If I were out on a Friday night and someone did something stupid and I saw their helmet sitting there, I’d piss in it. I think I’m just going to always keep mine with me. ---

for me, it was situational. i didn’t ever want to be that guy, but i’m also not content leaving a 500 dollar helmet laying around. at ecc, people left their shit on their bikes all the time. i’d usually leave my jacket on the seat and my helmet locked on the bike. at work i’d usually take it inside with me. you have a nice helmet alex, so i wouldn’t leave that shit laying around if you’re going to be away from the bike for a long time. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > i KNOW but that doesnt make that lock any less of a waste of money not to mention ONE more thing you have to carry on the bike 😉 well there is no way to lock mine unless im doing something wrong… its just a fabric loop that hangs off the seat… aka you can just undo the strap of my helmet and walk away lol… ---

So get a cable and lock it up. Problem solved. You can get cable from Home Depot, crimp both ends and make your own. EDIT - or you could buy a snowboard lock. The ones with retractable cables. Like the ones posted already. They are $12 ---

> [@almostBrett](#): > > well there is no way to lock mine unless im doing something wrong… its just a fabric loop that hangs off the seat… aka you can just undo the strap of my helmet and walk away lol… r6 right? you’re doing it wrong… the d-link in the helmet hooks onto the underside of the seat or subframe (where the seat latches) and then the seat closes on top of it and the helmet is secured. ---

or… just put a little hook under there and have it welded to the subframe (in the trunk of te bike) it would do the same thing. ---
