+1 on the Wally World Waterproof bag. I've got the large one, and can put my sleeping bag and other items I don't want to get wet. It folds over and compacts, and is great for keeping things dry. It's florescent yellow, but, that's OK. THey're cheap enough, and pretty much bullet proof.

Cabella's and REI CoOp both sell excellent dry bags.

I just went to Bass Pro and picked up there water proof bags. Thick PVC with a fold and seal opening.

We went thru some heavy rain for 3 days solid and nothing inside it got wet.

Not sure the brand but you will know once you see them.

if you don't want to be seen with trash bag luggage, pick out a nice pretty bag and use a trashbag as a liner.

I went to the local REI and they helped me find the perfect bags, made just for that -- even though I was using them for the exact opposite reason. I keep my soaking wet hydration vests in the bags for the rides in the 110+ summer. The bags a clear plastic, sturdy and should last for years & years barring a puncture.

Here's another SealLine testimonial....During a road trip I once washed my bike at a manual car wash to get bugs off the front end. I was bone tired and didn't feel like removing my SealLine from the bike. Later on, when I checked my clothes at a motel, they were completely dry. I don't think I'd try this with any other bag.

The SealLine, Sea to Summit and Cabela's Boundary Waters II bags are all very good - I have and use them all depending on what I am doing. I have a few different versions of the Boundary bags and I like the "Regular" sized duffel; it's easy to tote into a hotel or tent when you dismount from the bike. It fits perfectly on my tour pack rack or on my back seat if solo, as do the medium and large sized roll top versions but they don't have the same carry straps.

I've always used military waterproof bags for my camping gear and whitewater rafting and they work great! You can find them a surplus stores etc. Here's a link with picture what they look like.
