Just for short outings etc for all the crap you don't want in your pockets.
Any recommendations?

Does the job. Maybe a bit big for just your phone and wallet while you’re out for a ride but when I went on an extended trip it was big enough to store my pants and socks in as well as a load of other stuff.
Get a magnetic tank bag of the size you think you need. They’re all pretty similar really and don’t cost that much.

Not a very good picture of the tank bag but at least the bikes clean. :)

I got a magnetic tank bag from Aldi a few years back and it is still serving me well. I don't seem to be able to master the art of travelling light so it gets nearly full just on a day trip with flask, camera, first aid kit, and other junk. You can increase capacity with a separate zip off section underneath the main section, but I found that makes it too high and floppy so I don't use that and rely on panniers/top box for extra capacity on longer trips. Aldi usually have the motorbike stuff early in the fine weather riders season.

That bike is indeed very clean! ha ha!
