Mine started as a fashion thing in 1997 in 11th grade. Now that I'm a rider it's become much more function.

 

I`ve heard that one of them "Chain Drive Wallets" means you`re Hardcore....

 

Got dumped off the bike one time by a cager on a cell phone. Hit on my left hip/butt area, tore my pants nearly off, destroyed my cell phone, and stripped the wallet out of my back pocket. The cop who responded to the crash found the wallet on the curb about 20 feet away. Since then, everything in my pockets has gone into the saddle bag, and since I got the Ultra, into the tourpak.

Plus, remember the words of Jeff Foxworthy: If your dog and your wallet are on a chain, you just might be a redneck.

 

have chain wallet will wear. don't care how/what others judge by it!
funny the things people will say on the net but not in person.

 

I agree. I have had my chain wallet for at least the past twenty years and use it everyday. I don't give a rat's a$$ what others think. Those who worry what others think are posers. Get out of the way poser, I'm comin through.

 

I kinda went that route, Ive been wearing a chain on my wallet for over 15 yrs, got my first one when I was 5. I bought two welded chains 2 ft long each, for a dog (Because they were welded and girls kept barking at me when they saw me...woof woof...) Hacksawed threw the end of one and made my own 4 ft chain. Its one of the first things that set off alarms, but not the only thing. Ive gone to the airport and courthouse and I could probably sneak a weapon in if I wanted to, my boots, chain, rings, bracelet (an old Aztec/Mayan bracelet, with a warrior put, Silver and some other metals that havent been catagorized) and my belt. If I can put a picture or two up when I get home I will. But I like the way my chain is.

I don't know about being a poser or whatever, but I bought mine about 10 years ago because I liked it, not because I thought it made me look like this or that, I just liked it.
We went to 6 Flags over Texas theme park (bought my FXDWG later that day after we left the park coincidentally) and when I walked in the security dick stopped me and had to measure my chain and told me in his toughest out-of-shape rent a cop voice that if it had been any longer they wouldn't have been able to allow me to carry it in because they would have considered it a weapon. I looked at that dumb bastard and laughed at him. I know he was just doin his job, but to suck in the gut and talk to me like he was tough...damn that was funny. That's a great way to get me to come back there lol.

 

Can't leave a wallet : on your seat, on the counter, on the gas pump, behind on the bike, in your other jacket or on the road after it slips out if you have the ***** on a chain.

Took a 40ft slide off the back on impact at 70 mph on my backside and the chained in wallet took the brunt of the abrasion.

Usually wear Dickies carpenter jeans and put my chained wallet in the pocket on the outside of my left thigh.

Pose this.
