Np, Peter Pan, I didn't make "too light" error. Instructing the passenger to lean right is somewhat redundant, but I'd rather like to exaggerate than to flip left 🙂 I always ride with ~30 kilograms in basket. When I plan to return with heavy load, I take 25 liters of water from lake and ditch it before loading.

I always drive in full apparel. It consists of warm pants and blouse/sweater, then goes "buzzer", 2 small polartec "blankets" under knee&sinbone protectors. I have sewn additional windstopper "gloves" and I wear full wind-stopper jacket and pants as outside layer.For winter I use rubber boots with 2 pairs of woolen socks. Every joints are warm after ride.

Yes, Lonnie. I felt that all this work is worthwhile. I ride my rig about 13-15 weeks now. Sorry that I haven't posted pics, but I had to test and finish everything.
I also care second helmet, gloves, knee- and elbow protectors and I take hitch-hikers, not everybody are that "brave" to go with me. But if someone decide to take a ride, is then very happy. Last time some guy said "I always though that motorcyclists are Kamikaze, and that motorcycles are summer-only vechicles. But it's really good"
