I write a blog for a bicycle shop in NYC and recently did a review of a new messenger-style backpack. While testing it, I took it for a few rides on my monster and found that its a perfect backpack for weekend trips on a motorcycle. I thought i would share in case anyone was looking for a good backpack solution:

Always nice to have more choices.
Did you notice any flapping coming from that top cover at moto speed?
Thanks!
I didn't notice and flapping- the strap keeps it down rather well

That's funny.
another bag along the same lines is the chromebags.com the particlar backpack is the backpack Rolltop IVAN sized bag, same concept of a roll top and waiste belt to keep the backpack on.
i have one in the darker green, so if someone is interested i'm selling it, its in practically new condition, so PM me if you are interested.
