Where do you leave your helmet ?

[Goat_Herder]

I always take it with me wherever I go.  I am afraid that, if someone steal it, I'd stuck there.  Can't ride home without a helmet in Washington State.

One time I left on a handle bar , while I pulled over for a smoke, It feel and got few dings . There after its either with me or on ground .

I use the under the seat cable lock thats there for locking up your helmet. Never had a problem with it being stolen or damaged by sun, rain or vandals and I live in Chicago. I'm pretty certain these helmets are designed to withstand temperature fluctuations over extended periods of time without being ruined otherwise you got yourself a cheap ass helmet.

The cable that comes with the bike is pretty flimsy, so I bought a thicker cable for bicycles and it works like a champ. I even lock up two helmets (mine and my wife's) when we want to walk around hands free. No problems yet

I have used a disc lock reminder cable to wrap around the chin bar twice and hung the helmet off the passenger footpeg on the right hand side of the bike while the disc lock itself is locked through the triangle of the footpeg mounting bracket/rearset....this is in situations where I am away from my bike for like an hour or a short time....more than an hour generally speaking, it comes with me, like when I am going in to work...

I always take mine with me.  Particularly at work, because (1) we have a minor problem with vandalism in our parking garage, and (2) one of my coworkers likes to grab it off my desk and go walking around with it to scare people.  I'd hate to deprive him of that small joy. 

[sgollapalle]

It goes where I go. On short stops, I don't even take it off my head. Like, if I have to go for a leak and get going. I actually got myself a hydration pack so I can drink from the pipe without the hat coming off...

[Spidey]

I leave it at the discotech.

[faolan01]

I usually carry mine with me, but I also have a 3' cable lock that I keep coiled up on one of the grab handles. Anytime I don't want to carry my helmet with me I uncoil enough of the cable to loop it around the chin bar and lock it back to the frame. The cable is long enough that if I don't want to carry my jacket I can run it up one of the sleeves to lock the jacket to the bike as well.

I'm digging your motogadget gauge. The helmet, not quite as much.

[DarkMonster620]

Neither my Nolan X-Lite 801 Checa Replica or my Shark RSI Fusion stays on the bike, where I go, they go . . . ! ! !

Nuff said  ! ! ! !

I treat it like my wallet or checkbook. It never leaves my sight. Like a woman and her purse I never take my eyes off it. I feel the same way about my bikes... I always try to park them in the safest spot I can find or where I can see them. Can never do that 100% of the time but I try as often as I can. The helmet is always in my hand or within reach. I hate thieves and destructive punks! They're everywhere.

same.  If I can't get to it within a couple steps it's in my hand or near me.  The exception of course is when I'm somewhere private.

For other situations... example, went on an overnighter with some buddies and we stopped in Havasu for lunch.  I locked my jacket and my helmet to my bars with this:

ran the cable through a jacket arm and the helmet locked it to the bars between the clamps and kind of wrapped it up  on the tank so it wouldn't go anywhere.
