If you are not riding a dresser, a bag pack is still the preferred way to transport your daily cargo. You can use any models or be interested by this new quite stylish one conceived by bikers for bikers. Constructed with a ballistic nylon body and a tough polycarbonate shell, the new Skull Hard Pack Backpack from the Harley-Davidson® MotorClothes® line wraps your extra cargo in protective style.
The double-zipper compartment features a removable pouch for added convenience. Padded areas on the back are matched by adjustable chest and waist straps for extra comfort and a secure fit. Measures 14 x 18 x 8 inches and comes with printed graphics on the front and back.
The Skull Hard Pack Backpack will be available only in February at most Harley-Davidson dealerships or call 800-LUV.2RIDE to find one near you in the U.S. or Canada. (you can still get it for Christmas via a HD Gift Card)
Yep, keep them barefoot commie kids busy willie boy!
Man, I have to wear a back pack when I ride to work because I have to take my laptop back and forth and I hate it. Makes me feel like an idiot wearing it. This thing is just ugly and that hard shell adds weight. Still, wearing a backpack beats having big ass bulky saddle bags.
Great for the Scooter Crowd, what are they called (Mods), I’m a Rocker, Cyrill and so is most of your Army !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hard shell is a pretty good idea. And no, it doesn’t mean much heavier, and can prevent a lot of aggravation
I bet there’s a matching lunchbox inside…
Kind of fugly looking
Lose the gay skull and I might have an interest….
I hate that gay scull….I think the Harley logo should have stayed as the eagle, they way it was!!! This is the kind of stuff that embaress me being a biker…….designer crap!!!!
Ugly, rather rock a tumi..
Harley should have a focus group that tells them not to put skulls on EVERYTHING.
Yippee! A Harley bookbag. Now I know what I want next year from Santa.
Another example of how Harley is out of sync with the motorcycle community.
WTF with the skull ? …… I wanta be tooling down the road on my 68FLH with Spongebob on my back .
Not a bad idea. Why it’s so limited to Feb is beyond me. I ride the wife’s nightster to work sometimes and if i don’t run the tank bag I run a backpack. depends on how much I have to take with me. Wife uses it too. I run a free buell backpack I got years ago. Here’s a pic of the wife with it, coming home from work.

good grief!!!!!!!!!!
Made in the USA????????????????????????
Great for kids!
Understand Gents… that as HD pushes the sporty’s to the 20 somethings, items like this are going to pop up. It’s all on par for the style they are aiming for.
As long as people are willing to pay stupid money to buy stupid shit, HD will be there for them.
When will the introduce the Sponge Bob Square Pants and Miley Cyrus editions?
I think the back pack is a good idea because anyone who wants to ride to and from work or say go on a trip without a bagger, will need something to haul their things with(I know most the old timers don’t use laptops much but the kids these days do). The bag also needs to have a hard shell otherwise the wind gets in it and acts like a parachute.
I think what Harley is missing is that the younger generation doesn’t really care about the “Harley” name. They care about cool and being different. That is why they buy the sport bikes, because they are inexpensive, look ultra-aggressive and can be modified/customized relatively cheap(flush mount signals, new decals, new bubble screen, exhaust, etc. is not very expensive and can be done at home)
Nothing says bad to the bone like a cartoon skull on a grade schooler’s backpack.
I never understood why so many Harley owners cover their bikes in skulls. Since the skull is the universal symbol for death, are they trying to send the message that they’re into death? That they’re dispensers of death who should be feared?
Funny how the more skulls someone has on their bike, the wimpier they usually are, just like the more Live to Ride crap they have the fewer the miles on their odometer. Wishful thinking perhaps?
All this bitchin about the skull… give it a rest already. If you don’t like the factory finish, just paint it for crying out loud.
Wonder if there’s a plaid Thermos inside? That thing is very sad.
And who is the child around here? It may not be the guy or woman purchasing the back pack.
