    Kitbag.

    I need something huge - huge enough to take my 1-piece leathers,
    helmet, boots and gloves.

    Any ideas where I can get something?

    There's only one answer: the Oxford Paddock Sack:

    I've got one and /all/ my gear for a weekend away goes in it,
    including the tent. They say it isn't suitable to be strapped to a
    bike, but I did home to Pembrey and back on the RF, with the pillion's
    gear netted onto the top of the sack, without any probs. And that
    included a fairly serious high-speed stint up the M4 when we were
    getting tired and cold and wanted to get home.

    I wouldn't use bungees to hold it on when stuffed full, mind. Ratchet
    straps are where it's at, baby.

    Andy has a northface version of this which he bought from the
    climbing shop in Stony Stratford and uses it for all his trips away.

    I bought one of these about half an hour ago

    It's fucking massive, I could live in the cunting thing. My 1-piece
    leathers, helmet, boots, gloves, wash kit, a towel and a full change of
    clothing fit in with huge amounts of room to spare.

    Have a look at places the supply stuff to the building trade. Generally
    their kitbag type stuff is a quarter of the price of equivalent bags
    sold elsewhere - and if it's the more expensive type of bag then it's
    almost guaranteed to take a nuclear explosion before falling to pieces.

    Camera bags used on film sets cost around the £160 mark. Go to a
    builders merchant and get an almost identical bag for £55 that's
    probably harder wearing.
