Can't see it weaving the way it does, as if its rocking from side to side.

Not so. I wore a large rucksack carrying a bulky but light load that protruded out the top down the motorway once. Around 70mph the bike started to weave very slightly because of this. Unlikely to be coppers problem, but one I considered worth mentioning just incase

Yes but that's slightly different isn't it hmmm? I mean erecting a bleeding great sail is somewhat different to a standard bike rucksack like my Knox (which I wear all the time and doesn't cause any problem at all) .

It was worth mentioning certainly.

Wind can be a problem when riding a bike,particularly if you are wearing one piece leathers. The thing is, that for a momentary relief the price you pay on unzipping those leathers later on....well it's just not worth it! :P

It's something we're fast getting used to.
