Laptop and Motorcycling
 

I need to carry my laptop to construction sites, to office, to home... and I'd like to commute with my bike, instead of taking a car, bus, tram. I now have a backpack with some soft things inside so that the computer would be more cozy. If I drop the pack I'll just a have a lot of computer parts.

Any ideas? I hate top boxes, but I guess they would do the job. I was also thinking of getting a "hard duty" plastic suitcase, custimize the padding to accept the computer and then create fixing points so that I could use it as a "saddle pack". Probebly the computer would still survive low speed drops, I don't really care what happens if done from 60+.

Any tried and tested solutions?

Cheers,

Ville

why dont you just put it in your rucksack inside the laptop case? I cant imagine it would get damaged unless you came off.

Baglux (or Bagster as they are now I believe) make tank bags that are larger than the oxford offerings, you should be able to get one in there. Not the cheapest option, but hey...

My daughter carries her laptop around in a Baglux bag on the tank of her Gixer 600.

get lissa to make you a laptop box for your bike...

Humm this could be an interesting idea...
not a topbox but a slender laptop box.

He needs a Scouse Laptop box like those brightly stickered up C90s have.

I came in today with my laptop in my laptop bag, which was then inside my backpack. Fits pretty well and theres space for a ham sandwich too. Take your laptop bag to the backpack shop for 100% surety.

No more ham sandwiches for me though, all gone now.

PS - I'd also recommend you use some kind of backup (I use Carbonite), cos if you do have a drop (or worse) you'll be less than pleased if you break the hard drive...

I have to take mine to Uni which is why I bought Brian the Snail:

No, really, that was the reason I bought it. ;)

Hey - luggage just doesn't go with the 'Blade OK. :oops:

The one advantage I did find with it was that being hard, lockable luggage, the contents are covered by the bike's insurance.
