Over 30 posts about where to put a gas cap...

A gas cap holder...Good grief.

In over 50 years of riding I have never had an issue with where to put a gas cap.

Put it on your gloves, on the seat.

Done.

Gloves or gauntlets?
Fingered or fingerless?
On the seat or on the pillion?

This is too funi. A subject matter that never dies.

I put mine between the saddle bag and the bike. With my gloves (gauntlet style [in response to a few posts above]) on top of the gas cap.

When the gloves go on, there is the gas cap.

It is now such a habit, I don't really think much abt it. I am too bz looking around for a nice chick's *** to admire.

Ha! I thought we were done with this subject. It is better than an engine oil debate!

I will have to take a picture. Gloves (Leather, HD brand, normal dude length, size XXL) go between saddle bag and passenger seat or rear fender area, gas cap on top of gloves.

Done.

I think this should be a glove thread.

To you riders with clearly superior intellect who never lost yer gas cap.

You might now grasp that some of us old farts partied way harder than you, had way more fun, for a whole lot longer, and now have barely two braincells to rub together. We lose gas caps. Don’t let it cause your shorts to get bunched.
