Does loading your bike that high make it top heavy?

It's ok, not my taste but at least it's a shovel.

What about on highway like getting passed by a 100 mph 18 wheeler.

I always wondered how that high load was on the road but you have to put the tent and sleeping bags somewhere.

Hey Hobo great to meet ya. Those pics were from April. On my way down. Was a great trip both times. Enjoyed the 2nd better than the 1st.
Good luck with the new bike.. Where is the ****. We are waiting!!

Came home in the dark the other week!



Great shot, sun going down and I was on top of a mtn on the parkway.



Raider Bill it is no diff than having a person on back. Never did feel top heavy. The baggage don't lean the wrong way! It was top heavy on the kickstand.

Neil this should be like a motivational picture thing. Get you a$$ in gear!
