Yeah, but you don't plan on living off of your bike for 10 days...

I think I'm gonna order them... and have a tailor her put a zipper inside of one of the side pockets to access the main compartment... that way I'll be able to surely fit my laptop...

when it comes to saddle bags... they're mostly function over form... I say mostly because I'm not gonna mount some big giant aluminum ones on the side that would be 100x better than the sport bags I'm getting... but the point is to take the weight off the rider (no backpack) to reduce fatigue.

if you expect to put any decent miles on your bike while carring gear... you'll want saddle bags... unless your just gonna wear the same shit for 10 days...

Yeah, I know, but I just suck it up and end up sore as chit! Thats why I like rolling with a passenger so she has to carry the bag!!
