I just carry mine about while at college. Just make sure its somewhere safe during lesson, where it wont get damaged.

You could always take it to school and ask to store it in the staff room or somewhere similar, like the grounds keepers office.

But when you need to carry your lid, unfold the secret compartment and:

I've had one for about 2 years, maybe more. Lug it about every day and it's still going strong. Recommended. Thumbs Up

The bag bit holds all your stuff - has a big bit, 2 side pockets and a little front pocket.

The helmet bit is like a mesh bag, it folds away inside a pocket at the bottom when you're not using it (also useful for extra shopping).

Fortunately at our college after a lot of lobbying with the student forum representative we managed to get a mini room allocated just for Motorcycle Kit. Thumbs Up If something like that fails keep it somewhere safe in the common room or Staff room. Thumbs Up

I carry my helmet everywhere in university, and everywhere generally. F*ck leaving it with the bike, some little baw bag will probably spit in it or hit it or something.

My scepticism is of course present because I have a flip-able lid so I can't really use the "secure it to the bike" method Sad

Leaving it wide open for people to put stuff in/pee in Sick , or have the straps cut on it and it been removed from the bike.

unfortunately not a safe option to leave it with the back in this day and age.

Carrying it around is the only way to guarantee it's safe. Never leave it around with my mates, one of them came up to me once and admitted he tried to hotbox it when i was sleeping. If you can stash it safely in your form room at school/college,then that's the safest - make sure it's locked so no feef or nob can obtain it and do all sorts of devious deeds on it. Bendy's knox backpack is pretty well recommended, although there are other similar products like it out there, nothing's as good as the knox for its price - read RiDE or TWO, they all agree.

Depends where i'm leaveing it...

Uni use the elmit lock, tis safe there... if its raining it comes with me...
Secure car park elmit lock again, especially usefull when my girlfriends with me, carrying two elmits arround is a bigger pain! (byclcle lock through the luggage rack)

Supermarket, in the trolley (with coat and all the other gear)

Um... now i think about it usually take it with... not an expensive helmet but dont exactly want to loose it either Sad

We leave ours at the reception on the way in. I just put it on the counter and they put it away sometime. Then they just get it back for me whenever i want to go.

I'm a lucky c*nt, my mum works in one of the offices behind reception at my college so i just dump my helmet and wet waterproof trousers if its been raining with the lovely ladies behind reception and they dump it on here desk. Thumbs Up But when i go to uni i'll prob carry it everywhere with me.

Ask if you can store it in a staff room or behind reception or care takers office or something.
