Does anyone here use the peg under the seat (4TX) to lock there skid lid too and do you ever get a lid full of rain when you return?

Is there any other sneaky lid lock options I've not caught on to yet?

The reason I ask is I've been dragged into jury service in a couple of weeks time and notice in the guide you can't take lids into the court, I've never consicered leaving my lid on the bike before but I've spotted a potential bike parking spot right beside the court with a camera overlooking and a railing I can lock the bike to.

Either that or it'll be the train and pushbike but TDM would be more convenient.

Guard that lid! Someone will have it as a momento of court.

 

Seriously, I think member Riggers made himself a secure helmet strap on his TDM900, but I have no pics. He may have a few shots to share. Worth a try?

I am guessing the best bet is a boike type chain around the actual helmet rather than just secured by chin strap
.
As the person whos gonna wanna nick it prolly dont care if it has working strap on it or not.

Gib it to judge, rozzersbor defend ant to keep an eye on
.....or just keep it on..tint down for snoo.

I stick mine on the mirror and use a bicycle lock to attach it to the handlebars.

No topbox, I'm veering towards pushbike and train option at least for the first day till I suss it out.

Cheers for the input chaps.

I took a book as we just sat around waiting for someone to plead innocent. The whole experience was rather deflating.
