    Gees, cant have done much for stability, you would have been carrying more than twice the amount oil the poor scoot was designed to.

    I do it every so often.

    If I have the BMW, it's easy of course.

    Otherwise, large items (Speights, f'instance) bungy cord to the seat. Rest in bags hanging from the mirrors, or two sets of bags tied together and across the bike, as a tank bra, or similarly at the front of the seat (sit behind my legs).

    Amazing what one can carry on a bike.

    I just double-bag the plastic bags of groceries and dangle them off my arms as I ride home. Works well on a bike like Betty with flat naked bars rather than low clip-ons.

    When I was house-sitting on my own I did all my shopping on my bikes.

    I moved flat on the SV.

    I might have had to transport a vaccum cleaner once but I killed it trying to get motorcycle grease out of the carpet

    In my new place the flat bitch does all the big stuff cos she controls the funds.

    Didn't have a car or car licience for ages so had to load up the old pack. Had some wicked loads sometimes and it wasn't what you'd call fun biking. Used to be able to wedge a 2L coke between the screen and the dash on my old RG250.

    If you're gonna do something as boring as grocery shopping you may as well use the car.

    If you are shopping at countdown, I can see why you do not require a bank account...

    Little shops are done on the whichever I have with me. Big shops are done on the scooter.

    I can confirm $200 fits in or on a scooter without dramatic license being issued.

    Back when I had my RG150, I was nominated for a food run at a little get together - we were getting Subway. When I actually got to subway, I realised that I had forgotten to bring a bag of any sort. So I got the dude at subway to double bag the subs and made my way home after securing them on the back



    And then there's this:

    The extra petrol to get me to a cheaper supermarket would outweigh any savings...

    oh and why the smeg should I pay for some suit wearing ponce to hold my money... then charge me for the privilege of removing it or even looking at it.

    why dont you just do your shopping online, turns up on your doorstep later that day or the next, easy as really and cost is minimal, any small extras you may need i.e not the 12 pack of loo rolls, will fit in your pack
