I just got a bag from Bikers Friend. It is a hard bag that fits on the passenger seat forward of the sissybar. It's held on with bungee straps or reusable zip ties. It is not only a very large bag but a riders backrest with lumbar support as well. It's easily removable and carries like a small duffle. It costs a little over $200 and comes in 4 sizes. I have the XL, it carries almost as much as two regular saddle bags combined, including two full coverage helmets. Worth a look www.bikersfriend.com

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
