    right, im possibly (for possibly read definately) being silly, but whats the
    smartest way to make sure that a spare helmet in the top box doesnt get
    flung about to buggery every time i go on a commute into work etc.

    cheers

    a) Get the same size head as me.

    b) Put the helmet in an Givi E460 topbox which is a snug fit.

    c) Fasten up the topbox's elasticated straps.

    d) (Optional) Use a helmet bag to protect the paintjob.

    Foam, innit. Nice big block of it either side (and above/below
    perhaps) to stop the lid bashing about.

    You'd be amazed what you can get in a topbox with the use of a few bits
    of elastic with hooks on the ends :)
    Try growing two heads and wearing the spare one ;-)

    I carry a Belstaff oversuit, stuffed into the bumbag, and a wooly jumper in
    my topbox. This seems to be quite an effective shock absorber in my Givi
    E46 topbox. Although, if it rains or gets cold then the helmet would bounce
    around I suppose.

  14. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "Oist"
    Perks are good in your job, then?

    So you want to put *your* helmet in *her* box without it flopping
    around? Unfortunately I think I get the picture now.

  18. I had someone elses bladder in my box last week. I even phoned Kay to
    tell her.

    It isn't every day you can say "I've just picked up someone's bladder
    and stuck it in my box"

    That's a bit like my day, as I was also rubbed up....

    ....the wrong way by several time wasting clowns and a bunch of
    Americans.
