    Tell me the truth guys, I,ve put a utility bag/belt that also holds a spare visor on my xmas list. My wife thinks its funny that I want a bum bag and she wants to know if I want a shell suit to go with it. What is the general thoughts on this, will I look a dick wearing one or is it a practical solution to having no under seat storage.

    I don't want to look a dick head????

    I would probably wear 1 actually on long hauls as i cant wear a back pack coz of the hump on my leathers and last time i put stuff in my seat storage the cover blew off and all my stuff blew out the back of the bike .

    I hate tank bags so a utility belt is the only option now

    Calling it a utility belt doesn't make you Batman.

    I call it my Visor Holder! Great pieces of kit. I usually carry phone, wallet, dairy milk, Visor, neck tube, loose change, charger for scala rider, bottle of holy water and cloth.

    Few pals have kreiga ones, great bits of kit. But does look a bit crap IMO..

    I prefer a small rucksack.... Don't ever go out without my r15... Think they are more secure and can hold more in it!!

    I've got a great Fuji film one. It was one of their freebie promo items years ago. It lives in the 'Blades boot, and it can unroll into a water resistant rucksack if it's normal capacity isn't enough. It means I don't have to worry about not being able to impulse buy when I'm out on the bike.

    Whatever is practical for you to carry stuff in, but think about what you carry and where you put it. Landing on it if you get knocked off could cause back problems!!!
