Schooooool Bags
Hey guys,
My dads 25 y/o backpack is nut cutting it for me this semester. The thing is falling apart.
So it is time for a new backpack and I am thinking a tank bag.
Anyone know how easy it is to load/remove load/remove the tank bag from the tank a few times a day?
I was thinking an Icon Urban or Icon Primer (the ones with backpack straps)..... anyone have these? I'm fitting a book or two, a notebook, and a tablet pc... Will these be to heavy for a tank bag?
Thanks guys, I'm trying to make a purchase soon!

I have the joe rocket manta tank bag, and to be honest, thats about as big of a tank bag as I would want. I find it annoying to have to remove the tank bag, so removing it 4 times a day would be really unacceptable to me.....
I say just get a decent backpack.....forget the tankbag idea.

Thanks for a speedy response!
I should have added that I have a 45 minute commute and carry about 15 pounds of computer and books. It will be nice to keep it off my back during the ride, and I will just have to lug it around when I'm on campus. That is why I'm looking at the tank bags.

definately get a decent backpack. Keep in mind when your looking to get one that is at least water resistant, if not water proof. Also, make sure if fits good with your jacket on. Some will fit great to your body, but when you put your jacket on, even extending the straps, the pack sits wrong. Usually,backpacks with a third strap that runs across your chest and connects the two shoulder straps willwork out well. It keeps the back pack located.

Gonna have to agree with the backpack idea. I think it is less distracting to have 15lbs on your back, than in front of you while riding. Especially on a sportbike.
But it might be right up your alley. You might be a sport-tourer deep down, and love having a tank bag. lol
The other reason for me, at least, is wear and tear on the tank itself. I´m just weird that way, though.
