Tank bag or backpack? - Page 3

My First choice is always the Tail Bag then Tank Bag .. then Back Pack. Perhaps it is just my Riding style but at Highway Speeds the Tumi Motorcycle Back Pack I received as a gift feels like a sail

depends on what you have in them... I rode with my M.U.L.E. camelback backpack all day sat and sun... put about 350 miles (200 on Sun) forgot it was back there... but I only had water an a couple tools...

also depends on your riding position i imagine...

Backpack all the way.

I'm not about to buy something like a tank bag when I have back packs kicking around.

I understand where a lot of people are coming from, but I'm just the type to make what I already have do the job.

And I did about 8 hours with it on this summer, and I couldn't tell it was there after a while anyway. By that time, my back and legs are cramping up.

I use a backpack mostly, but also have a small duffel bag that I can bungee down on the passenger seat.

Tank bag. Backpacks are bad for your back.

I use tankbag. back packs always seem uncomfortable over gear and I feel as though they are "pulling" as I'm riding.
