A compass and extra socks used to be enough to get me through a long trip. Somewhere along the line I decided I wanted to know where I was going and have a few creature comforts, like toothpaste.
Fieldsheer's Access tank bag has enough room for the basics and a waterproof, transparent, map holder. Even if you have a set of saddle bags, this bit of luggage has some tempting features.
A magnetic base holds the bag on your tank. The Access tank bag can be easily removed by the rider but not the ride, and is equipped with a carry handle so you don't need to unpack your bags to walk away from your bike for the night.
This tank bag has a waterproof shell for rainy days. If you should get stuck in one of those dark-sky hard rains, it has a rain cover with a reflective logo. After all, the weather shouldn't drive us to hide beneath overpasses like stray pups.
The Access is about 5 inches high. If you use the map holder feature, and are dumb enough to look at it while you're riding, you won't have to look down too far, and thus won't have your eyes off the road too long.
Lots of compartments make for easy access to frequently needed items like water and wallets, and the magnetic base is covered so there's no need to worry about damage to your paint. A high quality, easily removable bag is surprisingly convenient if you're exploring the country with frequent stops.
