Hi Shel!
Yep - it�s a Guzzi (v65 Florida, a model not imported to USA). I was thinking along
the same lines as you - a tank bag or a belt of fanny pack of some sorts but tank bag
seems to be the best choice. And my old ME has travelled a lot without any problems
but can MZ-5n take same kind of treatment? And can the 24-90?
All the best!
