I use a tiny, Oxford Micro tankbag for nick-nacks. Its really tiny, only about 1 litre if memory serves. Magnetic, with an additional, easy to use headstock strap. Obviously, being so tiny, it doesn't get in the way at all. Its one of the most useful little purchases I have made in a long time. Mine will take fags etc, phone, wallet, sunglasses, helmet bag, disc lock, even a cable lock and padlock at a squeeze. Recommended.
Kriega looks to be the way to go but i do like to take my camera with me (bridge camera) so a little backpack might be the way to go
The Kreiga US packs may do the job depending on the size of your bridge camera. You can mount them either to the tank using the "Tank" option or onto the top of the tailpiece. Although pricey the Kreiga packs are superb, for a small one they do an R15, R20 and R25, so they also may fit your needs. Sometimes I wear an R30 and its superb for me I never really notice it when I have it on. I have no affiliation to Kreiga I just like their products
Got a north face satchel/courier bag, take it everywhere with me (in the car or on the bike) - managed to get my knee down last year on the mountain section at the tt with an SLR, phone, couple of reserve batteries and a load of tuck from the petrol station in Ramsey....theres a waist strap on it which for when im know im going to be riding at speed I pull tight and tighten up the main strap also....and, when travelling, loosen it off so it sits on the back seat taking the weight off my back....although its showing its age now so I may get a new one soon but ill stick to the style ive got...haven't found anything better yet...
Anything Kreiga is good. I wear the R3 as there are no pockets in my Dainese leathers. solid and 100% waterproof. Looks good too.
choice has been made Kriega R3 waistpack cheers for all the advice , not bothered what i look like just want my stuff to be safe and easy to carry with out to much hassle
Well, as I once said to a friend and colleague from this very forum - you already ride a Ducati, you have style to burn ... so a bum bag makes no dent whatsoever into your super-cool image. Wear it with pride
TBH when im out, im out for the whole day (eg at the TT) we're out at 8am and not back in til about 10ish I the evening so a bum bag just doesn't hold enough for the whole day...plus on top of that I usually tend to carry my mates stuff as well, cos im nice like that!!
Yeah but, the thing is usually I tend to be pretty good with food during the working week, let it go a bit on the weekends, regularly exercise and then when on holiday anything goes....so, ive gotta say, when we're at the tt we tend to go into the petrol station at Ramsey, get as much junk food as we can (kinda like kids with pocket money) ride up to that big sweeping right hander with the new tarmac and sit there eating rubbish til our hearts content....after downing a fish and chips in ramsey across from the garage....I need the storage...
