Hi. Have persuaded my wife to take a short 2-3 day tour with me. Possibly next weekend which is a public holiday weekend here in the uk. I'm a bit worried about it now.
Firstly. Out combined weight is about 330lbs. The panniers won't be loaded too heavy for such a short trip but I will have all three OE Yamaha luggage boxes fitted. Should I be worried about the bikes strength and capability with this?
Second - and an odd one. Have ou any tips for actually getting the passenger "on board" with all three luggage boxes in place? Are there any rules? How do you all do it? Usually I just get on the bike first, stand it upright and put my feet as wide as they can and brace while the passenger climbs on. But luggage gets in the way eh? Am I worried about nothing?
All hints and tips gratefully receive!
