where do you keep your papers

[Wahoo650]

Keep reg and ins. card for both bikes in a zip lock and carry them in my jacket inside pocket. ATGATT, so I never leave home with out them, no matter which bike I ride.

I've always kept copies in a baggie under the seat. Never considered a thief getting away because of the papers though.

REg and insurance in my Wallet, with my license. Never leave them on the bike....If stolen, and the perp get's stopped, and has papers, the PoPo may not realize the bike is stolen, especially if you hadn'r reported it yet...

My wallet has 3 regies, 2 insurance cards, my license....All together.

+1......keep in the wallet.

I have the registration and insurance card for all 4 bikes in there.

Move to the UK your not required to carry any papers at all. If you get stopped they input the reg into their system and it tells them if you have tax, insurance and MOT, it will tell them the owner and also if the owner has a licence.

In NJ, if you don't have a valid registration, Valid Insurance ID card and a Valid license on your person when stopped, it's A BIG Penalty:

A motorist who operates a motor vehicle in the State of New Jersey must carry a valid driver license, a valid probationary license or a validated New Jersey
permit. The motorist must also carry valid insurance and vehicle registration cards. (N.J.S.A.39:3-29)

Here's the penalty:

39:3-29 Refusal to exhibit driver's license, registration, or insurance identification card (if a violation is for more than one offense involving license, registration or insurance card, they are separate offenses and the payable amount indicated is for each offense $173.00

So if you get stopped and don't have the registration and insurance ID card, that is 2 penalties: $346.00

Trifecta, left your wallet home, no license, ID card, or regi, $519.

Bear in mind, they have the data on the computer....So if you actually are licensed, they won't give you a no license violation, just a not possessing it on your person.....

Ask me How I know this? I was stopped and given a ticket for no Insurance card..I had the expired one and the current one with me, and accidently handed the cop the expired one. I showed him the current one, but he could not "take back the ticket".

Beat the ticket in court, but had to take a day off from work and spend the day in court, waiting to be called....

I use a stainless steel pill tube off amazon thats waterproof by nature. Roll up my papers slide them in the tube and have a rubber lined p clip mounted under the seat that it slides right into. Total cost was about $6.

Oh yeah.......Jersey......gotta love their laws.

Got a speeding ticket back in 1973 on the Jersey Turnpike, driving the company van. Thought they paid the ticket. (was told by my boss at the time)

Joined the Army in 1975, retarded.....uuuhh.....retired in 1995.

Went to get a permanent license after retirement in Georgia, and that freaking ticket showed up, and had to pay the fine before I could renew.
