Usually I keep everything in my backpack or jacket when riding. This is not foolproof, though. I left my bookbag zippers closed, but together at the top of the bag in April.

So when you're tucked over the tank, and the wind catches the zippers, they split -- OMG!!! There goes your stuff.

Last night I was coming from WalMart (posing of course :lol ) and I put my wallet in the backpocket of my jeans. hit some turns hard on the way home, and magically...no wallet. Surprised, as I wouldn't have thought it would blow out of the asspocket like that....

What measures do y'all take to keep your stuff safe, and have you lost anything irreplaceable while out on a ride? Cuz right now I feel like an :alky

Harley guys have known the secret for years and years; wallet on a leash. Seems to be a trend among high school kids these days, but they take it to the extreme with several inches of log chain hanging off their hips, vs. a small little stainless or chrome chain which actually serves a purpose.

By the way, my wallet has been found dangling from its leash on a few occasions over the last five or so years that I've owned it, fwiw. Money well spent.

I keep all my stuff wallet, cell, keys in my jacket's inside zip up pockets. Unless its ungodly hot and I go for a short ride wearing a tshirt (i know....i know... but at least I'm honest) then I put it in my back jeans pocket but after reading this I'm having second thoughts.

Well I only ride in my full leathers so I toss everything (cell phone and flat wallet) in the left brest pocket so I haven't lost anything like that but I did lose a bandana once when I was helping out at a wreck, does that count?

 

[f4igrad]

i have hit some pretty high speeds and my wallet hasn't even budged. probably because I have a costanza wallet

 

[Big15]

I keep my wallet and house keys in one of the zippered side pockets of my jacket. I can't stand sitting on my wallet anyway so I rarely have it in my backpocket. I keep my phone on the inside pocket of my jacket. Anything else goes into the storage compartment if it will fit.

I allways have it in my pants.... and it stays there (don't wear baggy).

I bought a small folding wallet and keep it in my front pocket, over 100k miles no loss

I wear a jacket when i ride... so i just zip it up in the pockets on the jacket.

 

[ZeuSeason]

I'm always worried about loosing my wallet or cell phone. I never keep anything in my back pocket so just in my front pockets. I try to keep everything in a button up pocket or zip up. No loss yet, but when I ride you'll see me checking my pockets to make sure everything is still there!

I've heard keeping your wallet in your back pockets cause alot of physical back problems. My back is pretty bad so I don't want to make it any worse.

I've had a backpack pouch blow open during a little high-speed run home from school. Funny thing was that there was a lot of junk in there, but I couldn't remember anything specific. Oh well, couldn't have been important.

I need to get one of those wallets with a chain.

Then your wallet blows out and opens and scatters your money everywhere.

My Aerostich has big velcroed pockets, so I put the wallet in them. Before the suit, I just wore it in the back pocket and never had a problem. I admit I've developed a habit of checking my wallet at lights, though.

Not if you own a velcro'd wallet (A lot of active duty people I know love them--especially since they usually have a clear cover on the outside in which one can place an ID)
