I've carried a laptop in Kriega bags a lot. Used plenty of padding, clothing etc, on both sides. I tightened down the bag's own straps a bit, but also used separate straps which I fed through the loops on the 'bottom' of the bag where they don't compress the contents, and around the grab rails on my bike. Maybe you can find something on your bike to attach to in this way?
That was with a 30l bag, and another 20l attached on top, full with all the gear I needed for touring. 4 extra straps total. I put the laptop in the top bag, attached the straps through the loops on the bottom of that one. The two bags were connected together with the clips provided for that purpose. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

well..i suppose you could buy a laptop briefcase type of thing..they are better padded then most rucksacks.
Could roll it in bubble wrap packaging, i guess..(cheap n cheerful)
may even find with either choice, it then fits INTO the rucksack, for easy of carrying once off bike.
I've carried all types of officey shite on the bike.
Most cargo netted to rear seat (do have topbox) but that just felt better for a Laptop.
Personally wouldn't ride with a rucksack, carry anything.
And IF you come off, while wearing it , i think the laptop is the least of your worries.
Only the gods will decide if you choose the cargo net route, if its protected enough, while still attached to bike as it slides.rolls up road. ____________________ Previous bikes: Suzuki GT250A / Yamaha DT125 / NTV Honda 650 // currently Suzuki RF900 |

I crashed with my backpack on with a laptop in, I survived as did the laptop.
They make Macbook pros pretty strong it worked a bit like a back protector. ____________________ "no I didn't steal it that's just the way I ride" |

I stick my laptop in it's carrier, put it in my Halfar messenger bag and bungee it to the seat (or carry it on my back). Been doing it for 10 years or more. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

I too have no qualms about using a rucksack, but, a top box is better, as well, just more comforatble.. Needn't spend a fortune on a topbox either, although, I guess the rpice goes up if you need o factor in a rack as well..

I've got a couple of these, or their clones, perfectly good enough to carry a laptop, and, when you get to your destination, replace the laptop with your helmet & gloves etc ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |
