Do it all the time on my softie with a duffle bag. Holds my tent, fly, sleeping bag, poles, thermarest and pillow. Yeah I know... a pillow. So what! I'm old, I earned it!

Yours is for sure cheaper but I've had a few girls back there that were well endowed and let me tell you the ride has never been better.... btw they work good as a makeshift neck brace also
