Where do you put your helmet?
Jul 23rd, 2010 by Leo
This is probably the easiest way to ruin your expensive helmet: put it down for a second on the seat or a ledge. Even if it’s perfectly stable, a breeze could come knock it over. Well.. you can file this video under “useful ideas”, only I saw this on Motoblog, so I don’t know if you can get it here in the U.S. Helmet spoilers that double as stands. It reminds me of those helmet donuts people use to put their helmets down on a table or the floor in your office… You can check out their website here.
So where is the safest place to put your helmet down for a minute or two? Not on the floor by your feet (it can roll around or get kicked), and not on the tank (although that’s what I tend to do)… Probably your best bet is to hang it on a mirror. Got a better idea? Share the wealth in the comments!

Generally hang it on the lower or rear pegs by the straps. Hopefully, the helmet would survive a 1 foot drop.
I’ve never dropped my helmet in 16 years.
On my head. That is what it is made for.
So if you had to put your helmet down for just a minute (not long enough to justify putting it on the helmet lock) without the risk of dropping it – would it be safe to say that the mirrors are one of the better places?
