i'm REALLY absent-minded but usually for me it's just forgetting the garage door opener (in a shared one in apt building) or forgetting to strap my helmet til a few blocks in, heheh

I always caught myself before I leave the driveway.

The thing I forget sometimes is earplugs. On any drive more than about 10 minutes, I have them. The wind blast is so loud and constant that it easily causes wind damage, and I do like my hearing.

Don't you keep your helmet near your bike? I put mine in the tailbox. After I ride I put the helmet on the bike to dry out before locking it in the tailbox again. If you really really have a problem remembering your helmet, put the key to the bike with the helmet.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150

Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers

Lock the thread, better yet delete it... we are scaring off the young people again :lol: eggman is going to get pulled over by the police and then when asked where is your helmet he will reply 'don't I have it on?' Then that will be the last we hear from eggman.

You all make me feel so much better.

I stick to a routine before riding, starting with jeans, boots, phone, wallet, jacket, helmet, gloves, then key.

As an old cycle racer, it's second nature for me to wear a helmet and I feel really strange if I get on the bike without one. Similar to wearing a seat belt in my car.

My first Mini in 1967 didn't come with them so I fitted them myself. I believe the Mini was one of the first cars sold in Oz with mounting points for belts.

My memory problems are much more severe, such as watching a football match, and 12 hours later forgetting who won.
