New trucker wallet

[Buffalohump]

Let me offer one piece of advice I learned the hard way, if you happen to get the chain caught on something, in my case it was on the handlebar of a dirt bike I dumped. It looped over the brake reservoir and where the bike went, I went. I woulda gave anything for a cheap ripstop nylon trifold wallet that day.

I just recently started carryin' a wallet again' all my tethered leather wallets have long since wore out or in the case of my last one, lost the wallet when we got flooded during Katrina and I found it a year later in a box I missed in the corner of the basement under the stairs. It was the only bikers wallet I ever lost, still got the chain , belong to my 16 y/o Shepard from when I was a kid.

In all seriousness a couple of things to keep in mind, a bikers wallet with change is like a tie in a machine shop, if it gets hooked on something and it's attached to you, you go where it goes. Also in a fight, I've seen a few guys go down bein' flung like a dog on a chain because the wallet was securely attached to the chain and the chain securely attached to the biker.

Hook it to a belt loop by the clip instead of the belt through the leather loop. The stitching at the belt loop will pull free of the fabric with substantially less for seein that the anchor points on the wallet or the leather belt loop. Another option is to use a weak link to attach to the leather belt loop, I used to use decorative unwelded aluminum links as a break, they're stung enough to hold against a snag or pull that I notice it before I'd lose it but if I had to break way from it I could`with a little effort. Better to get separated from a wallet momentarily than separated from your life permanently.

Thanks, good advice! I dont ride a bike but I see your point.
