Question/advise to those who wear Full Leathers 1 pc on Street:

How do you carry your essential things you need to carry like driver lic/insurance/money/cc and things like that?

Any cool/special way you guys do it? or do you just put few things like cards in your inside packet?

I know we had discussions about street vs track and some wear full leather some dont.

I typically wear taichi or dainese jacket and jeans with short/full gloves, full/riding boots/shoes. :)

I am thinking of doing 2 pcs leathers, but if I was doing a canyon riding or what not, I would like to wear my full leathers. Currently, I have no good roads to ride but I will move soon.:mad:

I know some older "experienced" gents have been doing this for while so I was just curious. :confused:
 
Most leathers have inside pockets.

I carry my cell phone, and my wallet. On occasion I may put my wallet under the rear cowling.

Over the weekend some douche said to me, "Aren't you being a little extreme".

To him I replied, "not with idiots like you on the road".

I guess I have a big ass wallet. I probably need to do a money clip type thing and put it under the suit. :cool:
 
Cell phone strapped to upper triple. CC, cash and ID in inside pocket. Prefer one piece (kangaroo it is) over my qr yr old IXS 2 pc
 
I use a cinch bag with a plastic molle/d clip to hold the strings closed on me. I don't want to feel anything, and doing it this way is perfect.

I don't wear full leathers because I live in Hawaii but I would recommend swapping out that big-ass wallet for a front-pocket wallet (that you carry inside your jacket). I still use my HD front pocket wallet I bought when I had my VROD Muscle. All you really need is a debit card,your house keys, and handy (German for mobile phone). Travel light!
 
Sometimes I wear the Dainese Drop leg pouch when I wear my leathers if I need to carry stuff besides my phone and wallet. I understand how wallets can get fat with all the stuff like Insurance Card, Drivers Lic, credit cards, ATM cards, medical insurance cards, cash etc. it can be a pain.

I use the Kreiga bum bag (or fanny pack to those over the pond). At 250lbs I have no concerns about not being butch!

That is the manliest fanny pack I've ever seen! Long live the Manny Pack!

Yeah, thanks for posting that. That isn't half bad! I usually do the backpack thing and my dealer has some Ducati fanny packs that are tempting, but are still a fanny pack. The key to this whole issue is the different use cases people on the forum have for their bikes. If I were going out for a ride and then coming home I could wear full on leathers no problem. Usually I am riding from point A to point B (office, dinner, errands, etc.) and don't have the option to wear leathers or the option to not be able to carry anything (change of clothes, bag of California Tortilla, etc.). Fun ride - leathers, no problem. Transportation or commuting - full leathers not an option.

Wallet and cell phone in front pocket/pockets for me. I don't carry a lot of crap in my wallet so it is almost a money clip type set up anyway. One thing I do like about my astars suit is it has two pockets in the front where most only have one.

Remember that you are preparing for the crash not the ride.:D

yes, Arlen Ness. had a steal deal on this, 269 instead of 1099 Euros, online at motorrad-ecke.de in Germany...
the only problem , the size 52 is a little tight for my 197 lbs
 
Essential cards (driver's license, one debit card, AMA card in case roadside assistance is required) and a little cash inside leathers. Registration, insurance card, and cell phone beneath the seat cowl.
