Gotta have the rego and ins. papers with you at all times, right? No glovebox on a bike, right?

I'm thinking maybe a heavy zipper-lock bag attached inside the tool cover or something.

What do you do?

I've got them in a zip lock bag in the compartment under the seat if the bike is so equipped or in my jacket pocket.

Ziplock under seat/in tool pod/in trunk. Depends on the bike but I always find a place to stash it- I'd definitely manage to lose track of them if they were in a pocket.

Ziplock in the tool roll. Though, FWIW, some states now allow digital documents, meaning you can save them on your phone.

I thought this was going to be a Zig-Zag thread.

My "documents" are kept in a ziplock under the seat tucked into the battery slot.

I keep them under the seat with my insurance card and an emergency $20. I seem to go riding without my wallet a lot. I have too many jackets to keep in in a pocket.

I have color coded Icon magnetic tank bags......red for the blue Muzzy's and black for the green 10r. I don't carry insurance cards since that info is on our registration.

Tank bags are godsends for sport bikes with steel tanks.

And if you don't, well it's double the cost.....lol

I've only needed DL and insurance card. I saved my insurance to my phone and put my insurance card in my wallet.

Used to keep them in the tool kit. One bike I owned had a clip inside a side cover, don't recall which one. Now on the K-1200, glove box. On the R-90, inside a Zip Lock back, rolled up and clipped inside a tube under the gas tank.

I believe on my state motorcycles aren't required to keep their paperwork on the bike, but I'm not sure about that. I keep the insurance card and registration papers in one of the leg pockets of my riding pants. ATGATT, so I never leave home without them.

Usually in my wallet. One bike had a pocket on the under side of the seat.

Zip lock bag, under the seat, on top of the tool kit, under the buckle.

I ride like an old person so I've never worried about having to get it out.

That reminds me, I need to check to see if the MV Agusta F4's have steel, aluminum, or plastic tanks.

Ziplock bag inside my GF's toolkit. My XR doesn't have a spot so I keep that one in my wallet. My Aprilia has a huge tank bag so I keep it in there. I have so many motorcycle jackets I'd have to search them all each time, if I remembered.

Stashbox. It mounts to your license plate holes, then you mount your plate to it. Adds about an inch of thickness, its practically invisible, is rain/splash proof and locks. It holds all of my paperwork, a AAA card, some emergency cash and a credit card.

Hey now! That is pretty slick - and cheap. I do believe I'll get one of those.

Oops, forgot to let you all know where I keep the hand grenades...
