Now we know what women go through trying to decide on a purse. For my intended purpose of long distance travel it means a bag that can hold up the test of miles, be not so kewl that it's asking to be ripped off in some shopping mart, and can actually hold a few things.

With so many different styles and manufacturers around, it is hard to guesstimate what works. I would like a bag with a map cover that would fit a rain suit and can of chain lube. Big enough yet not so that it appears to be a tumor sticking off the tank. Any suggestions for a late model NH 750?

You don't happen to recall the specific model, do you? I'm willing to drop $150 on something that will stand up to regular usage on a commuter, sounds like yours does. On Apr 11, 2012 6:15 AM, "Curtis Park" wrote: > I carry a florescent yellow milspec bag made by iconmotto. $144. Carries a > lapt

I carry a florescent yellow milspec bag made by iconmotto. $144. Carries a laptop. A place for your helmet for stoarge. Tool kit, lots of space for books and stuff. Very comfortable. I'm military and it works great for day to day and long rides. On Apr 10, 2012 11:11 PM, "Kurt Nolte" wrote: > So

So, I'm considering getting a tank bag to use for my "light" commuting days. I have saddlebags for when I need to take the whole school kit, textbooks and all, or when I'm making my "laundry run" to work (Uniforms for a week...). What I'm looking at maybe doing is getting a tank bag that can fit a

Really old cards, from the early days of widespread use, had issues with magnets. Modern credit cards, however, shouldn't even bat a metaphorical eye at being near such a weak magnet. Kurt On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 9:56 PM, Melissa Perkins wrote: > > also, i've heard of people having their bank/c

I've actually seen some "Paul Jr. Designs" magnetic tank bags at the Mall-Mart that have what you're looking for - magnetic and see-through pouches. I doubt that i'd buy one myself since I prefer things without big logos written in neon lights, but they looked pretty neat. I think the price was

I haven't tried either of those, but I've got the Cortech Super-mini Magnetic-mount Tankbag on my 84 700. Not as big as the ones you're looking at but I've been happy with it. Enough room to fit my raingear, small backpack, and other stuff in. Has the clear "map pocket" on top but I use it for my c
