RE: laptops and ultras
When I travel on the bike, I put my laptop in my tourpak in the middle of my clothes to prevent damage to it. Does fine and works fine......and it's nice to have the laptop with me with all the free wi-fi around, and I can make adjustments to the DTT if need be on the road.

Being an IT guy, I tote my laptops around in my Ultra. Would not recommend having it powered up - even if in "standby" make sure the hard drive shuts down. Other than that, I toss mine in my laptop case and toss it in the tour pak.

I have never transported one on an ultra but I do have A large aomunt of them (laptops) on Hellicopters Never a problem due to vibration (all Dells). 1000's of hours many lap-tops. Only problem was with heat 130+ temps.

I have to agree . I have traveled all over North America
with my Dell laptop and as long as you shut down your laptop before moving you shouldn't have any issues. Having it wrapped in clothes or a good case can't hurt either.
It's a nice cheap way to keep in contact with family and HD Forums!

I have a nice Oakley backpack that hasprotected pocket for the laptop. Toss it in the tourpack and haven't had any problems, either around town or on long trips.
