Reading the post below I'm almost sure the bag comes from Mike_M from Chesapeake:
The Mascot made it a bit further South today.
Big Kudos to Mike_M from Chesapeake - not only did he provide a new (and cool) "kit bag" for the Mascots transport, he also rode through some nasty weather this morning to keep the mascot on schedule. I'm sure Mike'll post of some of the photos of his ride - yet he made it to Raleigh early and in great spirits!
We (myself and 7 other riders) met Mike at Ray Price HD. We had a great visit, traded a lot of tips, handed off the Mascot, watched the dealer roll out their 2013 models, and then had a kick-a$$ lunch at a hole-in-the-wall gem of Italian cooking in Angier (just South of Raleigh).
That's whats cool about riding Harley's, you get to meet and hang out with some of the greatest Americans.
Mike - it was great to meet you and hang out for awhile, I'm sure we'll meet again in your territory one day soon.
Tomorrow it's on to Salisbury, NC, to meet with Midgitfire and hand off the Mascot for a ride to Georgia.

Rene called me out on this one.
When I received the Mascot back in August, it was wrapped up in a ziplock bag. I had a little time and some odds&ends sitting around, so figuring the Mascot had a long trip ahead of it, I threw something together that was a little more durable than the plastic bag.
{edit} Unfortunately the iron-on transfer that I used was probably a little too old and didn't work as well as it should have--still, it gave the bag an "aged" look (and some character!).{/edit}
When I was in the Navy I learned to do all my own sewing. It was cheaper in the long run than paying the tailor every time I needed name tapes & ranks sewn on, and sometimes there just wasn't the "right" pouch or bag available in the store. Because of this, I had some nylon fabric and zippers sitting around unused--hence the kit bag for the mascot.
During my time in the Navy, I also picked up an odd hobby of collecting some sewing machines.
Here's my closet (yes, they all work, and there's some not shown):
The wife would prefer the closet space, but I just can't seem to part with them.
