Does anyone know of any backpacks that double as magnetic tank bags?
I used to commute to college with a backpack before I knew any better. If you crash with a loaded backpack on, it can increase your chances of back/spine injuries. Think of when you would roll down a hill as a kid - now picture that while wearing a backpack, and tumbling at 50mph. If you do go with a backpack, at least bungee it to the rear seat.
You could always just buy this guy's Givi hard bags to haul your stuff in

Have to plug my new bag, it's been working great. Hazard4 Evac Rocket. It's a sling backpack with a very wide, cushioned, and solid strap. It's also much taller than it is wide so your weight load is spread out more evenly diagonal across your back.
There's a secondary stability strap that connects to the main one to keep it from slipping down and around accidentally. It's very easy and quick to unclip that strap and swing the whole bag around to your front, without taking it off. This allows you to stay seated on your bike and access the whole pack without taking it off, which is great for me.
It's well built with a warranty. Lots of pockets and molle straps for adding extra pouches. Also has a hydration reservoir pouch.
