Today I am offering a big yellow motorcycle helmet. It is in great condition - but we no longer have a motorcycle. Well, we do, but it is at my father-in-laws house and we never use it. So, the helmet sits in its bag and is sad and lonely - just wanting to save a life.
Two houses back, we lived in Evanston. Dave had a scooter that he enjoyed riding to work and wore a basic helmet. Well, it got stolen - the day we brought it home. So, we got a replacement that lasted a while - maybe a year??? Then, it got stolen. Hint - if you live in Evanston, don't have a scooter! We wised up and did not get another one.
We moved to Arlington Heights and had the dumb idea of getting a motorcycle. It was more my idea than his and it just never felt right and we did not use it much. So, it made its way to my father-in-laws and he enjoys taking it on weekend trips. He has the other helmet - not that he wears it! We're going to get it back and freecycle that one too...
We have not had the motorcycle about 2 years - thus the helmet has not been used in at least that long - but probably more like 3 years. Despite it not being used, this was a tough one for Dave to part with. Not that he will miss it, but because it was expensive for us at the time - and it admits he will probably not ride the motorcycle again. But, some day I think he'll get another scooter - so we won't get rid of that helmet!
