Carrying a Helmet (Picking up someone)

[Marmoot]

How do you carry spare helmet when you are picking up someone (say, within 10-20 minutes ride away)?
I'm interested in how sportriders do this.

I can stuff the jacket into my backpack, but I can't figure out how I can carry the helmet safely.

Use duct tape to hold it to the rear tail peice

lol read a thing about SP1's in this book i have " you can attach a small seat to the rear of an SP1, however the bike is designed to be ridden alone.......and FAST"

fast bling bike is no good if you can't use it to pick up chicks!

I tried the helmet-through-elbow but (1) it hindered handling and unsafe for riding, and (2) if I fall off it would be bye-bye-elbow.

Its the only way to carry a helmet. However if we was really worried about handling, would we have a pillion in the first place and its bye-bye if we come off anyhow.

I wear it on my arm, and just a warning lane splitting would be a bad idea while carrying the helmet this way.

Helmets come with a carry bag, use the carry bag

the carry bag is a thin piece of cloth bag that the sewings have come undone in various places......I don't trust that.

So, is the helmet-over-elbow legal? Or would it be classified as unsafe-load?

If it is only a short trip, carry it on ya arm mate.

I dunno if it is or not, I guess it would be?

Fair enough

push the helmet past your elbow onto the top part of your arm. it dosnt affect handling this way. Wont work if youre a chunky sorta lad though

[sunhuntin]

is there no way to strap it to the back? dad has said hes carried a spare lid on the helmet lock, but i cant see how that wouldnt get in the way of your leg. likely safer than over the arm though.

gee i have no idea but will be looking to find out what ppl say

[DMNTD:Me]

Not that I carry one often and when I do it isn't far but I simply use a bag on my back...then stash it(the bag) away under the back cowling.Sorted.

Don't like attempting to do the elbow trick as I found it always dropped forward and caused potential problems and no pillion is worth damage on my bike!

yea. That's also my problem. Not to mention bumping it against the tank and risking dent/chip on that lustrous beautiful Honda Red paint

Bungee net is one alternative. but I'v experienced situation where the helmet tilted to the side and almost fell over (had I not happen to notice it on the rear view mirror) so not really keen on it unless there is no other alternatives.

Ya don't have room under the rear seat for a bag?
Yeah I'd never use that netting stuff as like you I don't want to damage my paint work!
LOL...I think the pillion should be better prepared,would save the bollix eh
