Title: Where do you hang your helmet?
Post by: Vision on July 25, 2024, 06:11:31 PM

Hi guys. kind of a funny question. I don't think the Agility has a perfect place to hang your helmet when parked at home. I usually place it in the basket on the back, which has netting over it and must be undone. 

I'd like to hang it off the handlebar but when using the kickstand, on the throttle is the only option.

Recently I've been placing it on the seat and noticed I'm scratching the covering. Wish there was a post somewhere on the outside like there is below the seat in the storage area.

Just curious, does anybody have a good idea?

You’re talking about where to hang helmet when at home, right? I park bikes in garage and helmet goes in Shoei bag that came with helmet..bag is hung from coat hook on wall, nearby. I find leaving my helmet on the seat, when I’m out, leads to potential drops. I usually take my helmet with me when I’m out, rather than leaving with bike.

Vision, I'm with Hawk, at home it's in a cushioned box which sits in my garage.  When out, I place it under the seat so it's locked away - I appreciate some FF helmets will be too big to allow this (Stig?)

Just a thought, but I'm sure that I read somewhere not to hang a lid by its strap as this impacts on the integrity of the helmet structure?

Whichever helmet I am currently using I place on the bookcase of our bed's headboard.
My wife is concerned that I will do myself an injury should it roll off on my head.
I suggested I wear my spare to bed - just in cases!*

I like to look at it before I go to sleep. (it's nesting nicely on a stack of factory scooter manuals - Burgman, Forza, Piaggio, etc.)

You got a keeper there Stig. No way would my missus stand for that ornament in the bedroom!

Guess I'll just put it in the basket.

Thanks Neil955i for the heads up on hanging by the strap.
