Bags / Trunks / Travel Gear

I've seen a few posts lately about different ideas regarding travel bags & trunks. Thought I'd share this one. It's a Kury bag from Wing stuff.

I see a polar bear in a blizzard.

I really like that bag... the Kury Gran Traveller. Its' appeal, to me, is the possibility for multiple uses... like using it as a carryon bag when flying. However... it's just SLIGHTLY too big and will likely get rejected from most international flights and is even too big for the new domestic rules.

Considering that there's really not a lot that distinguishes a "motorcyle" bag like this, I mean there's really not many special features compared to a "regular" bag, I think I'm gonna pick a good carryon bag that I can use for flights... and then make it perform double duty as my bike bag.

This bag is expandable, you could use it as a flight bag. In the pics it appears to be fully expanded.

Have you used it as carry-on bag on a commercial flight?

New guidelines were issued in 2014 requiring bags to be smaller; I *think* it's a little bit over that limit.

Based on the zipper line in the last photo, I'd say from that point up can be compressed, which should make it small enough for flight.

Just for the record, the Kury Gran Traveller is 22" x 17" x 11" in the uncompressed form.

The de facto carry on limit is 22" x 14" x 9" for domestic flights and 21" x 14" x 9" for international.

I agree you'll *probably* be fine most of the time; I've traveled for years with a slightly oversized bag and, even on jam packed flights, was never ever singled out for a bag measurement but I'd like to be compliant if it ever happens.

I guess I'm asking if I'm missing something...

These motorcycle specific bags may have D-rings for strapping it down and more convenient small storage compartments for motorcycle use, but I don't see anything else that compels me to get a "bike" bag as opposed to a "regular" bag. I have a good complement of Rok Straps that I think could secure a bag even without the extra D-rings.

A quick question.....Does the antenna clear the bag?
