Looking for a decent sized bumbag so i dont have to wear a backpack any recommendations?

I have an Oxford Lifetime Luggage one, very sturdy and roomy. It's done about 50K miles with me over the past 6/7 years and still looks good, all the zips are intact and the belt still good. A big plus is the built in visor pocket for your spare visor.

The only thing to check is if your visor fits into the built in visor pocket, mine does not quite but does into other bags of the same make/model! So it seems there is some variation in dimensions, so try a few if your visor don't fit into the pocket.

Cheers LP will have a look at one of those. Its mainly to hold waterproofs, (if needed) drink, map etc.

Ahh it's not that big! Mine has wallet / change purse / keys / first aid kit / visor wipes / camera / mini-binoculars / some other stuff. Waterproofs get bungied to the seat.

Constructive...

I have a Karrimoor one (can't remember the name) that I use for wallet, keys and other odds and ends when I need them, mainly because I can't fit stuff in the pockets of my leathers. Only cost a fiver, and it's waterproof too.

Wouldn't take waterproofs or a visor though, I still stick with a rucksack for them big items.
