Default Cheap Saddle/Side Bag

So I really fancied a side bag and although I do like the looks of some of the products out there, i didn't fancy paying the price and quite fancied something canvas....so I did this!!

Best part, only cost me £4.00 :-)

Who can guess what I used...?

Looks very nice. Looks like a military surplus butt pack or messenger bag.

Enjoy.

Shame on me. I used to be an NBC NCO when I was a young soldier.

I just ordered a La Rosa left side bag off eBay - $79.95 - It may be an error as all other LaR bags are $136.99 - any way I paid for it so I`ll see if the guy ships or makes an excuse - it`s a buy it now deal, not an auction so if anyone is interested have a look before the guy wakes up.
