Lucky plod didn't catch you stop on the motorway. You wanna practise your no hand skills for future situations (although plod don't like that neither).

I have half a dozen bungies permanently on the luggage rack. Easy enough, I presume the falcow has some sort of bungie points under the tail? Just put some bungies over the seat. AFAIK you don't commonly carry a pillion anyway?

No not often take pillion, thing is though that I have the fairing rear seat thing, dont really use the seat as it looks crappy with it on

I have soft panniers but its pretty much over kill. Suppose a tank bag is a reasonable idea.

s'alright my cousin got done for stopping for pizza on the hard shoulder, the traffic officer wouldn't agree it was an emergency. So my cousin showed his warrant card to no avail.
