Kinda funny the wallet biker thing came up in conversation last night. Stopped in Sturgis during my travels and the town was literally dead now trailer week is over . Good God never seen such a shameless monument to targeted naked commercialism ever.

Having a beer BSing with the old gal at bar she dropped the wallet bikers comment, bout fell off the stool laughing.

I know this thread is about making fun of perceived posers, but I always thought of those chained long wallets as "trucker's wallets"

never had a need or want for a long wallet
if i did, wallets that don't fit all the way inside the a pocket, need a chain.


..L.T.A.

Who cares if your wallet falls out in a truck? If it falls out while on a road trip on a scooter you may not know it until you stop for beer and gas.

My wallet fell out of my back pocket as I was mowing backwards once. (The lawnmower got it.)
If only I had a chain on it!

not "in" the truck i figure they'd much care about.
having it fall out on the ground unknowingly while getting in or out would be the thing, I figure

The Road Glide I recently bought at an auction had major scratches on one side cover from a wallet chain presumably. Replaced them. A little 3m protective material solves that problem.

Like I posted earlier, carry your wallet in your front pocket. Itś impossible for it to fall out when youŕe sitting on your bike. IMHO, walking around with a chain hanging down your leg from a wallet in your back pocket looks comical.

Use smaller chain.

Come on, it had to be said.
