Can anyone here that rides motorcycles recommend any good backpacks that are laptop friendly?

I was thinking something along the lines of the Icon Urban Tank bag since its also a tankbag but it may be too small for my soon to have z70va.

It's mounted magnetically, which I can only assume means it has magnets. I would make every possible effort to keep the computer as far away from magnets as humanly possible. Then again, it does have an MP3 player pocket, which means one of two things:
1) The persons responsible for designing the bag should be fired, OR
2) I'm wrong - certainly a possibility.

Unless someone more knowledgeable says otherwise, plan on keeping it on your shoulders. I imagine putting it in a saddle bag would be a bad idea, though you could slide a few slats of styrofoam (or some other padding of your choice) into the saddlebag, stuff the computer in a padded slip case, and then into the newly-padded saddlebag.
