Phongeer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Saw this online somewhere, went to Wal Mart, bought these for $6 each, put them up last night and they work great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted April 20, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 20, 2012 Nice. Fortunately for me I have some built in shelving in the MBR that my wife let me take over! She gets most of the closet though. Great idea for spares and my office though. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just jumped up and bought four! One for my helmet, the wife's helmet, and each of our favorite jackets! Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CrazyInNYC Posted April 20, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 20, 2012 That seems like a better deal than the two Condor mounts I bought for ~$20 each. http://store.condor-lift.com/products.php?product=Mount-Type-Helmet-Hanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I prefer to put my helmet on a shelf. These hooks deform the foam inside your helmet which not only decreases safety but also allows for more wind turbulence so you helmet gets noisier.

Member Contributer BCmcrider Posted April 22, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 22, 2012 Helmet goes on the top of the drill press. Gloves go on the service cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc339 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 might have to try that out. my helmet stays in my room with me. I have an overwhelming fear that if i leave my helmet in the garage spiders will climb into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an overwhelming fear that if i leave my helmet in the garage spiders will climb into it. That will absolutely happen! At least in my garage... I have a couple silica gel packs from somewhere and I stick one in my helmet and put it in the drawstring sack. That's for the "good" helmet. The others get a silica pack and a shop towel over the opening, or just set on top of my other bike. By the way, never on the tank over the gas cap. Escaping fumes can degrade the interior. Also never on the mirror, as the pressing on the interior and causing damage to the foam argument has already been raised. Also, they are very dirty! Mine collect many dead bugs, why do people stick their helmets on them?!?! Also might move my mirror position. I hate constantly readjusting them. When I look, they need to be where I left 'em!

Member Contributer tbzep Posted May 20, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have brown recluse spiders all over the place. Local exterminators say chemicals won't do much good so I just live with them. I've grown accustomed to them and know that they don't bite unless their bodies feel pressure against them. I always watch how I pick up things, and if one crawls across my hand, I just let it keep going instead of swatting at it. I generally don't kill spiders, but I do kill them, mainly because I don't want the family to get bitten and have to deal with flesh rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never let a spider crawl across me, I would die. I was trying to vacuum up a spider once and it ran at me, I jumped up and screamed like a little girl... Then cried... Im a dude. People have told me I shouldn't kill spiders, but my policy is, If they are outside, and I am in their home, I will not kill a spider. BUT, if they are in my home, that is trespassing, which in my house, is an offense punishable by death. So be warned spiders, DO NOT TRESPASS IN MY HOUSE. that is all.

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted May 21, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm a catch and release kind of person. If I can catch a spider crawling around the house, I release them in the garden bushes outside. Unless it's a Black Widow, then all bets are off, first one to draw wins...So far I haven't lost yet!! Now back to the original thread... Rosso, is this a shelf you have or a picture of one you saw in a magazine/website? I like this a lot. Place for helmet, gloves and hanging the leathers. I prefer to put my helmet on a shelf. These hooks deform the foam inside your helmet which not only decreases safety but also allows for more wind turbulence so you helmet gets noisier.

V4 Rosso Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 These racks are available at a few motorcycle shops like Louis in Germany and MandP in the UK both in single or twin setup. When you do a internet search for "helmet shelf" I am sure something will pop up from a shop in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
