OK I know its not much but I did a little shopping for a lunchtime snack.
It saved me having to get the car out..

Lol nice to see you took your own bag as well 

I have discovered with a small amount of manipulation you can even get a bottle of wine in there!

Do they make black wine?

I've been guilty of top box full, under seat full, and a shopping bag or two over each shoulder.... not ideal....



Years ago I had some throw over bags on my Honda and bought some milk from the shop.
On the way home I completely forgot about it and decided to hit the hills.

Several hours later, got home, parked the bike.

Next morning - didn't I buy milk? Uh oh.
It had been a 30 degree day the previous day so the milk was by now, shall we say, sub-optimal.

I've been guilty of the take away coffee between the legs a few times. Certainly teaches you balance around the slow corners!

My under seat is full of electrics,water tank etc. So I have to use that ugly "parachute box"

My worst shop, needed beer for home. Had rack on bike but not bag, carton fits perfect in bag. Thought itd be ok, just strap on with occy strap. Nearly home, strap broke. All 24 beers were broken plus a mess to clean off road. Then had to jump in car and back to the pub for a fresh carton. What a waste.

Two cartons of beer, 48 beers, fits easily to my parachute box

funny this story, took wife to work. fruit stall had 12 pineapples for a dollar. couldnt refuse. strapped on back seat. sort of like Vlad forgetting the milk, i forgot the pineapples. was in a fast mode that arvo, 20ks of passing every tin top i came across, maybe 20 cars in 20 ks, not really sure. one of those days where you ring the bike to max. im sure we all have those days. home and one pineapple left on seat. what an idiot was first thought. second thought, ill go back and look for them. i found the marks on road where theyd plonked down, about 5k spread. then sat on side of road, thought about scenario, what must the car drivers have thought, stupid motor bike passing me then dropping depth charges. i found then and now one of my funniest bike happenings. still thinking about it, mustve been funny from car view. gs1000g was bike, one of the best.
