This week there has been a pink and black Jonas Brothers back pack on my scoot as I have been taking my daughter to school in the mornings.

I bet there are a lot of comments as I go down the road...........
For me I use a bag that I put on my swingarm. Working good so far.

I also use it when riding bicycles, and it is the only bag I've ever had that stays put with cinching the strap(s) tighter than a hangman's noose. Way better than other messenger bags like Timbuk2, Dana Design, etc.

It's also 100% weatherproof. And when I commute every day on my 'cross bike in Montana winters, that counts for a lot. I've had way too many bags crap out on me and lost a laptop to the weather once. For me, this was money well spent.

Used to use one occasionally when I had my Sportster. I have a Heritage now and don't need one.

got one of these in Orange. Comfy. Blaze orange gives me some visibility on the road.

That explains why I can't control my weight.

I've got the same one, in orange. It certainly does help with the visibility.

My Harley is black and orange, too. People tease me that I bought the bag to match the bike. But, the bag is older than the bike. The matching thing is something I never would even have thought of

I carry mine to work or if I need to carry something in town. I have traveled with it before for about a 350 mile day and it was getting old byt the time I got off the bike.

I've been thinking about doing this when I need to run around and pick things up or drop off stuff at the library. Now finding a decent looking one would be another thing. I've got one but somehow "Sprint Tech Support" written on your pack just doesn't seem right to me. lol
