I've got a couple questions I thought you folks could help me with. The first one is a parking question. When you go to a restaurant or a shopping center, do you just park in a standard parking space amongst all the cages? I feel like some one won't see my bike or will be careless and knock it over as they're pulling in/out. A friend asked me why I don't park on the sidewalk. Is this acceptable, rude, or risky? I'm sure it depends, but anyone care to share how/where you park your bike. Any tips.
Secondly, and I know this is a common question, how do you secure you're helmet when you leave your bike? I don't mind taking my helmet in with me, but sometimes if the weather is nice and I'm somewhere familiar, I wouldn't mind leaving it locked to the bike. I know my SV650 has some bars underneath the tail that would allow you to run a cable through and through your helmet. Are there helmet cable locks on the market or would you just use a thin bicycle cable lock?
Thanks for helping out the newb. I've been having a great time on the bike since I got it a month ago.
