I find it uncomfortable to sit on my wallet in the car, at work, and on the motorcycle. I generally keep mine in my breast pocket of my jacket when I ride - in the center console when I drive, and at work I usually put it in my desk drawer.

I pass through too many airports to carry a chain wallet. It would be a hassle.

I rode for years with a chain wallet on an EG. Now on my RG the chain rubs the fuse box cover and almost riuned the paint before I caught it.

I would much rather endure the ire of the fashion police (I don't care anyway) than the agony of a lost wallet.

Chain wallet = peace of mind. IMHO.
Same here. Lost mine one too many times. Pain in the *** getting new license, cancelling credit cards, lost my registration, and about $100. Never again. I'd put a logging chain on it before I lose another wallet.

Default Chain Wallet rules

I use the chain wallet and keep the other end of the chain around my Johnson so I have ready access to both, really helps in cold weather when I have multiple layers on and I know it if anyone tries to steal my wallet (ouch) ;-)))

I looked everywhere,finally I noticed I had missed my pocket and the wallet was at the bottom of my rain suit.What a SCARE,I guess I will need the do rag and fingerless gloves to go with my chain wallet now!!

+1. I use a chain wallet all the time, riding or not, for 30+ years.

Don't like the chain hanging so I stuff it in the front pocket.

Truckers use them also to prevent losing wallets climbing in and out of their rigs.

Poser? - Who cares?
