That is why I'm taking the rolling luggage/briefcase. The ride is actually to the train station about 10 miles away as the crow flies, a bit more because I take the back roads. I live outside Boston**, so I steer clear of the rush hour traffic by driving to a station some distance away, even though I have two or three stations closer, so that I can get my moto ride in.
I stuffed my pants and jacket into the mostly empty briefcase and my lunch and valuables into the backpack/tank bag. Problem solved, and it's not too difficult to strap onto the Alu Rack even with the Givi case (read expensive hard sided grocery bag).
Last year I tried to get by with just the tank bag, but I was always just "this close" to being overwhelmed with everything I was carrying. This works and will be the go-to for the commute.
I will definitely keep the febreze in mind though. As the sun gets hotter, I'm sure something of mine will need it... :-}
** Boston traffic at rush hour means your otherwise 35 minute drive to the city can become 1.5 hours of stop and go in six lanes of traffic ... I take the train to bypass it.
