    You know that little "sport-rack" luggage rack I have on my 550 Seca?

    I think I set a new cargo-carrying record:

    - (1) six-pack long-necks (Killians.)
    - (1) Gallon milk
    - 1/2 pound potato salad
    - (1) nice thick steak
    - (1) roll shop towels
    - (1) 10oz can Tarminator (bug-n-tar remover.)

    Held on with my trusty mini cargo net. The roll of shop towels got a tad squished and that was it.

    The only thing I see wrong with that is you don't have my address for that barbecue you're planning.

    Outstanding. I love my bungee net. I am a little limited from the sissy bar, but I can take it off I guess if I wanted to.

    Obviously not an XJ but one of our local KB site members picked this up on her bike last week

    Can't say I'd be too keen to try it myself

    I'm sure when I sat my licence (1976) here in NZ there were laws about load size on a bike :wink:
