Recco a backpack?
- Thread starter TdotMurderer
- Start date
get a tank bag or tail bag.
Depends, what do you plan on carrying ?
For small articles such as shoes, pants etc any backpack should do
For heavier loads one that takes the weight in the hips versus the shoulders.
Also a lot of motorcycle specific packs out there that reduce drag.
I use a simple nike backpack I bought for 10 bucks and it woks great !!
The only bag you'll ever use for commuting again is the Ogio No Drag. Seriously, shoe compartments, helmet hood, audio pocket, aerodynamic profile, tons of space, H20 bladder pocket, etc. Love mine for sure.
+1 but for the LESS DRAG not the NO DRAG.....Both great bags but the NO DRAG was a little bigger then what I needed...Anyways best bag Ive ever owned for bike use
+1 on Ogio No Drag. Went down in the rain with it once (Lowside and slide for awhile) and it saved my leathers on the back XD. Backpack just took a little scrapping and thats it!
P.S Does anyone know where i can get a helmet strap replacement cover thing. I seem to have lost mine while on the highway (Left it open by accident)
The best motorcycle backpacks on the market, not cheap but neither is riding.

I happen to have one for sale, used twice .. maybe three times.

I picked up one of the ICON Backpacks. Its great for heading out to the gym I can get some sneakers, change of clothes and some bottled water in it or small erands around town. I like it for the high reflectivity material it even shows up good in during the day. It is a little heavy with the all the material used for the helmet pouch.

I use an MEC sling pack, the big pod to be exact http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Packs/SlingPacks/PRD~5017-260/mec-big-pod.jsp
Its really really really easy to get one and off with an armored jacket.

Weird. Wasn't there the last time I looked.
Anyways, No Drag fits over the speed hump as well. I wear an RS-Taichi GMX-Motion, and it fits right on top of the hump.

+1 if you have/want to use the backpack option. Otherwise I would prefer to use a tank or tail bag.
I use mine for school.
I have this.. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=4151
I actually got it for a great price from Velocity (Jimmy) one of the vendors on here. Great bag but the newer version looks even better.
