Everyone is built different!

I'm sitting at a fuel station just south of the Arctic circle in Norway having a cup of coffee and trying to warm up/dry out when this GS1250 rolls in. It has two people on it, the stack of bags are strapped to a harness type set up on the pillion's shoulders, there is another bag dangling from the top of the stack. This is such a different way to travel compared to me (photo 2, taken a few days ago on my 7500km trip).

I'm not here to say how they are enjoying motorcycling is wrong, just very different to me. While I think their set up does introduce extra risk, they may think the way I ride and roads I choose do the same. We just have different priorities.

Anyway, let's all enjoy our time on 2/3/4 wheels and do our best to avoid turning ourselves or anyone else into meat crayons.

Edit: I'm going to try to read all the comments, but it might take a while as I've just arrived at my campsite and need to set up and cook before it gets dark/too cold.

For those of y'all who are asking about hauling your yak in a truck or on your SUV roof, yeah, you can.

Heavy, not exactly awkward

Chose to bring this plug-in air mattress home today from my in-laws' place. It was heavy and oversized for my pillion but the cargo net kept it stable vs. the incredible torque of my T7.
