I don't keep my wallet in my back pocket. I don't like sitting on it. I broke my back in 1991 my low back and neck will get to hurting after the first 100 miles or so.

I don't even own a wallet.... money clip and cellphone go in pockets, jacket on my body or rolled and strapped to handlebars. Tool bag on lower uprights, fork bag for extra glasses, etc. When on trips, I use a Kuryakyn Grand Roll Bag on the bars. Nothing else needed. No saddlebags or sissy bar bags (no sissy bar). If it doesn't fit, I don't need it!

I have a Dyna lowrider but for any trip I have to use my Bagger. I use the Road Glide were I can pack Leathers, shorts, change of shoes, cold drinks, a little food, spare chair, tent, some towels, sweater, make up for the little lady. Then I could all ways hook a trailer up to the back of the bike for a little more room.

Mm I put it in my saddlebags, on the old sporty I'd roll it up and bungee it to the sissy bar or put it in my sissybar bag. .
I like the bungee cording it to the bars
Wallet and Cellphone in my pants pockets unless I have chaps on.
Wallet in my front right and cellphone in front left. RK key in my front pocket. House/Truck Keys have a hook and are hooked to a belt loop and rest in my back pocket.

a fella on the interstate outside Sturgis couple of years ago had his jacket on TOP of his hard saddlebag. You know where I'm goin....... He was laying face down on the road ( I thought he was dead ) and his ol lady screaming to do something. Somebody called 911.
A State Trooper asked me to help move the bike off the road. Bike wouldn't budge an inch. WTF???!!!??? We got to lookin' and his jacket was jammed between the swingarm and tire.
He eventually "came back" and was carted off in an ambulance.
Moral of story............ Don't have nothin' flappin' around on bike.

you go riding in some places ...it'll be 100 + degrees during the day and you'll be freezin your a$$ off at night. You'll have wished you had brought the jacket along with you. Of course I am talking about longer riders.. If your a bar hopper town driver then .. why would you need it when it's hot.
