I’m touring in Europe next year for a week or possibly two. I ride a BMW XR but have yet to buy the hard luggage as I’m not sure I will need it.

I have always used Keriga soft luggage before but that was for when I was based in one place in Wales or Scotland. I never had the problem of moving on to a new location each day and leaving the bike unattended while I went to have lunch or doing a bit of sightseeing.

The countries I’ll be visiting will be German, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and Italy.

My question is will the luggage be safe and are there countermeasures to keep soft luggage safe on the bike?
