Pockets - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I learned that you should be carefull of what you keep in what pocket.

While getting off my bike yesterday, I was distracted for a fraction of a second, with the result that I caught my foot on the seat and did a nose plant.

No big deal in itself but I felt a stabbing pain as I hit the ground, upon inspection it was just a pen I had in my chest pocket, it dug right in to my chest, even broke the skin.

Can you imagine the harm it could of done in a highspeed get off ? So from now on I'm going to be carefull of what I put in each pocket. Pointy things such as pens/keys/tools or whatever are preferably going in the saddlebags.

I think the moral of this story is to not get your foot stuck when disembarking your bike

Hope your OK Uncle Bob, we need you you know .

Don't forget loaded handguns or pepperspray.

I know the handguns and pepper spray comment was a joke but don't forget us cops ride bikes too!

No joke, In Texas I think you can ride with a concealed machine gun. Keeps the cager's alert. Now, you must have a concealed artillery license I must add.

Not a joke. Some of the masses feel as if their lives are also worthy of defending. Myself among them.

Handgun positioning is worthy of some thought. Inside front waistband will keep it from showing when leaned forward....

"Handgun positioning is worthy of some thought. Inside front waistband will keep it from showing when leaned forward...."

Not to mention having the potential of giving you a sex change in the event of an AD.

///HK P7, AD is highly unlikely(squeeze cocker). Also, holster shields the trigger from unintentional manipulation. Further, muzzle position when carried is low enough to be a danger to my thigh, but not THOSE.

On the other hand, That cager that pulls in front of you and makes a poster of you on the back of his van, may take that gun out of your passed out pocket, shot you and tell the cops you commited suicide at 90mph. (just a thought)

HK maybe... but not my Colt 1991-A1 (winter wear) or Colt Mustang .380 (summer wear)...

Actually they have always been very reliable with the safeties, but it (1991-A1) is a little too large for a frontal waistband carry. Bianchi on the right hip.

Most states in the US recognize right to carry. You have no need to worry about those of us carrying legally. Worry about the criminals, wherever you live.

thats why I carry my GLOCK G22 .40 Cal. in a bianchi holster (guards the trigger) on my hip. Legal to do in Cali and keeps the cage drivers from getting too frisky.
