What kind of wallet do you have?

#1 Unread post by pharnok »

I've been riding for about a year now and when I first started someone gave me a "biker's" wallet one of the ones with a chain. My question is how many of you out there use this type of wallet? Is it really necessary?

I have an MT wallet. It really sucks. I can't recommend one.

I put in a couple thousand miles with my plain-jane single fold leather wallet sitting in my jean's back pocket without a problem. I was worried the first few times out, but she never abandonded ship on me. Now that I have a riding suit, it goes in a zippered pocket for easy access at gas stations. No worries about it falling out, either.

I have one of those wallets, but I don't use the chain. When I ride, the wallet either sits in my tankbag or in an upper pocket of my riding jacket.

i have a guinness wallet with a chain on it. ive always had chain wallets just because i like it. but i do feel safer on the bike with the chain. for a short time i had a regular wallet i was paranoid it would fall out and kept checking it was there.

I used to have a nice one with a chain....after a while I got sick of the chain & removed it.

These days I use just a regular wallet which I just keep in the inside pocket of my Vest or Jacket.

You only need a wallet if you have some money to put into it..... :(

I use the bikers wallet (or truckers wallet) with the chain. Very happy with it. I also added a dog collar snap to the belt strap and I put my bike keys on it when I leave the bike. I have never lost a wallet or keys (knock on wood).

I just use a thin little credit card/license holder in the breast pocket and a money clip in the front pocket. I can't stand a thick wallet.
