Default Open face helmets

Best place i've found to find open faced helmets, vintage or contemporary, is : http://www.openfacehelmets.co.uk/default.aspx

They have a huge selection.

So lets hear it...since there's no helmet lock on these bikes, do you just set it next to it and hope no one steals it?
If you flip your mirrors, you can hang your helmet from them without worrying about it falling off. I only do that if I'm somewhere that I trust nobody will take it from (like a friends house or somewhere I can constantly see my bike from). Anywhere else I carry it.

Actually, I have a large pack and my 3/4 fits in that, also, if you want to pack "stuff" as well, try this pack, has a special compartment which will hold a full face helmet also..:

Here is an idea I recently came up with for securing my helmet. It's a gun lock I got with a Beretta I bought and the cable part fits right through the buckles on the strap. You can secure it in numerous places on the bike.

Why wear anything but a FF if your going to wear a helmet? Granted they are bad @ss looking but i don't wear mine for looks at all. Next will be FF non modular, and WHITE in color. Anything to make me more visible to cagers. Anybody make a highway department florescent green helmet lol?

If i need to secure which i rarely every do i use a el cheapo Wal-mart luggage lock. I lock it to my sissy bar buy running the cable through the D-ring/back rest. Sure a person with dikes could snip and run but where i live not many people for one are looking to steal a helmet and secondly have diagonal side-cut pliers on their person .
