  1. I have a textile suit Furygan:upyeah: I also have got 1 piece leathers but struggling to find anywhere to put my valuables ie wallet and phone and sometimes spare visor , what do people use to carry essentials whilst wearing 1 piece leathers , no issue with the textile suit as it has many pockets , advice needed ;) was thinking of a small backpack :D
     
  2. The only time it is EVER ACCEPTABLE to wear a bumbag is on a bike.

  3. I bought a bumbag when I had my Dainese suit, for the same reason. Turned out to be very handy. Still a bit ghey though.

  6. My Ducati bum bag was bought in 2001 and is still going strong after numerous European trips. Just remember to stick the important stuff in a snap seal plastic bag. (Cue one soggy Passport ;))

  7. Bought an Oxford bum bag in 2004. Still going strong.

    And yes, use a sealable plastic bag for things you don't want getting wet.

  8. When I'm out in my 1 piece leathers theres a handy space under the seat cowl on the 899 which is big enough to put all essentials in a little plastic bag - just like having a hatchback!
     
  9. I have a kiwi bum bag which turns into a rucksac when needed
    If out in the rain make sure you put everything into a plastic bag
     
  10. I use a tiny tank bag that fits on a ring on the filler on the Ducati and a bum bag on the other bike
     
  11. No, just no.

  12. Got small Nike bumbag carries notes and cards that only comes off when I'm sleeping shitting or showering. I'm growing a beer belly to hide it.

  13. Have a black Dainese one, initially thought it was a faux par, probably still is but it doesn't half come in handy.
    Small bottle of glass cleaner and micro wipe for bug removal in the summer and dirt in the winter.

  14. I have a Ducati bum bag, excellent for my wallet, fags and lighter.
    Can't fit a visor in there though.
    My 1 piece leathers have an inside pocket just big enough for my Iphone :)
     
  15. I have a small bum bag made out of an elephants foreskin, but if I rub it, it turns into an overnight bag.

    Cheers Gaz

  16. Can't fit anything in my one piece leathers so bum bag required for visor, fags, credit card and phone. Got a free one with my helmet which fits the clear visor, just in case some plod decides that the dark visor is offensive and Wants to do me as all of a sudden it has got dark on a bright sunny day..as if.
     
  17. Yup, Kriega one for me. Very useful.
     
  18. Another vote for the Kriega bumbag, never notice it when riding and very solid. Alternatively as has already been said small tank bag.

    R3 - Kriega

    Kriega also do a tank bag converter for their bags. US 5 or 10 depending on the space you need and the "Tank" convertor. Some say the 10 interferes with their riding style but I use one and find it fine. The "Tank" makes flipping it open for petrol very easy as is removal, well thought out piece of kit.

    Bike packs - Kriega
     
  19. I have a Kriega but find it unnecessarily large so I use a small Eastpak when wearing leathers

  20. Yes, Oxford for sunny trips and Kriega R3 for rain.
