I just put mine on the ground next to my bike. Not many people want a pink helmet and if they do,...well I am only out $20 for the cheap peice of crap.
I'm withAmy... but mine cost $25...

I likeit ratty... and dirty...no one has wanted it yet...

I mustsay though... it doesn't go with my new$1150paint job on the bike... go figure...[8D]

I guess that paint job will make you another (rich) "custom" sporty driver in Zeb's book.
By the way Zeb, I bought the bike as shown in the sig pic below, in showroom condition, for the expensive price of $6300 and just under 3000 miles on the odometer.

I've got one of the over priced HD helmets, and I leave it sitting on the ground by the bike or hanging from the bars... I locked to the sissy bar the first few weeks I had the bike, but then got tired of taking the time...

no one in nh would steal a helmet as it seems no one wants to wear one. I just put over the right mirror if i'm just gonna be gone for a moment. Any longer, i'll take it with me.
