I never get nervous about my helmet. It's either on my head, in my garage, or under my desk at work. I don't leave it anywhere. People will steal your sh*t, crime of opportunity.

When I do it has a cable lock through it, attached to my Xena disk lock/alarm. Not foolproof, but eliminates the crime of opportunity types.

I occasionally leave it hanging on the mirror if I'm in the immediate area, like stopping for a bite on a weekend ride when I'm never more than 20 feet away.

I never leave mine on the bike ...always take it with me.

Don't leave mine if I can't see it. Had a buddy get a soda dumped in his while it was locked to his bike.

That's messed up right there man! That would cause me to loose control if I saw someone doing that.

I leave it on the bike occasionally with a thick bike combination lock

+1, my disk lock came with a 4' cable, I usually bring everything with me.But I can run the cable through my jackets sleeve, two helmets, my saddle bags, whatever needs it

yup about what I do. I like that it automatically winds up like a water hose in storage. but will wrap around the handbars and two helmets two jackets ect

Nope, I never leave my helmet on the bike unsecured. I either take it with me or I use my Pistol gun lock to secure the helmet to my passenger grab rail.

I got this kit for $35

I like the locks alot, you can set your own combination with the cable.

I take everything with me.

You know... for that extra "cool" status factor when walking around or sitting to eat/drink.

(According to my 17 yo daughter, apparently I could benefit from some extra "cool" status at my age.)

 

[WeatherB]

I always take mine with me! I've heard stories of screws getting stolen off bikes, so no thanks to leaving my helmet lying around.

That's funny right there.

But trust me, if you're riding a motorcycle, you're already cool. I remember a friend of mine in high school showed up to a formal event on the back of her dad's Harley - I was like WHOOOOOAAAAA, your dad is soooo cool!!! And while I always thought she was good looking in a "I roll out of bed in the morning and look good" kinda way - not flashy or showy at all, she got a whole lot better looking climbing off the bike and pulling her helmet off...

I only leave it on there when we're stopping at a store or something, sometimes i lock it up sometimes I don't.
