. Alternatively if you are chaining up the bike nothing to stop you threading the chain through the helmet.
Like i said I've a small 12" bike lock for the oh's helmet, think it was a fiver, probably as secure as the pacsafe.

i have a bicycle lock that would do the trick if KG can't find his one if you want to borrow it.

Large cable ties?
Or tie wraps, not sure what you guys call them down there..

KG, didn't you put my helmet on your bike too? :confused:

Well, I don't have anywhere to store lids on my shi**y machine. Humph. Go you :winner: Mind out KG. :smt119 Us burds are unsafe....

To keep your helmets safe, find a very good quality covered chain BICYCLE lock and then run this through the helmets and round a piece of solid work on your bike.. preferably the frame or a rear wheel. You can surely fit a relatively lightweight chain in a backpack or under the seat, or you could tie it round your waist.

The other thing the pac safe does for you is stop your lid from filling up with water. Worth thinking about if you're touring in England in June ;-)
