hm, in a couple of decades of daily riding with a full face helmet, i have found that it is best just to take the helmet with me. work, restaurants, bars, dates, and whatever else, i can usually find a decent clean place to stash the helmet.

the bars i frequent usually have helmet racks.

its not a big deal.

Thnx
I never take it off. just walk around with it on.

It's all good. I agree that there's most likely an abundance of "aquired " helmets on ebay real cheap.

I just stick it on the mirror or hang it from the bars.....not too worried about it.

The bigger question is what do you do with your heavy leather jacket you put on to ward off the morning chill when you get to your destination and its 85 degrees out?.....
