Carrying Your Papers

#1 Unread post by The Grinch »

How do you all carry your papers (registration, insurance docs) with you when you ride?

Ride it like you think owning it matters.

Current ride: fairing pocket in ziploc bag (along with spare earplugs, notepad, tire gauge, etc etc etc).

Previous ride (naked bike): taped under seat in ziploc bag.

I keep a copy of my license with the papers, and an extra insurance card in the wallet. Don't like keeping papers in the jacket since I switch jackets depending on weather, and I'd hate to wash my registration.

zip lock bag is the way to go. I use a zip lock bag in my mini van. just easier to grab a ziplock bag out of the full glove compartment my wife has stuffed with god knows what and is a pain to close.

I keep it under the seat in a ziplock bag. But that was a little bit of a problem after my accident, because the seat was stuck and wouldn't come off.

I just fold them about 5 times and put them in my wallet...not a whole lot of room on the bike.

What kind of huge insurance/registration cards does your state have?? Mine fit in my wallet with 1 fold.

...wot papers officer? :dunno:


...in a Ziplok under the seat like the rest of the posts. I am fortunate on my Guzzi that there is a well under the seat where the OEM toolkit goes so no tape needed. Do most bikes have toolkits stashed somewhere or is is this a reflection of Guzzi's confidence in their machines?

Keeping this stuff on your bike means that if someone steals your bike, the perp has everything they need to just make your bike theirs "legally."

Fold those up and tuck them in your wallet.
