roffle ...mate of mine used to take his zzr1100...

2 bags over each mirror.... and whatever he could fit in his backpack....

i dont trust the bags enough so i just usually take an expandable tank bag and my army backpack.

a backpack has worked for me in the past, have panniers now

done the plastic bag trick, usually two bags in eachother, on the bars, uncomfortable, careful around the corner, no not again

Grocery shopping on a bike is completely impractical. I can only fit 6 or 7 bags of groceries in the panniers and topbox on mine. I mean, what's the point of that?!

6 or 7 bags!? Jeez.
As much as I hate being in a car when my flatmate parking it at Pak'n'save, I'd much rather that than carry 6 or 7 bags on meh bike

I generally have more room than I need for my weekly shopping, even if I get a 12 pack of bog rolls on a good special. Half the time I can fit everything in the 35L top box and don't even need to use the under seat storage.

I haven't needed the car for grocery shopping since I got my scoot.

Hahahaha, Rik took his burger once to grocery shop and had car drivers getting out to see where he was putting all the bags! They were gobsmacked at what he was loading into his 2wheel shopping transporter.
