Rarely gets off. Maybe if area is congested with people and bikes.

This kinda stuff cracks me up. No one was calling you a liar about owning a bike. Granted all my bikes have trunks. But unless luggage is loaded heavy i don't notice the difference compared to yours.

Why do people put up picks of their bike, or jackets when talking about jackets, or such? Not just bike forums. Like seeing the where the helmet is going to convince me. Maybe you are a celebrity endorser, that I don't know.

Atleast the wife is wearing jeans.

This plus I'm doing good to flatfoot, so not worth the risk.
At one of the spots we ride to occasionally when you pull up it's slightly uphill, so there are always a couple of Ladies that will walk around front (ask) and give you a push back. Better than reverse.
