Around my local rural area? Hanf it on the handlebars.

Larger Metro areas I use the helmet lock on the engine guard.

RE: Leave your helmet on the bike?

I used to leave hanging on the mirror...but after getting stolen I changed my attitude.

I bought a new helmet and drilled a small hole in the back of the helmet...when I park I hang the helmet on the sissybar and lock it with a pad lock on the sissybar.

I just tuck my 1/2 helmet under my arm and take it inside with me.

Home area in mid Missouri, leave it on the handle bars.
Visiting Kansas City or Saint Louis- carry it and the bike in with me!

RE: Leave your helmet on the bike?

Maybe putting a fake vomit thing on the ground first then set the helmet over it would discourage theives.

I'll have my RG by Monday and I'll let ya know where I put my helmet.

I'm too excited to sleep.
