The only place I leave my helmet on my bike is at the shop. Everywhere else, I take it in with me.

I either put my FF Modular with speakers and boom mike in my tour pack if possible, if not I take it with me.
My other half shell is left on the bike and if someone was to steal it I'd have a good reason to replace it (it doesn't fit very well).

In my lifetime, I've had ONE helmet (a 3/4 that my brother bought for my birthday) stolen in the early '70's and it was in a fairly secure facility where I was working.

Same here. Not having anyone walk off with my Moto 3. At the parking structure where I work I see so many bikes with expensive helmets just sitting on the bars or seat. Don't know how people do it.

Why would someone steal a helmet? I never give it a 2nd thought and mine usually hangs on the bike, over a mirror or if I am really paranoid over my GPS. Then again, I don't wear high dollar lids so?!?!?!

But this has what to do with locking saddlebags???

Don't know but I've "lost" two over the years. The last one somebody took and the hid it thinking I wouldn't go looking for it. Damn SFB didn't even need it, just wanted to fuggg with somebody.


I tell ya, there's no honor out there, never was really. I mean who do you think steals most of the bikes every year? Damn sure isn't non-riders!I'm just sayin'

It only needs to happen once. I doubt the ******** stealing them actually use them or sell them. They probably do it just to be an *******. I wear a Shoei Neotec with a SENA 10U installed. It goes with me when I leave the bike.

I just installed the removable tourpack kit so now it looks like I will be carrying my helmet every time I leave the bike too.

Florida is, for the most part, a non helmet state so nobody steals them here. I just unclip my SENA receiver but leave the mike and base on my helmet turned away from prying eyes. I've never heard of anybody stealing helmets, those of us without tourpacks and bags just leave them on the handlebars or mirrors.
