Re: Laptop Transport

One question: what kind of laptop do you use?  There's a lot of variation in
sizes out there, and I'm curious to see what will fit in one of these tail
bags.  (On some days, I have to carry two laptops...boy, does wearing a
backpack SUCK then...)

I've been commuting for 18 months with a laptop nearly every day. I use the
Tour Master Cortech Sport Tail bag (
http://www.tourmaster.com/product.html?sku=82-417), secured to the rear seat
with Rok Straps (http://www.rokstraps.com/motorbike_tailored.html) in an
X-Pattern to the four downward facing pegs. Works great, the Rok straps make
it part of the bike. The bungee cords that come with the tail bag are
essentially useless. I also sheath the laptop in a neopreme padded sleeve
inside the tail bag.  It's a cheap and cheerful alternative to the hard top
box like the Givi.

Sorry guys I just can't help thinking that Givi top box detracts from the
overall line of the bike and makes it look ungainly and lop-sided.  But
that's just one man's opinion. Which is why when I get saddle bags, it'll be
the RKA soft bags. I don't want any more "stuff" to have to take off for
track days. I've got enough work now to go from commuter bike to track day
bike, I don't need any more dis-incentives.
