No one secures the neck strap on motorcycles or puts the key in. There is always a motorcycle with a helmet sitting on it with the key inside.

    Similarly but even more nerdy is a car making one swerve on dirt, that requires switching traction control off. Top Gear did a bit on it where they were hired to record a chase scene for a movie, and insisted on the following shot;

    “You have to hold the mode button for ten seconds to turn off Traction Control!”
    cue ten quiet seconds of holding the button

    It's been a while since I rode a motorcycle, but apparently things have changed a lot.

    They may be referring to the motorcycle helmet chin strap.

    Motorcycle helmets stopped using chin straps in the 1960s. The strap goes in front of the neck.

    Are you gaslighting or fucking with me? The retention system for motorcycle helmets still gets referred to casually as chin straps. It goes under your chin, which also happens to be in front of the neck.

    I own and ride a motorcycle. I own and wear a helmet. I call them chin straps. Everyone I know calls them chin straps. Diagrams for helmets in English call them chins straps or, on occasion, the "helmet retention system".

    I honestly don't care what you call them - I'm just trying to be helpful and interpret what I thought you meant. I don't understand why you are being argumentative? Is it a translation thing maybe?
