I take it with me at work, hang it carefully on the mirror ( be careful setting the helmet over the mirror as you can easily damage the inner foam compromising the integrity of the helmet) for a short stop where I am close to the bike, lock it if I am going into a restauraunt or store.AMA member # 224227

Duff,
Remove the seat while standing on the clutch side of your bike. Look down at the seat area, you will see a metal tab on the frame rail, just behind the gas tank, that is one of the D-ring hangers used to lock your helmet with the seat in place. There are two on your bike.AMA member # 224227

Yep i too learned the hard way that a seat isn't the best place to put your lid.
Brand new lid - $275.00
watching the wind blow it off the seat - scratched paint
lesson learned - priceless
now i usually take it with me if i'm staying a while. If i stop for gas or a bite to eat, i usually just hang it off the mirror, and keep my eye on it in case anyone is lookinf for a freebie

I put it in my locked topcase (locked to the bike). If I stay for a long time, I take the topcase with me... Before I had the topcase I always took it with me when I left the bike out of sight.
And yeah, never on the seat. That was the first thing my instructor taught me.

If I am away from the bike I usually take my helmet with me. On occasion I will use the underseat helmet lock, but only if it is a relatively safe area and I am not too far away. If I am hanging around the bike I will hang my helmet from the passenger foot peg. I do not like leaving it on the ground and the only time my helmet has even been dropped was when it fell off of my side m

Originally posted by fulcrumI do different things depending on the occasion:
Rest stops - normally leave it hangin over a mirror on the bike. There are normally quite a few bikes at the places I stop and everyone here seems to look out for each other. Also the bike is normally in sight.
Shops - Hmmm... if it is some little craft community on a ride through the hills I'll lock it to the bike an wander. If it is a local shopping mall I take it with me (although I do normally drive to the mall - the closest one doesn't have specific bike parks).
