Road Gear's magnetic
sports tank bag is a great addition for any rider, offering durable construction
and immense practical use. The bag is made of durable cordura for easy
cleaning and superior strength to nylon or cotton bags, and all zippers
are ykk, a time tested, long-lasting product.
Features include one large
interior pocket as well as two exterior side pockets, ribbed to allow
expansion, and a map pocket. The map pocket is removeable and has a draw
string to double as a carry along tote. All Velcro pockets feature tough
industrial strength Velcro, no lightweight stuff to fly open as you're
cruising. Seven powerful magnets attach the bag firmly to the tank and
the underside is lined with antiskid Toughtek.
Well,
enough of the technical blah-blahing. Being a bartender, I actually carry
a fairly large amount of stuff to work. Road Gear's magnetic sports tank
bag easily fits my mixing cup, flashlight, recipe box (for drinks, not
those pansy brownie recipes!), cell phone, assorted pens and a calculator
along with my wallet, keys and the optional rain cover (and I'm sure there's
a kitchen sink in there somewhere). All that and more without unzipping
the bottom to expand the height off the bag. Even continuous high speeds
and sharp corners don't disturb the powerful magnetic grip of this little
beauty.
With no faring on my bike,
the wind is hitting it dead on and still the bag holds. I was hoping for
some rain to try out the rain cover but no luck there so it was off to
the carwash where, after securing the rain cover and saying a little prayer
that my things wouldn't be ruined by water damage, I proceeded to blast
it with a high pressure rinse. When I ran out of quarters and pulled the
cover off I was pleasantly surprised to find the contents of the bag bone
dry.
In short if you want a quality
tank bag at a reasonable price go visit their website at www.roadgear.com
or give them a call at 1-800-854-4327. $109.90
on their web site.
Oh, and one more thing --
be sure and pick up the rain cover.
Thanks to Mansoor Shafi

out this great little bag.
