I just became aware of "tool tubes" for motorcycles, (okay, so maybe I'm a little slow, but bear with me here), which are basically PVC pipe or metal tubes with secure lids on them to be attached to the bike somehow, somewhere, in elegant or rough ways depending on your particular needs and personality. Bluepoof (I should have guessed) has a great writeup on making her own 3-inch PVC Tool Tube for the F650GS. Otherwise you can buy a kit online from a place like GT Moto Products who sell them for BMWs or a universal kit for other bikes. I also found a couple on eBay. I think it's a brilliant alternative to tool bags, since I always carry more than will fit under my seat, and yes, it's always possible that a sharp tool will tear the fabric and you'll scatter them all over the road. Always fun for you and the tailgaters…
