Lap top's don't travel very well in strapped down soft luggage. They can easily be damaged. If you don't mind wearing a small back pack, this is sometimes a good option for delicate stuff as it doesn't bounce around as much as the rear of a bike. Keep any back pack as light as you can though, longer journeys can be ruinous on your spine. If you are going to be using a large duffel type strapped on the seat, be very careful about keeping it well away from the rear wheel and not sagging off the saddle. It doesn't take much for a bag to slide on a tight corner and get tangled up between the swing arm and the tyre, which is why you should never ever use elasticated bungee straps to hold down luggage. They always stretch no matter how tight you think they are.
What time of year are you thinking of going? Good luck and enjoy. Fab place.
