And a good thing for packing anything. I get the zippered plastic bags they sell pillows, blankets, etc in at stores. Many different sizes. I have a set for my Aero Tank panniers, one for each of my tank bags, several for packing my clothing in before putting them in my saddle bags. Makes it easy to see what's where and keep things seperate. Mine come from WalMart. Andy in Louisiana

cycoactive.com has exactly what you are looking for. The open seam closes with velcro. I have stuffed as many as three atlases in there, and it is tough enough to bungee on top of your luggage.

I have one of these dry bags (links below) that I use for scuba diving. It keeps my logbook, documents, etc., dry. I don't know if they have something big enough for a DeLorme Atlas. http://tinyurl.com/4dr7h http://tinyurl.com/66bkp (hit next page to see more bags) HIH Bryan

I also use Mobil Uno cage and have mostly for over 50k miles. The long ago article in MCN influenced my choice. Also it allows me to go an extra thousand miles or so between changes with a clear conscience while traveling.( I usually change every 3k ) But........You use way more oil with a synthetic. My last change using dyno was in Mexico where they didn't have Mobil 1. I used some Quaker State product. I bet I used less then half the oil I usually do. 1 oz per 100 miles - let's see that's 30 ozs per 3k miles; less than a qt ! What are you worried about ? Switch to dyno if it bothers you so much. Valve seals, naw but maybe tonight I'll have a martini. Bogdan
