On the Dyna - an empty prescription drug bottle (they are water tight) and the bottle is in the fork bag. On the Ultra, a zip-lock bag in the tour pack. On the wife's Sportster, a zip-lock bag in the saddlebag.

For those of us with bags or Tour Paks, I picked uo a couple of those nice blue nylon pouches that Ruder ins gives out at bike events. Works well for my cards.

Wallet. If the bike is stolen I don't want them to have any paperwork for it and I also don't want anyone to get my garage door opener and the address it opens the door to.

It blows my mind how often this comes up and how many people need assistance trying to figure out where to keep a couple credit card size pieces of paper (wallet? Or maybe your purse, if that's what you prefer to carry). I'm all about helping guys out here, but really?

So where do you usually keep your paperwork?

In my wallet, along with my driver's license. Same for my car registration and insurance.

The size of the documents seems to vary by state and by insurance carrier. Sounds like some states and insurance companies provide convenient sized cards to carry. In my state the registration paper is a rather awkward size and unlike my previous insurance carrier, the proof-of-insurance from my current carrier is two letter-sized pages.

I fold everything up and put them in a registration wallet I got at the auto parts store and keep it in in my saddlebag.

Before I got my fork bag I put them in a zip lock back in my battery compartment, then once I had my fork bag broke into and two pair of oakley's stolen (totally my fault) I put it back in the battery compartment.

I'm confused about the part of your post that I bolded. How do you get stuff ripped off and claim it was totally your fault? Did you ask to have them stolen? Did you grab the perps hands and force them to break into your bag and pull out the glasses? If that was the case they weren't stolen, you gave them away. If that wasn't the case.....it wasn't your fault.

You could have neon signs advertising and pointing at your bag with the Oakley's or whatever in it and at best only be partially at fault, even if you were in an area known for thievery. There is no excuse for lifting someone else's **** period. They knew it was wrong when they did it or they would have tried to do it in front of your face, even then 9 times out of 10 they still know its wrong.

I hate it when someone touches my stuff without asking.....its not cool at all. Ok, venting off.
