Default Storage on a Katana

I recently got a 96 Katana 750 and it my first bike, and yes I have taken the MSF and all that. OK I'm a noobie so these might seem like dumb questions but here goes:

1) When you stop and park your bike (like going into McDonalds or something) what do you do with your helmet? I know the bike has a helmet lock, but its inconvenient, and my helmet does not have D rings. To date I have been carrying it with me, but it seems like no one else does. It also seems like people just leave it on the bike unlocked. What do you do with your gloves?

2) I only go for rides that last a few hours, maybe half a day or so, thus I don't need to take a lot with me. However there are times when I would like to bring something along, or purchase something during my ride. What do you recommend for storage? It would be nice if it was secured to the bike so I could walk away from it for a short while without having to worry about it getting stolen. Ideally, in the summer I would like to store my jacket in there so as not have to wear it while I'm not riding.
