Have two of the First Gear bags and one of the Wolfman.
All of them are absolutely excellent in protection from the elements!

Looking around some more, I came across these (again, very similar, but not motorcyce specific). They have a bunch of different sizes. http://www.overboardusa.com/duffels/waterproof-duffels.html

I got a D38 Dryspec bag from Twisted Throttle for the Inzane trip. It can go to the bottom of a pool and contents stay dry. Use it on the supervalk, it will not easily fit on an IS backseat (except end to end, thus blocking the trunk from opening). Rigid core holds it's shape full or empty so it does not droop over the bag lids while travelling (perfect for the solo rack). Only negative is that the roll up opening is a bit difficult to load thru, you have to load smaller amounts of stuff, not all your stuff in one big pile. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/dryspectm-d38-rigid-waterproof-motorcycle-dry-bag-in-black-grey-or-orange

I used to ride with a T Bag set up (vertically) just like that, then I went solo. Discovered that I could travel much easier with the T Bag in the prone position. Top heavy no longer, caught less wind and better rearward vision. Now, I rarely load up the bike for travel, I use my pull behind. The bike is naked and the trailer makes the journey much nicer. Wish I had gone this route years ago. |

So here we are, Rainman, his wife Diana, Hal, Gavin and Dennis, sitting at McDonalds getting some quick breakfast for out ride home after this year's Inzane. We watch Rams pull up in front of our bikes with his Valk and trailer. He gets off and begins to walk away towards the McDonalds. We're all watching through the window as Ram's whole rig begins to roll down hill and then his bike falls over . There was no way we could warn him.  |

Pulled up, put the kick stand down, key off in neutral. Was off the bike and at least 10 steps away when I heard it fall. Obviously, I didn't hear it start to roll. Several lessons learned that morning. Luckily, no damage to bike. |
