08-09 where do you keep your registration?
« on: June 24, 2016, 09:56:25 AM »
Those of you without a Sergant seat, where do you keep your registration and insurance? I'm not sure I like the idea of keeping it in my jacket, and no way I'll keep it in my glove box that doesn't lock. I just swapped my Sergant for my new Seth Laam seat built on an OEM seat pan, so no more compartment in the bottom of my seat. What creative places do you keep your registration?

I should also mention I don't keep my bags on often.

just keep mine in the bottom of my tank glove box under my tire gage, pen and cable lock. Who wants to steel a piece of paper?  :loco:

A piece of paper with your name and address.
Plus, my glove box is full.
Not sure why you think I'm crazy.
I even said I wasn't planning to keep it there.

I have a second wallet - actually just an ID case - super thin; and I've gotten in the habit of keeping all my ownership, insurance papers, and license in it. Less than 1/8" thick...  (and handy to have it all in one wallet when digging it out for the friendly patrol officer... :(  just the necessities, nothing more...)

I don't even notice it in my pocket anymore. Morning routine - check for watch, phone, keys, wallets, glasses, fob - I'm good to go...  Sounds like a lot, but it's habit now...

Ohio registration does not have your address on it. Just name, and bike info and if you standing at the bike that info is already available to anyone walking by. Plus they are a coated paper so it doesn't hurt it to get wet.

I keep it in my wallet too.  It's just a couple pieces of paper and you have to carry your license so that is where it stays.  I'm the only person that operates the Motorcycle so the insurance papers are always with me.

I've never kept registration and insurance in my wallet. I don't have room for it. I keep that stuff in the glove box.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm assuming earlier than 2010 does not have a glovebox?

Yes I thought about this spot.
It might be the only solution short of keeping it in my jacket.

In a double ziploc bag, in my right sleeve wrist zipperd pocket of my stich, which also contains emergency medical info, and family contact numbers.

There is a red pull tab on that sleeves zipper with  an emergency sign on it also...

This is the place I am leaning towards.
Its always been double baggied, so this may end up being the new solution.
I miss my Sergant pocket already.

Those of you without a Sergant seat, where do you keep your registration and insurance?

I have a Sargent seat.

I keep my license, registration, and insurance in my wallet.  And the wallet is in a fanny-pack that goes in my pannier (while I am riding the bike).

I should also mention I don't keep my bags on often.

That is a good mention.  In my case, I *NEVER* remove the bags.  It is precisely the type of reason why I have a Concours.  Now, if I didn't have panniers, I would have the wallet in either one of three places while ridding- my jacket, my pants, or a fanny-pack.

I would NEVER leave anything with my personal information, unsecured, on or in any vehicle, if I were not using/in/on the vehicle (security/privacy).  Under the seat?  Perhaps, but not very convenient.   Glovebox on the Gen C14?  Possibly, since it locks.  But I leave that completely empty except for spare keys for the helmet lock and Sargent Pod, since the panniers are all I need.

I feel Razzi looks sportier with the bags off, and it makes splitting while commuting easier to manage.
However during the winter months when I need a bit more warmth in the morning, I'll have the bags on to hold the extra gear.

Just mentioning..
If you get pulled over, for whatever, and have to stop at the discretion of the LEO involved,you may nd 9 out of 10 times, you have to park in a precarious position, where bike balance on side stand, or dismounting to root thru your bags, is a CDA waiting to happen, and the LEO ain't gonna help you upright you now horizontal machine, and even if you get a ticket, it still isn't worth dismounting for, to appease the interest of Jonny Law...

Keep it where you can retrieve it, and hand it to him... just personal experience.

Now, personally, if I am stopped, and an officer asks for registration, I simply say I have to sit here as long as you are out of your air conditioned car, here is my drivers license, I'm wearing a moon suit, go back, run my plate, and my license, and be quick about it, please officer...
If they demand an insurance card, I have it in my sleeve, but I still say, oh, no problem, is your office down the road? If not I'll show ya, but I do have 36 hours to provide that, I can stop safely and dig it out at the depot....or, pull it out and hand it to him.

I don't get stopped much.

I just got my 09, and it has a Corbin 2 piece seat. I had it under there in the plastic box for a couple weeks. I got a set of the bag liners, and there is a small pocket on the outside. I am keeping it in there now. All of my bikes have required me to get off to produce registration, so this has been no issue on this one either. I have always been respectful to LEO, even if I was pulled over for gross infractions. I once got pulled over doing 40 plus above posted with a passenger. ( it was a 25 zone on a beautiful curvy road )   Long story short, I was let go with a stern warning.
