      Second vote for any bag from tom bihn. I have 2 and another on order plus lots of accessory organizers. Great stuff.

        The Collection is growing, slow but steady. The Backpack started it all 7-8 Years ago, then i bought the RG 3-4 Years Ago and now the Rack-Pack 89 because i needed a Bag that can carry Work and Leisure Clothes and Shoes for at least a Week. No Wheels or Frame because its 95% of the time going to be transported in the Trunk of my car.

          Nice one.  I'd be embarrassed to post my collection  🙂 🙂

            There is no shame in buying quallity german made products. I will get some more in the future when travel/my work picks up again. I´m eying the "Big Zip" for longer (work) trips in the winter when I need even more gear, I cant stand the traveling with two Bags and three Totes situation anymore  😃 I hate looking like i got kicked out of my house when checking into an Hotel  😉

                Has anybody owned a goruck GR1 and would be happy to share their thoughts? I’m considering one, I bought a blue de chauffe woody less than a year ago thinking it would be the one, but and am finding it to be a bit pants, want the next one to be right!

                      Hi Iron Baggers

                      I'm looking for recommendations on a good quality backpack or messenger for motorcycle riding.

                      I am a retro old geezer and prefer leather.

                      Thanks in advance

                          Thanks @endo  yeah they are the sort of think I'm looking at. I can't work out what their lead time is from the website primarily in Japanese

                            I like this Vasco, but sold out at one UK retailer I looked at

                            This Horsehide McCoys is pretty sick too, pretty sick price as well … thankfully sold out

                              I like the Kasperi backpacks. But they look like they ride quite high, which might be a problem with a motorcycle helmet. I don't know how far they can be rolled down.

                              Frank Clegg do some nice leather backpacks. I'd check out the one of a kind range, as they currently have a 25% discount on them.

                              Racing Atelier are a more modern take. It's best to check them out on Instagram as the website only shows one of the three or four styles of rucksack that they do.

                              Mathias Steinhauser posted an awesome deerskin rucksack to his Instagram feed. I don't know anything about it, but I want it.

                              The Vasco bags look lovely, Herz do a range of leather bags, and Bleu de Chauffe are another option.

                                If they're all too cheap, then there's the Bole Tannery Prince Rucksack. This is really lovely, but costs €5,000…

                                  I'm happy with the one I have.  It's been 7/8 years now and I use it mostly as a travel pack.  It gets the job done and has proven to be pretty bombproof

                                        @Graeme  - thanks very much for those recommendations ! Except for the Bole - there is a hole in my heart after seeing that  😢 😃

                                          I’ve owned a GR1 for a few years. I think mine is the smaller 21L version. I’ve found the GR1 ideal as an all weather commuting daypack and large enough for a weekend or short break away - but I like to travel light!

                                          Just enough internal/external pockets while keeping it simple.

                                          The GR1 is quite heavy when empty but very comfortable to wear, even over one shoulder, which I prefer.

                                          Aestheticallly, I think the design is excellent - form follows function etc etc …

                                          Build quality is excellent imo.
