A carrier mounted at the rear of a motorcycle is designed to hold a variety of goods, including a special pack that can hold a tent and sleeping bags, and the carrier and pack are designed to minimize interference with good motorcycle travel. The carrier has a front frame section mounted at the rear fender of the motorcycle, a rear frame section which can be locked in forward and rearward positions, and a flexible sheet connecting the front and rear frame sections. The pack is wider and taller than the motorcycle seat, and can be arranged with a recess in its front for receiving the rear of the seat, so that when only one person rides on the motorcycle the pack lies immediately behind the rider to minimize aerodynamic disturbances and to keep the center of gravity forward.
