We timed loading and unloading the bike. 12 minutes to load up, about half that to unload. I think we shall get faster with practice.

We rode round to Denham - not very far, but a variety of roads. None of the baggage fell off.

The bike handled exactly as expected, a bit heavier, but no problem at all. We hit a variety of road conditions, motorway, A road, urban roads, roadworks with narrow lanes. All were fine, though there was a lot of traffic so I never really got to fully open the throttle. The loading and unloading were fine. No real glitches or problems. I want to make one or two minor adjustments to how the bags load on the rack, but nothing to worry about. All good. Ready to go.
