Depends on where I am in the city. Sometimes I'll bring it in with me. The addicts in this town would steal a turd from your toilet bowl if they had the chance. Most of the time though i leave it hanging on the bars. I'd actually feel sorry for the ******* that wants to take my beat up, smelly, sweaty helmet.

 

True that. But unless they get caught in the act I'm afraid they ain't learning any respect.

 

I hang mine over the right side mirror. If I'm worried about it I'll put the strap through the cables and secure it with the d-ring and strap. Keeps it from just being lifted off the bike.

 

I've never heard of anyone stealing a helmet off a bike. I wouldn't really think too many people out there wanna wear someone elses helmet anyway, but I could be wrong. When on short stops I just hang it on right side on the brake lever. At hotels at night I bring it in. Never had a problem with anything coming up missing from my bikes, but could happen. There are a few dirt bags out there no doubt. Ride safe

 

I live in a helmet law state and I can see some jackass teen grabbing my helmet off my bike and driving off for no other reason than they can. My helmet goes in wherever with me. The only exception is when I'm at my church.

 

I usually leave mine on the seat. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why anyone would want my old beat up, sweat soaked helmet. That said, when I leave the bike at work or visiting my Dad at the nursing home downtown, I take it with me.

 

Haven't been here too long have you. I've read maybe a half dozen threads about helmets being lifted off bikes.

Most recent was Mick from Australia in Vegas on a cross country trip.

It happens.

Thumb cuffs
I don't use 'em, but I think they're a great idea (for locking your helmet).

 

I used to use a gun lock. Now I have the Harley lock attached to the crash bar on my Raod king. The Harley lock was $18. I don't use it all the time, but it's there when I need it.

 

I leave it on my mirrors where I can keep an eye on it and my motorcycle.
