Default Off the bike w/ helmet on

Is it just me, or does walking around with a helmet on look like you rode the short bus (no offense intended toward S-H-O-R-T B-U S R-I-D-E-R-S)? The foot dragger thread got me to thinking about this, and it seems to me that foot draggers are more likely to leave the helmet on. I'm thinkin' the longer they leave their feet down, the farther from the bike they leave the helmet on. I've seen people in stores with a helmet still on.

I have noticed, cops like to do this too. Curious minds want to know.

If I'm running into do two minutes of business say at a bank it stays on. The day I START draggin my feet that's when I do trikes and I don't do trikes, no offense to trike riders. Be sides the lady bank tellers like reading the stickers.

Tom here. Don't ever try to go in the bank with a full face helmet on. I was dropping off a quick deposit once, and left my ff helmet on. Immediately I was rushed by the security guards asking me to remove my helmet. At that point in time I think I was on the short bus.

I have a flip up helmet. Just raise the jaw piece and have not had a problem even in the bank. I take it off if I'm going to be in a store for more than just a few minutes.
