I have some soft Oxford panniers, and will be going off for a trip to Luxembourg, Germany and France in a weeks time, and will no doubt want to visit the odd chateau/shop/cave/museum etc. Don't fancy lugging all my gear around with me every where I stop.
Thanks,

having just got back from france i too faced a simmillar sittuation, however i simply put all my valubles in the tank bag, whenever i stopped it came of the bike with me, this way if they nicked therest of it all they would have got was clothes and a wash kit, as my clothes were insured it makes little odds exept the inconveniance, but bare in mind unless your going out to very rural areas you will find somewhere that sells clothes.
other than that theres the obvious, leave it in populated areas etc etc. outside wher eyou are staying that sort of thing...
hpe that helps
