I've never had that issue. The only ones that ever want to touch my helmet are my kids. I'd leave my helmet on a shelf in my office within reach of anyone who enters my office but everyone kept their grubby mits off. I guess engineers respect personal property?

I ride by several bodies of standing water on the way in... my helmet is usually so covered in dead insects when I get to where I'm going that nobody wants to touch my helmet

Funny thing was the guy I had to remind to take his hand off my helmet was either an architect or an engineer.

I bought 3 of those helmet hangers like i saw at the gap i should bring one here so my helmet is up out of the way :thumb:

Mine too!

But at work I keep mine in a bookcase with a folding lid- and before that on the lowest shelf where almost no one could see it. Nobody even tries.

The only time I worry is when I'm at home and the cat or somebody thinks it's okay to just shove it around or place it on the edge of a cabinet. It COST ME $400! WHO's going to pay for it?

So I went in for confession and Father Flattery asked if I wouldn't be more comfortable with him on his side of the confessional....
