I just got this for my bike:

http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

it works and looks great. I use it to carry my phone, wallet, and workbadge to and from work, and it still has a bit of room for more stuff.

edit: I guess i misunderstood, i thought you were wanting to carry things on your bike, not while you are off. Sorry.

Not here !!! Can't get my head around chaps (assless or not). A bit toooo Village People for me. Usually make do with the pockets of whatever jacket and pants I happen to be wearing at the time.

If you read above, I already said that I don't care about what other people think of what I use or wear.

Here's the answer to this question:

If I left it on my bike, I would imagine that some poor soul would walk by and probably borrow it indefinitely (so I like to carry it on foot when I go inside someplace).
Having a Fatboy, and riding it solo most of the time, I don't put my saddlebags or luggage rack on when I'm only riding a few hundred miles from home, therefore, I have no place to store things when riding or visiting a watering hole.
I would prefer to just be able to hop on and off my bike whenever I want and not have to worry about where to hide things on my bike.
I use my GPS near the end of my ride to get me home because I just ride wherever I feel and sometimes I end up in the middle of nowhere. Hit the "Go Home" button and my trusty GPS gets me home.

In other words.....same reason you lock your car.

I'm a retired cop. I'll send you one of my old utility belts. You can carry your phone, GPS, crackers and potted meat, handcuffs, camera, and a SIG with to extra mags. You may need these items if you actually purchase a really fancy fanny pack.

My Sporty would have a problem with the items you are carrying. They would get lost in the trunk with three bags of groceries.

Biggest problem I've had was carrying a soil auger that stuck out of the trunk. Seemed to scare folks. I guess it did look like a heavy weapon at first glace.

My theory is that it's a Harley--why mess around. If you need to carry, CARRY.
