Hmm some good ideas, so many options! lol.

exavid - I too am left handed for all it's practicality / legality :D
 
I carry my Keltec P-11 in a Desantis pocket holster, right front pocket.

I ride every day and haven't had a 4-wheeler for years. Due to sweat, I spend alot of time working to keep rust off the slide. Some day, I'm gonna have it plated.

Due to spending time in urban traffic daily, like the mighty Mosin-Nagant, I am now impervious to oppression.........
 
I have one the special CC vests huge pockets on both sides that will even hide my HK USP, but it is long and large enough that I still simply wear my pancake and iTAC mag pouch and it hides them just fine.....:D
 
I keep the LC9 in a tank bag. I know someone who went down with a wallet in his chest area pocket and broke every rib that was under that wallet. So wearing the gun does not seem smart to me. When I get off the bike, the LC9 is small enough to fit into the pocket of my riding pants.
 
You know, I like the tank bag concept, but I have no desire to be taking my gun off and putting it on all the time.
On the one hand, you're playing with a gun in public
On the other, admin handling while distracted seems to be almost asking for a ND in the long run
And on the gripping hand, do you ALWAYS have your tank bag along?

Magnetic tankbag? Take it with you (man bag) when you get off.
 
My wife carries hers in her windshield bag. It was an old conceal carry hipsack I had that finally gave up the ghost. She repaired it, placed a thin strip of metal on the inside, drilled holes to line up with the screws on her windscreen, and bolted it on from the inside. she has a small, sturdy lock on the zipper, and never leaves it in the bag when she is away from her bike. She has hard saddlebags, and also has a holster glued to the inside lid that she made, has a velcro strap to secure her firearm. The saddlebags lock, although cheap locks and lid (with little force) c/b pulled open. When we take road trips, we are always armed and able.

We both ride cruisers. Hers is a Yamaha Classic 650. Mine, HD. So, if you see a Yam-a-hog with a determined woman:p riding, be nice, she is armed!! :eek:
 
I usually carry in a chest holster. I am an adventure rider and usually have a tek-vest on.

Oh, yes, I'd go magnetic or some other quick-detach method, surely.

I just don't always take the same luggage along on the bike. Heck, currently the most-used piece of "motorcycle luggage" is a big lunchbox cooler with a rigid inner shell that happens to fit the rear seat almost perfectly.
Luckily it matches the bike's color and doesn't look too terribly silly under the bungee net behind me.
But sometimes I load up a backpack which I may or may not put on the bike instead of on me.
And sometimes I just use the installed saddlebags, but I know that in a wreck they're likely to be sacrificed - and I don't want to be stranded, injured, and unarmed ... particularly if billy-bob ran me off the road in his truck-o-saurus

Plus with ANY bag I'd be taking the gun off and putting it on - I don't like doing that in the privacy of my car, let alone standing out in the open. The gun is safer than anywhere else on my person in a proper holster, monkeying around with it in between bag holster and belt holster doesn't appeal to me, and neither does a crappy holster that fits into a bag, I like my SuperTuck but I don't like storing it in limited space and I don't like putting the whole damn holster on in public, my carry methods are secure but not quick-on or quick-off.
 
For me the gun has to be on my person or locked in a secure compartment on the bike. The GW has a glovebox with a lock that will fit a compact .380 then there's always the saddlebags or trunk. I wouldn't want my CCW on a detachable bag or whatever because more than once I've forgotten and left my clipped on GPS on the bike. I wouldn't want to forget and leave a pistol in a detachable bag.
