If it is so easy to find stories from both sides, what's stopping you to trying it out for yourself before stating your opinion? Strapping a milkcrate to a motorcycle to carry load can be the most economical and secure way; but without ever trying, you would never know how and only speculate that it is dangerous. Similar to most people who has never ridden think motorcycling in general is dangerous and would never ride themselves. |

Expressing your invalid opinions as valid opinons is just misleading in the discussion. We can have a discussion when you state valid opinions with your experience, but do not pretend that you know anything about carrying load with milkcrate on motorcycles until you've done it yourself. You can have your opinions about motorcycling because you have ridden a motorcycle, but without ever riding a motorcycle, your opinion on motorcycling would be invalid. |

Do you guys think that this tank bag will fit with the magnets? i emailed the seller and he is unsure but says its universal, im just aware that its not the largest tank and the tank in the picture looks quiet alot bigger.
You could also use for shopping http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORBIKE-...item519adde5fe

From the website: Quote:
* shakes head * P.S. Jack: if you haven't used a tank bag before make sure you don't sit the bag too far forward (towards the wind screen) on the tank. I've done that before and then gone to make a tight turn; the bars stopped on the bag instead of stopping at their normal position and I almost fell off on account of adjusting my weight and speed for a steering level that I couldn't reach. |

Interesting thread. Yesterday I was directed by the spousal CFO to get groceries and to exercise my limited free will, I took the little ninja streamliner to do the deed. I purchased the week's worth of groceries for our family of 3 humans,1 cat and 1 dog and loaded it all on board my bike. It was the most groceries I'd ever carried on my bike but it all got loaaded and safely transported home.

I'm actually leaning towards this. I figure I can do this + roommate who carries large backpack. For hiking trips I like to do, I'm thinking tank bag + bungee cord this down to it: This is my hiking backpack. |

I already have it. I bought it on clearance before getting my bike. I didn't really buy it in any anticipation of getting a bike. It was specifically bought for backpacking trips/day hikes. I've sorta just slapped it on for hiking trips via my motorcycle.

Picked up the MotoCentric Mototrek 19 Tank Bag.
Fits pretty well..build quality is ok. WIll see if it stands up to the test of everyday use. Gotta get a hydration pack now because it has space for one. |

Motorcycle Superstore. I got the magnetic one. It was 76.99. Seems pretty large, but it is also narrow. So wide stuff is out of the picture. My tiny macbook air 11'' fits pretty well thought. It is quite long however.

Ever had your bike towed? Tickets? I've seen parking wars and I couldn't imagine living there.

Why would you be grocery shopping anyways? That's your wife's job. Now I could see it if you run our of beer and she's in active labor or something (early labor would just be a lame-ass excuse), but even then she should have a contingency plan in place. But I guess if she's a bad wife, what are you going to do? Somewhere on the forum there's someone who came up with a beer carrier for the back of their bike.

This is what I use (in black) and I fit a good amount of food in it when I stop to shop. They are bigger than you think. I usually keep them on my bike all summer in case I stop somewhere.
