Thanks guys, I'll have a look at the hard luggage solution and see if I can find something. Maybe eBay might help!

Thanks Stu, I will definitely try and keep the bike in view at all times. Have yet to decide how much to take for a 10 day 2000 mile trip. Any thoughts on how much luggage litres? I was hoping to take a backpack for valuables and electronics, a tank bag for convenience at tolls etc and perhaps a Kriega 70l system for everything else (I know I don't need 70l but figured I could just part fill the bags and have them for future longer tours).

Hi guys, I'm a new relatively new rider and forum member. I am planning a Europe trip early next year and I am wondering what advice people have on luggage security. I am planning on using Kriega tailbags for clothes, tools etc and a backpack for valuables. My question is what do you all do when at service stations for filling up and having rest breaks etc... do you leave tailbags on the bike, taking valuables only and hope for the best or do you take all luggage with you?
