Have you been following the post re 'insecure loads'?
Sorry to hear about your loss, better that it was able to be stolen than you find it tangled up in a motorbike though.

Bugger.

Ian has a good point though!

I lost my bicycle helmet off the back of a trailer when I was 8.

One of those bright yellow stackhats - never to be seen again.

*sniffs*

already rang the police. For the record a tie down broke. I think it happened as i pulled over to let traffic passed it was a lot rougher than i thought

Had the load caused an accident/incident, the fact that the strap broke would not have been a defence. To appreciate the complexities of being a modern day truck driver, read the Code for Load Restraint. This guideline covers any load on any vehicle.
Then go on to Fatigue, Overdimention, Exess Mass, Dangerous Goods and a raft of others. When you have got through them, go back and start again, as the goalposts have been shifted.

You did! You did!

And I nice shiney one complete with a spear head on top Centurion style - very nice I must say.

BUT: It's not bright yellow and isn't twice the size of my head, so it is lacking that nostalgic feel.
