I've put it on the RH mirror, put it on the sissy bar, and set it in the seat. Very rarely take it with me. If I'm worried about it (falling off), I have a small padlock that I clamp to something (mirror or sissy bar) to keep it secured (ie keep someone from knocking it off or picking it up just to be annoying). My helmets are not nice enough for someone to really want to keep/use...but kids are still kids... (even when they grow up).

I have ISO hand grips and you can get bar ends that have helmet locks in them. That way we have two, one for mine and one for my wife's helmet!
This photo was taken last year but it shows the grip ends. They have a key that goes in the end and you put your D ring from your helmet up inside.

I take it with me. Is it not the most important part of your riding gear? I wanna make sure it is nice and safe so it will protect my giant noggin.

I take it with me because if I leave it on the bike in the summer it cooks in the sun (black FF).

I paid enough for the bloody thing, it's coming with me. Like Skid Mark said, we can't ride without 'em up here so I'd be stuck waiting for a delivery...

Quick in and out, it stays on the grip for no other reason that if I don't see it, it may not go on my head when I hop back on. Happened to me last year. Used the helmet lock while shooting a job. Packed up, and rode to my next job. Wasn't until I was stopped at a light after about 4-5 miles of riding, some highway, when I went to check my hair tie only to realize that there was no helmet on my head. Helmet was still on the lock though, but pretty beat up from the wheel.
If I'm away from the bike for awhile, it either comes with me or I lock it. Depends on where I am at the time.

Even if my bags didn't cover it, I'm not sure I'd hang my plastic helmet that close to the muffler. I still haven't figured out why they put it there.
Savage Greg moved his to the front of the bike, which I liked. I might try that some time. Meanwhile, I just carry the helmet with me.

When I bought a rifle it came with a padlock with a long & flexible loop. It is long enough to go around the handlebars, between the risers, & thru the D-rings on the helmet. I bet you could getchya one O them at the local gun sellin spot.

I hang it on the right mirror. I use a gun lock that has a cable. About $5 at Walmart. Nevers falls off and it's always there when I come back.

I only had one helmet taken once ever. Most people don't F with bikes and bikers in general in my experience.

I have a windscreen, so I padlock by the D ring to one of the supports. If they cut it, it's useless. Most of the time I have the mini cover on the bike if I'm going to be away from it for a while; and that covers the locked up helmet too. Pros are gonna get your stuff, nuff said. The rest is to make it harder for the amateurs and mischief makers.
