Abstract

A tear-drop shaped article carrying bag adapted to be supported on the flat top of a motorcycle fuel tank is formed of a closely woven fabric and has a zipper extending about the line of attachment of the top to the two sides and the narrow front end so that when opened the top lifts forward, as a flap, about the line of attachment to the narrow forward end. A transparent map protector is sewn over the top and access to the area between the protector and the top is attained through a slit formed in the top when the bag is opened. The bottom of the bag rests on a resilient pad with a hole for the protruding fuel cap. A pair of straps surround the pad and the tank and have short auxiliary strap sections extending from their sides which pass through D-rings attached to the bottom of the bag to releasably secure the bag to the tank.
