Ya bloody pansy! you're riding around in the cold and wet anyway, whats a little big of soggy under your chin gonna change?
An while you're here dave I want details on those mirrors, I have to get rid of my indies they're driving me nuts.

its not as if it lands in that position after ten pin bowling it at my bike.
If I had a £400+ lid my opinion may be different of course

lol brilliant, I'd love to see someone do that! chucking it down almost like when chuckin keys onto a side table when you get home.

I remember someone putting their helmet on the floor tucked nicely under the bike. There was a rather big downpour of rain and he forgot to move his helmet. Oh how we did laugh when he picked it up and put it on. The water was pouring down the back of his neck as the fabric was squeezed when he put it on.

It's not like I'm going massively out of my way to ensure my lids not full of crap if chucking it on its side as opposed to it's base is pansyish what the hell's neatly looping it round the wuverly lidlock/mirror.

Possible wedding present?

Another problem with leaving your lid on the floor is any passing dogs may be inclined to **** a leg at it...

Gloves on the ground (palms down) lid placed on top

I put my lid over the front brake fluid reservoir.

I chuck mine in the topbox

Mine would probably find it great fun to run off with it

Always on gloves on the ground and the right way up, but with the warmer weather watch out for ants going into your lid. So if my helmet is on grass/earth I usually place it on gloves but up side down.
