Default This game sucks...

So I went out to my bike the other night to put my new registration papers in the trunk of my bike. I open the seat up and...nothing. Greeeeeeaaaaat.

This sucks! I don't loose things! I don't know where it could have gone. There is no way it could have fallen out of the bike and the last time I remember taking it out was when my husband washed my bike and soaked the thing...but that was months ago. I know I added my new insurance card since then but I would not have taken it into the house to do that. AHHHHHHHHHHH!

I am just posting because I am bored...and frustrated...and I am hoping maybe this will jog my memory to what may have happened to the thing.

Sorry to hear that. Good you found out before you got pulled over and didn't have your paperwork

I have State farm and they give out plastic envelopes for holding the insurance and registration cards. It's too big to fit flat in the underseat pocket but with just a fold, it fits in quite well. Maybe something like that when you get the replacements.

Can you go on line to the CA DMV to print out a new registration card?

Good luck
Jeff

I have one of those plastic covers. Luckily the reason I was getting it out was because I needed to put my new registration papers in there...so I don't really need the old one. But my up to date insurance card was in there. Now I just have an old one I forgot to take out of my wallet. So it is not the worst situation. If I get pulled over I have the old insurance card that has the current ID number on it.

Put them in zip lock bags... then re-stow away. You won't have to remove for bike wash or worry about getting caught in rain.

Further, with a bueaty like you... I'm sure you would be fine if you got pulled over.

even in my truck I keep my stuff in a zip lock bag... makes them easier to find and they're all in one place... funny how I say it like it's a good thing I do that... but it came from being pulled over so much that I needed quick and easy access to them
