Default Topbox question

Why did I just pay £300 for a Vario topbox for the GS to carry cakes in and now I've just seen the Hairy Bikers have got wicker baskets bungeed onto theirs. Why didn't I get one of those?

Wy did you not buy a Givi top box and have some change? How many cakes can you get in your top box, out of interest?

I haven't tried yet but I'm taking a carrot and banana cake up to Paul the 6th on Friday.

Got that box as the bike came with Various panniers already and I don't get on with with the Givi box on the SV.

I'm not hairy. Waxed this week already.

I'm going to put the butter, icing sugar, soft cheese and honey for the topping in a klip box and see if the vibrations create icing by the time I get there.
