Pedro Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Don't do it like me: I load beer, wine and canned goods, which are very heavy, all on one sidecase. I then load fruit, vegetables and bread, which is very light, all on the other sidecase. I then get surprised when I get home and the bike tries to topple onto me while maneuvering inside my own garage It didn't fall down, though, but did catch me by surprise 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a road legal car at the moment in my place, it's up north in my parent's, but the GS has plenty of storage with both sidecases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you wouldn't find that in a supermarket, only on a good fish monger, and I wouldn't know how to cook them properly. However, I see you saved that as something which has interested you, which means I've saved a soul 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
