Bungeeing Stuff to a Mono Seat - How?

I've recently stopped using a rucksack for my commute and therefore I've been bungeeing my bag (a rectangular leather holdall - a bit like a small squashy suitcase) to the tailpiece. However, no matter what way I do it, it doesn't seem very safe because it looks like the bag might eventually work its way off the back end.

Any tips?

I imagine some people will suggest fitting a Ventura rack to brace it against. TBH, I'd rather not get a Ventura because I don't go to work on the Ducati all that often (I have a Hornet for such day to day donkey-work) and so it's not really worth the expense or the effect on the aesthetics.

Thanks.

that's the stuff. Guido used to use it, protects your paint and stops things sliding, add a couple of bungees and you're done.

Your other option is a magnetic tank bag, simple on and off although I personlly don't like things on the tank as my little arms can't reach the bars

The problem is that parking near my local pound shop costs £7.99.

Anyway, I had already, independently, hit on the idea of cutting a bit off an old rubber car mat, but these suggestions have merely confirmed it was not such a daft idea after all.

Please keep the ideas coming.

Cheers!

Unfortunately I can't use a tank bag because it's not just a case of carrying the gear (which in any case wouldn't fit in a tank bag) - I also need the bag itself. My job requires that I adhere to certain conventions with respect to personal attire and accessories, and carrying a tank bag instead of a battered brown leather case would be frowned upon, to say the least.
