get a tank bag... if you got a exposed metal tank, you can get a small magnetic one thats real easy to take with you, if you got a plastic cover over the tank, you got to get a strap one that's a little more troublesome.

There is also tailbags and backpacks to consider. You could also rig a permanant tube or storage space attached to the bike somewhere. Tank bag is the easiest and cheap option though.

Just something KLR riders do around here, they rig PVC pipes that they can cap to store stuff usually hidden from view. Just an quick and dirty storage system that's real cheap.
