What do you do with your gear?

Oddly enough... I've done that several times. Wife and kids in the van and I'm on the bike... meet at Chick-Fil-A and gear goes in the van.

Done exactly that when meeting with mates at the cinema. Get changed in the carpark and throw kit in their boot.
Otherwise my tank bag is capable of carrying my textile overtrousers, gloves and buff along with the normal kit I carry in it.
So I get off, take off the textile stuff, pull my normal trousers/jeans out of my motorcycle boots (they're black leather without the naff plastic bits on my toes) and then my lower half looks perfectly normal.
Roll my over trousers up, shove into tank bag, gloves on top, zip up. Wear jacket into the place, tank bag has a shoulder strap and I either carry the helmet or if it's in a decent area I sometimes use the helmet lock.
Leaving me with just my tank bag and my jacket.

i have been told there is a tank bag that you can take off of your bike and it turns into a back pack, i havent exactly looked for it yet but thats what i've been told....that would be kinda convenient though
That's what I have, but I use it as a tailbag if I'm passengerless.

wow thats one big bag!.... lol
Not so much in it's smallest form. It's a little smaller than my laptop bag when not expanded.
I can't ride with anything like that. A backpack is about all I can stand.
I actually like it as a tailbag. Can't even tell it's on there. It has a velcro strap I run under the passenger seat. Goes on and off quick and has good capacity.

I got myself a top box, that's perfect size for my helmet and is secure to the bike, so I usually leave my helmet in the box and just walk around with my gear on or shoved into a back pack.
That's a great concept, but it's rather ugly on the bike, and doesn't look particularly comfortable as a backpack either. I'm sure it's functional as all get out though.

I bring all my stuff in the store with me except maybe my helmet which i lock on the bike. Sometimes, i just grab a cart and bring that with me too. Since I have a $400 helmet, $100 gloves and $400 jacket, im not just leaving it for anyone to take, lol.
