Motorcycle Helmet Hooks - Triumph Thruxton & Trident

[@CaptainLeftHook]

That's a pretty good idea in theory but personally I wouldn't put it on my Thruxton. I wouldn't want to fiddle with the seat at the parking lot. Also, there's always some drunken wiseguy who thinks it's a fantastic idea to use the helmet as a toilet. Atleast the helmet hangs at the right height for peeing. I use Helmetlok. The downside of the Helmetlok is that you have to carry it in your pocket. Didn't want to sound too negative. Just a safety aspect.

Fari assessment, but I'll ask, where do you live that a wiseguy would do that?! No one would dare try to use my helmet as a toilet in Texas! Haha. I also have a Helmet Lock, but I keep it under my seat in that little compartment, so either way, I'm taking the seat off to lock up my helmet.

@@tims-garage I live in Finland. Everyone thinks Finland is this small european country between Sweden and Russia and finns are little bit quiet, shy, polite and have good manners. Unfortunately that's not the full truth. I've been riding motorcycles for 20 years and my bike has been sabotaged three times and twice I've caught people sitting on my bike, like we say "cold test riding" the bike. I've had some negative experiences. 15 years ago someone slashed my Kawasaki Mean Streak's Danny Gray "flame" seat. My Thunderbird Storm was scratched. Last year I went to the movies and I parked my Thruxton R in front the movie theatre. There's a restaurant and a bar across the street. When I came back around 10.00 PM the round bar end mirrors were broken (Triumph OEM aftermarket peep mirrors, 80 GBP each). Probably some wiseguy on his way to the bar and desperately trying to impress his friends. I don't trust people all that much anymore. Especially during the weekends. Drugs and alcohol makes people do stupid things. Most of the time I don't leave my helmet behind. Anywhere I go I take the helmet with me. Movies, restaurants and so on. But Helmetlok is a nice addition and I use it every now and then. During the daytime mostly. I've never been to United States or Texas. I hope people there respect other people's bikes more. Or is it the gun laws? F around and get shot. Haha! In Finland all I'm allowed to carry is my jab, cross, hook and uppercut.
