When I went to Panama I hid some inside my turn signals. That gave me 4 spots to tightly roll up a bill and wrap it with black electrical tape. This will keep it pretty water proof and hard to find. I also had a removeable seat on the bike and I found that it was pretty easy to tuck some inside the seat between the padding and the shell. I also took and taped a bill inside the shroud around the gas tank. By using the wide clear straping tape I took and wrapped some bills in what looked like a oil change mileage log and then just tapped it but did not leave a opening into it so that you could not pull it out easily. If someone saw it they might mistake it for just maintaince records on the bike and go by it. Real hard core is inside a tire between tube and tire. You can also remove hand grips and tape it to the handle bars and then slid the grip back on. You can also tuck it inside the ends of the handle bars. Tail light is another place that should go unnoticed. I do not like to put to much on the bike as it is more likely that your bike might be stolen completely. Hideing a credit card might be better. That way you can just cancel it if the bike gets stolen. Most hold ups are from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Leave the gold chains at home. Same for rings and anything that looks like it is a years salary in the country you are traveling in. I have traveled lots and never had any problems at all. Use your head that is what God gave it to you for. I try not to spend two nights in the same place. I keep on the move if traveling alone. Stay away from the bars late at nights. Stay sober......... Leave the local attractions alone. (girls) Do not keep your money all in one place or when paying for things make sure you get your money out before hand and then just pay with the amount that is needed so others do not see a big wad of bills. If, and that is a big if, they come for it give it to them. People that are going to rob you are usually desperate. They have drug problems or are facing starvation. They have nothing to loose. You do not want to have long term health complications from a stupid mistake. Remember what you see in the movies is not the real deal. They will usually have a back up hiding to help them if you try something stupid. That person will get you from behind and will mean business. The best defense is to stay out of harms way as much as you can. Do not travel alone any more than you need to. I sure hope I did not scare you with this as travel is fun and safe for the most part. Did not mean to write a book but you put the nickel in me...........
