It's so nice to just pull up to the pump and fuel. I have a small handlebar bag for earplugs and everyday use items. My small 7x7 removable windshield bag has a small headlamp and recharging cords. Over the years I have found that tankbags are nothing more than a crap holder. The deciding factor was when I took my beast in the dirt. Almost a 10lb tankbag up high and unable to move around when standing ended up in disaster. My new bags are less than 1lb total!! This is more like it.
I consider myself a solid novice. I cannot understand how some of the guys can ride these things while standing with a tankbag attached? How do you get over the tank and weight the front end for sharp turns? I've seen some pretty hard core pictures of guys loaded with huge tankbags taking the Super Tenere in unsafe conditions. I figure it's not worth the risk. My bike is handling much better without it. I do understand having one if you are seated all the time. I suggest to anyone that they go through their tankbag. You will see how much junk accumulates over time. If you can't name off every item in the tankbag without looking then it's too full.
Mission accomplished!!
