Title: Waterproof Travel Bag
Post by: Streak on February 26, 2014, 03:30:49 PM

Just ordered myself a Waterproof Travel Bag for the bike, mainly to carry Teela's riding gear to National Rally, but also for extra storage when it is just me, it looks pretty good!

Was that the one that looked like it was falling off all the way?

I've got the same bag in black.  It's about 2 yrs old and carries my camping gear on the bike.  It's survived multiple trips in all weather conditions and has held up well.  I can't really comment on it being waterproof as I usually throw everything in a garbage bag before packing if it looks like being wet.  Though it does seem to keep the rain out,  Would buy one again.

Cheers,

Tony

Well the bag turned up yesterday, and it is awesome!

I have fitted Teelas:

Helmet
Jacket
Boots
Riding Pants
Riding Shirt
plus a couple of other bibs and bobs

As you can see it not only zips shut, it has straps that clip over the top to pull the bag tight so there is nothing flapping in the wind or anything.

Then we can get all colour coordinated.  Perhaps get Louis Vuitton on board for some nice handbags and some designer ugh boots and stuff. :grin

Something a little more motorcycle friendly ... Thats just a bag you can strap on..... A nice bag, but not a motorcycle bag, with motorcycle things and motorcycle straps ...

Just saying
