where do you keep your mobile/wallet when riding?

Yes, the P99 has a large trigger guard to accomodate gloves.

Yeah, I know I've already answered this...
My pocketses has all sorts of things in them

I have gargre door opener, bike-lock keys, allen key (for quick removal of zorst restrictor), coins, pen, sometimes digicam, sometimes cellphone, earplugs, lip balm, wallet, any nuts'n'bolts I find, sometimes the zorst restrictor...
Gotta make it interesting if I fall off, although disappointingly, I've had no interestingly-shaped bruises after any 'offs' carrying all this crap around...

I've got five pockets to fill (not counting the one for an extra back protector). Maybe some fruit, or other groceries....

Wallet in back pocket of trousers, I have a leatherman Wave in a pouch on my belt, zippo in another belt pouch, house keys, pocket knife and small change in trousers side pockets, Ipaq and cigarettes in pocket of sleeveless vest, note book and pen in other vest pocket - no room for cellphone (don't have one anyway), P99 (Ixion, can you say "high capacity magazine vs two barrels"? and Waylander, while the Glock is a fine weapon I find the P99 fits my hand better) and grenade (thermite, HE or frag, doesn't matter - no effing room!)

I try not to put anything in the jacket pockets (don't think they're waterproof enough) unless I know I'll have to stop for gas - then I'll put money or EFTPOS card in hip pocket of jacket. Rarely would I carry my wallet there (likely to get torn free and lost in a spill)

Enough hard objects stored around midriff to cause extreme discomfort in a spill but usually nothing high enough to hit ribs.

Anyone remember all the warnings about cell phones giving you cancer when you hold it up to your ear? Think about what its doing to your heart if you are keeping it in your jackets cellphone holder . . . worse yet, think about what its doing when you have it in your jeans pocket . . . I bet your phone spends more time in your pocket than against your ear too!

Makes it kinda like a DIY vasectomy kit . . .

Yip my flatmate found out the hard way

I carry my cellphone in an outer pocket of my jacket and my wallet in an inside pocket of my jacket.

A couple shoved down the front of your Levis might create a certain interest from the ladies

under the seat. If someone needs to call me, I check the phone when stopped. I'm not that important that I need to be contacted at anytime.

Usually ditch the wallet and just carry bankcard and DL in jacket if on a mission, if not I usaully have a backpack or such anyhow.

I have a small tank bag which holds wallet/cellphone/access cards, etc.

What's even worse is that you notice when it's ringing! If it's somewhere (like your bag) and it rings, at least you're ignorant of the fact till you get to you destination and stop. When you're riding along, with gloves and helmet on, and it rings,

becomes :unsure: then

then :spudwhat: then

then

but almost never
