   I've posted this before, but I tie a cord to my helmet and kick it to the 
front of the cockpit where I have a lot of room which is rarely utilized. The 
other end of the cord is knotted and tucked under my foam seat. This way I 
don't even know the helmet is there unless I need it. Then it is simply 
reeled in and untied and ready for use. This system has worked well for me 
for a number of years.
