I was wondering what most of you all do for storage of your registration or other important paperwork you need to carry with you when riding. I put mine in the small storage area under the seat with the tool kit. But that is gonna be a giant PIA if i get pulled over and have to dig that out.

where do you guys keep yours?

before I received the registration from DMV, I carried the long ass contract in my backpack.
Now I just fold the registration card and insurance card and put them into a ziplock bag and it fit nicely inside toolkit bag.

I always ride with a book bag and it just stays in there... You never know when impulse spending may occur...

Registration?

Proof of insuance?

Why bother?!!!

Next they are going to want a DRIVER'S LICENSE!!!

This is the NEW AMERICA!!!  It impedes the CIVIL RIGHTS of the people to force them to pay for such petty things!!!




















I keep a photocopy in the "tool box" under the seat, along with a the originals in my inside jacket pocket.

I keep the insurance card in my wallet and leave the registration at home.  They probably already have it up on the computer before you're even stopped.

I put everything under the seat in a zip loc bag.  Last time I got pulled over the cop looked at me funny as I was taking off the seat just as he was getting out of his car.  Understood and was very patient once he figured out what I was doing.

Oh yeah, no ticket and commented that it was a nice ride  [cheeky]

I use a packing list envelope - the kind you use on cartons to hold shipping paperwork......

Cheap - self adhesive and stuff stays dry (so far)

I just stick it on the seat bottom and slip the papers inside - leaving the backing on the flap adhesive

If they get damaged, I 've got a million more of 'em
Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

License in wallet.  Paperwork in jacket pocket.  I always wear the jacket so I always have my paperwork.

If im missing any of those 3 + safety sticker, its a $115 fine, and impound. Oh and Welcome to NYC.

I keep originals in my wallet. A copy of them at home, a copy of them in each of my moto jackets incase i forgot to put my important stuff back into my wallet that day.(i usually empty it out when i go out to clubs or drinking), also keep one in the toolkit with a ziplock. So im covered.
