Road trip luggage recommendations?
I am familiar with T-Bags and have seen a few variations over the years...but thought I'd ask for any recommendations for bags you like.
Typical trip - 3 to 4 days (typically not camping).
Yeah, I know all of the "depends" points to made here (how much you pack, woman, etc)...just assume a relatively light but prepared pack load.
What do you use (other than Hefty bags)?
Thanks!

I have a Nelson Rigg GWR 1000, because it's kind of a "hard bag." (It's actually a "soft" bag with harder foam sides to keep it's shape.) Buddy of mine has a soft bag on his Tour Pak, and I like the harder sides better. I usually just take a grocery bag, or a heavier larger plastic bag, for dirty underwear & socks, but other than that, just pack tight so things don't slide around.

I have the Sac HD bags, been 100% happy with them. i always put a black bin liner in the large bag and then pack clothes in smaller plastic bags inside that, never ever had water ingress and I'd buy them again tomorrow if i needed new bags.

That's how we pack too. We found a good deal off E-bay for ours. A lot of nice features for the cash. We use ours for non-bike travel.

I prefer having the weight as low as possible and not hanging too far rearward. I have three different size drybags, and when traveling usually use one or two of them strapped (not bungied) to the rear seat and or rear rack. In this picture I have the large and medium one, they're not overly stuffed. They're holding all my camping gear, walking shoes, and pull over fleece. The rest in in the hard bags.

I have a Electra Glide Classic and we pack just enough to put in the bags and trunk. I just recently bought a trailer so we can go longer and carry more. (wife's stuff) and it gives us room if we pick up a couple souvineres.
