Wait you guys put your wallets in your back pocket? I stop doing that 20 years ago. The front pocket is the best place to put it in.

I dont like the feeling of having my right buttcheek touching my wallet. Feels weird. Besides a front bulge is better than a rear for me.

 

Same here, been 20 years. I like the idea of chain for losing. I have briefly considered trying back wallet again, cause I want more pocket room.

 

There just isnt any room left in the front for me….

 

I think I might have relayed this before, but I will say it again. I am 82 years old. My first ride was on a friends Whizzer Pacemaker motor bike when I was 8 years old. I was hooked as soon as I let the clutch out and it carried me away. From there, it was Cushman Motor scooters until I was 14. I got my first Harley, a 1942 "45" flat head, hand shift, foot clutch when I was 14 in 1955. I have had one bike or another ever since. My current ride is my 99 EVO powered Softail Custom. I rode an Iron Head 84 Sportster for 23 years.

So I am an old school biker by default. I am also pretty much of a loner. I enjoy riding by myself. I do ride with others once in a while, but alone most of the time. I do not go to bike nights or do those kind of things. I spend my spare time riding. I wash my bike twice a year whether it needs it or not. I live on .2 miles of gravel to the highway. I have done most all of the service to my bikes that I am capable of including replacing clutch plates, sprockets, stators, cam bearings, and repairing electrical problems. I was fortunate to have a fellow that ran a machine shop that took a liking to me when I had my 42. He did stuff for me, and showed me how to do things, and never charged me a dime. I learned a lot from him. We lived in a small town of 1500 people. I was the only one in town who had a Harley.

I rode to a school track meet 4 miles away, and asked a girl if she wanted to go for a ride. My 42 had one of those big buddy seats on it. She hopped on behind me and we went for a short ride around the town. We have been married for 64 years. So now you know I am an old school biker by default. I will continue to ride as long as I can because I do enjoy riding. Mostly on the back roads around where I live now. No more long rides for me. Summer I ride almost every day. Winter I ride when temps permit.

I wave at everyone. I could care less what you ride.

 

The (lady) PO of my '02 Low Rider (Sig Pic,) was the poster girl for Wallet Biker.
When she bought the bike, she must have stood at the parts counter and if a part fit her Dyna, she just said "yes."
Every accessory, from pricey HD saddle bags, floorboards and windshield to interior wired pullback beefy handle bars and braided cables to chrome and rubber grips and pegs to license plate frames and the ever present "Live to Ride emblem glued to gas cap and battery box and god knows where else.....
She didn't personally install a single thing. (And those Live to Ride glue-ons are a bitch to remove!)

 

Take out the potato.

 

I use a chain wallet and don't care what anyone thinks.

Back around 73 o4 74, was working for a farmer, plowing, planting, etc. One Friday he gave me my paycheck at lunch time since he wouldn't be around at the end of the day. Excited, at lunch time, got on my bike and rode to town. Cashed my check and went to Dairy Queen for lunch. Couldn't do that very often.

Had lunch, went back to work, plowed cotton field the rest of the day. Got off the tractor, filled my bike up (farmer let me fill up on the farm tank) and went to town. Went in a store to buy something, no telling what and my wallet was gone. Don't know if I lost it on the bike or on the tractor but, payday and I was broke.

Next payday, replaced my drivers license and bought a chain wallet. Have carried one ever since except when I had to wear a suit.

 

You can spare yourself the self rightous indignation. I don't think anyone has spoke out against wallets on chains.

 

You can spare yourself the ignorance you display by not responding to posts that you know nothing about.

Dry up and blow away troll.
