Organizer
There's lots of little things I like to carry with me whenever I'm on the motorcycle - first aid and medicines, kleenex, a sprayer and cloth to clean the helmet face shield, etc. In the past, I've kept them in the tank bag, but when I ride around town I rarely mount the tank bag — it's just too much trouble.
While Carole and I were on the NCM trip, I put a bunch of little items into a passport case that Carole got from the travel agent before her Mexican cruise. It worked pretty well. When we got back, I moved all the little things that were floating around in the tank bag into the passport case.
This worked pretty well, but the case was really just one big area with a couple of slip pockets - good, but not ideal. Over the last few days I've researched a few alternatives, and settled on the Outdoor Research Backcountry Organizer 2, seen above.
Now, I can use the organizer to hold everything. When I'm on a tank bag ride, it will fit neatly inside the tank bag, but when I'm going to work I can dump it into the Ogio bag I carry my street shoes in, or I can dump it loose into one of the hard bags.
