Guys,
This time around I want to ask a question regarding carrying your work gear to and from work. I'be been wondering how to get rid of my backpack during commuting so here are details.
When I go to work, I usually carry all my stuff in a regular backpack. On normal days, it's just some regular stuff, food and drink and the backpack is fairly light.
There are times, however, when I need to carry my laptop home (on-call) so the backpack weight increases to around 22lb (all the junk I want to have included).
I've been searching for solution to get my back rid of the weight and strap the damn thing to the bike somehow, so how do you guys, who have similar stuff to carry around, deal with it?
I've got luggage net so I can strap light things to pillion seat, but with the laptop packed - it's no longer an option, doesn't seem like the net can handle such weight and keep it from moving around/falling off.
I'm considering Honda's OEM center box and panniers for longer journeys in the future, but I have no solution for the time being.
Any ideas how to get around 20lb backpack off my back and strap it safely to the bike for everyday driving? All your input is highly welcome
Also, if you already have Honda's OEM center box installed, how much weight can it withstand? Would it keep my backpack safely without falling off?
PS: I'm just looking for inspiration so even the strangest idea is welcome as it can be source for another invention
