If you have highway/crash bars - can get the HD helmet lock for ~$19. I know my bike's not a dyna, but the cheap HD locks works for me & I've crammed two FF helmets onto one lock. Sucks to hear about your brain bucket getting lifted - there are real "model citizen's" in this world that have nothing better to do than mess w/other people's stuff. Just have to figure - their day will come...

 

What's a "helmet"?

 

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

If my $60 or $40 helmet is with me, I leave it. When I have my $285 full face, I ALWAYS bring it with me.

Never underestimate a thief. Too bad you weren't there when he was picking it up.

 

take it with me most the time..but im bad about leaving it on the bars when i run in somwhere QUICK.. after hearing that wizzin in it story i might have to take it with me everytime

 

It sits on the seat. What's funny, is that I've probably spent more for the stickers that are on the helmet than I have on the helmet.

 

never really thought about it. all the sportbikes and metrics I have owned in the past all had rider and passenger helmet locks built into the bikes.

 

At a local stop/hang I hang it on the footpeg. In a transient public lot like that of an Applebees or "Gentlemans Club" etc... it comes with me.

 

I use a set of S&W handcuffs. I run one end through the D-ring(s), and the other end clamped (tightly) around the handle bars. If I have the wife with me, I pass the chain through the sissy bar and run each end through the D-rings so that each helmet is on either side of the sissy bar. Works great, and I don't think too many A-holes low enough to boost a bucket have a handcuff key on them...

 

i either use a gun lock or bring it in with me, either that or toss it in a buddies bag... i have actually been looking at some of the helmet locks, they make some cool ones for the down tubes that i think i am going to get

 

One of the editors of Hot Bike was blowing off steam in the writupes. I guess someone jacked his helmet when he was inside somewhere and when he came out, of course no helmet. So he said well I am only a few miles away from home and he rode home. 1/2 mile from his house he gets pulled over and blasted with a ticket for no helmet. He said I explained to officer what happened and got no sympathy. lost a helmet and gained a BS ticket!! He was pissed.... Carry mine with me, people are stupid and will cut the strap off a helmet not realizing it ruins it.
