5 Biker Hacks To Ensure That You Never Lose Your Helmet Again!

 Besides the motorcycle itself, the costliest thing that you have with you while you are on a motorcycle trip is perhaps the helmet! Good quality branded motorcycle helmets are not cheap and if you chose a helmet with a lot of safety features and other comfort bells and whistles then chances are high that you might have paid a premium for it. Therefore, it becomes really important that you guard the helmet and prevent it from being stolen. Also, since you cannot ride a two-wheeler without a helmet without being stopped by the police, it becomes even more important to ensure that the helmet stays safe and available for use at all times. Here are 5 smart biker hacks using which you can keep your helmet safe and prevent the risk of theft. 

Always carry the helmet with you 

The simplest safest and most cost-effective way of protecting your motorcycle helmet is to carry it with you when you are at the end of your ride. Nonchalantly take the helmet in your arms and walk off to wherever you are going. That way you never lose sight of the helmet and it is always ready for use hanging by your arm! In most cases nobody will stop you from taking your helmet with you inside a mall or an office, but in case they do, try the following tips. 


Park the bike in a visible spot 


If for some reason the security personnel at an office or a shopping mall does not want you to have the helmet with you at all times, the second-best thing to do is to park the motorcycle in a clearly visible area that you can see from inside the office/mall. This becomes very important especially after sunset when the risk of helmet theft increases by a lot. If you do not have a proper parking space to place your motorcycle, make sure to keep it in a place where other people can see the bike clearly. Public visibility is a known deterrent of criminal activities.  


Store it safely in a cloak room/helmet room 


At most hotels and restaurants, you can keep your motorcycle helmet and other riding safety gear such as jackets and gloves safely in a cloakroom. Are you travelling by motorcycle? If that is the case, find out places where they have cloakrooms (or any other similar facility) where you can keep your helmet safely and enjoy the meal without worrying about it getting stolen.  


Request gatekeepers to hold on to your helmet


Another way to ensure that your helmet stays safe is to ask the gatekeepers and security guards at the gates to hold on to your helmet for a little while you do your business. This comes in handy especially when you are not allowed to carry the helmet inside and you are not quite sure about keeping the helmet on the motorcycle itself. 


Invest in a helmet security lock 


Helmet security locks and helmet security guards are motorcycling accessories that are easily available online as well as at motorcycle accessories shops all around the world.  These are relatively cheap and very effective at security affixing the helmet onto the motorcycle that completely solve the problem of carrying the helmet around or asking somebody for help. This is a one-time installation process and once you have it on the bike you don't have to think about it twice. In most cases these are built of good quality plastics or even metal so you can rest assured that your helmet isn’t going anywhere!
