Yes I agree, I only was in doubt with the quick release but I took the normal one.

I know we are all different, and that is the cool part of riding, especially an HD, but do you guys not use these bikes for, say, a quick run to the store? Even if I had a more euro style bike like beemer or (not euro) Honda, Yam, etc, it would have to have some sort of bags. It makes the bike more useful. But that is how I think, that everything needs more than one purpose.

Do you have other bikes for the general needs or just use the car for store trips?

Not criticizing at all, just curious. I made mine so I CAN take the stuff off quickly for a "naked" run when I want to, but it stays on more than off.

I am curious as to what your bike is sitting on. Some kind of roll away cart?

Yes but I've got "plenty" of bikes...

for shopping with the bike I'll use these one..


Or this one, even got a small trailer for it and we can drive on the public road with the quads ( I do not like drive a car anymore, .. )




On my Harley's is no cargo carrier needed

That are bike movers, very handy when you got limit space or to many bikes , you can turn in a small place the bike complete around.
All my bikes are in such a mover even my Goldwibng , just for my Breakout I need to alter it for the 260 rear tire.

Lol, quads we have, we cannot drive them on public roads, but only have the one bike. Nice looking Goldwing. Don't see too many white ones around here. Looks good on it.

Those are pretty cool. I could use one of those in my shop when I need to work on the bike.

What keeps them still when driving on and off? I do not see anything that locks it. Seems like if you were to push backwards, it would roll with you instead of the bike rolling off. I know it cannot work that way, I just do not see how it does work.

What am I missing?
