...I swore I would never own one.
Not looking to rehash arguments, just wanted to share a story that was comical to me and a lot of you may be able to relate to. And yeah, I just got done reading a lot of threads on this topic, and they were quite entertaining.
Ever get a Christmas present that is a total surprise and makes you laugh at yourself?
We were at my parents house over the holidays and I was opening a gift from my mother. I opened up this small box and what should I pull out, a biker wallet on a chain.
I instantly chuckled at myself, because years ago when I first started riding, I swore I would never own one. Now, I'm not sure if it was my subconscious being aware that I said that before, or if I just never thought about it again, but I never really considered getting one. But on this day, I was so appreciative of this gift.
Those of you that use them know what Im talking about reaching around to see if it is still in the pocket, tucking it in a jacket or vest pocket, or dropping it down in a bag only to have to dig for it. Then later thinking, where is my wallet? ****! Then the panic search starts come on, you all have done the panic search for something that really matters!
And, if Im out riding and someone says, Nice wallet chain, poser, all I will have to say is, Damn right! My mommy got it for me. LOL

You know..the only reason I haven't gotten one is to not be harassed about it......but I know it would be the practical thing to do.
I just love the fact that you would be able to come back with that remark!....lol

The "panic search".....lol I do that all the time because I don't carry it in my pocket. I ususlly keep it in my truck console and just take out what I need and stick it in my front pocket. Once I fugure out it's not in there I start the panic search and then try to figure out how long I've been driving around w/out my DL.
“Damn right! My mommy got it for me.” HaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaa

Yeah those chain wallets do have their practical side. I'm the same way, I put "it" in my vest, front pocket, cargo pant side pocket or take my chances with it in my back pocket. I'm been tempted to switch to one as a "Practical" mater, but...with only 2 years of riding behind me...am I ready to walk the walk and use a chain wallet? Maybe I can get someone to buy me one on one of those minor holidays...like presidents day or something.

+1, a good truck, a trusty dog, and my scoot. The main essentials to a good life.
As far as the wallet, used to always wear one back in the day, now I only wear mine on long rides.
