Reddit reviews Condor 3 Day Assault Pack (Black, 3038-Cubic Inch)

I just checked out pics of your bike. I'd go with a set of soft bags, try to get the straps under the seat if you can for passenger comfort. You'll also want them riding towards the rear so that her legs have room to comfortably sit on the pegs.

Look into a nice big tank bag if you don't have one already. They can hold a surprising amount of stuff. Look into Coretech, Nelson Rigg, etc. If you don't like any of the tank bags (not big enough etc) [I recently taught my bike how to hold this backpack like a tank bag] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VRKWR4/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). You can even do a cargo net with any old backpack or duffle that fits on your tank well enough.

A sissy bar with a luggage rack would be great for light things. You could put a little backpacking style tent back there, sleeping bags. I'd keep it to maybe 10 or 15 pounds max. The sissy bar also gives you a place to put a little pillow for your passenger for a long ride. My girlfriend wouldn't ride without one.

[Aerostich makes these] (http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-tank-panniers.html) which you might find helpful. I've been told they sag if you put a heavy load in them, but they add options.

Cargo nets, bungee cords and 550 cord are your friends. Trash bags and ponchos can make decent rain covers. Any luggage is motorcycle luggage if you're clever enough =). Best of luck on your adventures.

Mine is Condor the brand.

Here is a link for reference. I think I formatted it correctly.

Not really a gig bag, but I have this backpack that can hold an unbelievable amount of stuff inside of it. I am pretty sure those three would fit just fine - I recall being able to fit an iRig Keys 37 (about the same length as MicroKorg, and longer than Bass Station 2) and a NI Maschine + my MBP 15".

Maybe a little pricey, but you can see the reviews - this backpack is built to last. I've had it for about 2.5 years and it's still holding up as if I bought it yesterday.

I've had this bag for years and absolutely love it. It is pretty big which I like because because I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs. My wife explains backpack theory best "the turtle shell needs to fit the turtle"

I hear people say bad things about Condor. I think it's because they don't cost a ton so there's an idea that they are low quality. I've had nothing but good experience with this bag.

I use this. Unbeatable for the price. Get a nasty bag for after class when you put your gi away.

If you're getting one of the Costco backpacks, I actually have both of the models they sell in my own local store and ended up liking the cheaper of them better than the more expensive. For one thing, it's a bit lighter on its own than the model that has the heavy duty handle on top. Also, (again, if it's the one I'm thinking of) the zipper pull tabs on the expensive one are all metal. My fiance uses that pack daily for work and I can always here the tink-tink-tink of those things clattering off of one another. The less expensive model has held up for me for the past 3 years or so of being my back and forth to work bag, with the worst bit of wear being that the zipper pull tab I use most often detached.

For about a $20 difference, I am getting ready to order a couple of these shortly. The reviews on that pack are very positive, so it's something else to look at with a similar price.

Yes, I've been using one of these for a little less than a year now, and it has stood up to far more abuse than I ever thought it could handle.

I thought it would fall apart because it's cheap, but it has been an absolute beast!

The first one is over 2x bigger than the second.

Another placeholder. My priciest item is only $50, can I add something new? If not, no biggie.

either way, a proper entry soooooooon!

Proper entry start:

1. The thing!
   
   
2. The person: My daughter. She's just an astounding little creature that continues to blow my mind at every turn. She can be difficult, willful and temperamental, sure, but as frustrating as it can be, it's like watching a puppy or kitten learning to hunt. Every day I watch her get a little smarter, a little cleverer, a little more creative, and it's truly amazing beyond words to watch her grow like this. I never thought I'd be so eager to sit and watch someone grow. I know she has the potential to become... beyond amazing, amazing to the rest of the world and not just to her mother and I. All that pales in comparison to how awesome, truly awesome, the tiny things she does. Like how she'll hide behind me when she's scared, but she'll still peek out and growl. How she'll be there, her face an inch away from mine, when I first wake up, and she'll whisper "morning Papa you're so handsome I love you can I watch cartoons?". How can I cope with that level of cute? I even love the way that whenever she has three of anything, crackers, toys, rocks, anything, she always declares the biggest to be the Papa, the middle sized one to be the Momma, and the smallest one to be the baby. Everything should be like her little family, and every time she does it I make rather unmanly sounds of happy.
   
   
3. A terrible but effort filled picture will go here soon!
   
   
4. Emm... 333. I suck at these number guessing bits.
   
   
5. DONE!

[This one] (https://www.amazon.com/KAKA-Tactical-Backpack-Travel-backpack/dp/B01KHJ8S8Y) is pretty cheap, if you don't want too much space for other things.
