Bit of a long shot I guess but any skydivers out there amongst you? Just wondering if anyone has any experience of loading up their bike with a rig and how you got on. I'm thinking of going with a rear rack and panniers but no top box so the rig bag can be secured to the rack and across the top...

Sep 11 2015 - 700 miles done. I love my bike! WB.

My one week old bundle of fun. I'm new to biking at 49 and loving my first big boys bike after riding a 125 for a year. It's surely not right having this much fun with my clothes still on? Have fitted R&G crash protection and an MRA screen since the pics were taken. Love it! WB.
