Learned early in my military career to keep wallet in front pocket.

Particularly overseas, pick pockets.

I also noticed even as a young kid, my back and butt felt better. Back in those days, no debit cards, cash. When you had a pile of cash in your wallet it was a bit discomforting along with your can of chaw in the other.

About 25 years ago, or maybe even more, I started having back issues and my physical therapist told me to never, never carry your wallet in your back pocket because it throws your spinal alignment off and causes back issues when you sit on it. I've kept my wallet in my front pocket ever since and have never lost it.

Look at the bright side, we could be talking about chains.

I understand Wallet Biker vs Biker Wallet. It is was a term used by some, I guess.I will state this, while I never used the term Wallet Biker is an oxymoron. I can see Walllet Owner or Wallet Enthusiast, or even Wallet Rider. There has never been an actual Wallet Biker.

"Wallet Rider" it is then!

Wallet Rider - Some one who buys a bike(s), may or may not ride many miles per year, doesn't wrench or modify much and typically pays to have someone else do the maintenance.
Waller Enthusiast - Some one who takes pride in their wallets and various wallet securing systems.

"Wallet Biker" is someone who buys a new motorcycle and contributes to the success of Harley-Davidson company. Without them, Harley-Davidson would go out of business.
"Wallet Bikers" are also the source of used bikes that "Real Bikers" purchase.

For the love of dog, Harley Davidson is not going out of business.

SMDH

That hen talk rates up there with the rounders nonsense.

“I own a Harley, been my dream/goal/just cause but you know what? I can’t wait for them to go out of business so I am left with junk”
