re help with backpack sanjay kin lap upenn edu sanjay sinha writes as summer approaches the usual preparations are being made me was thinking of going for some overnite camping trips in the local state forests for that i was planning to get a backpack rucksack the next question is how shall i carry the thing on the bike given the metal frame and all i have a big backrest approx high and was hoping that i would be able to bungee cord the backpack to the backrest any one have any experiences on such experimentation taking the idea further what would happen if the backpack was fully loaded with a full load lbs is the load distribution going to be very severly affected how will the bike perform with such a load clinging to the back rest if i really secure it with no shifting do i still increase my chances of surfing i ride my bike regularly to classes with my book bag i take the shoulder straps on the bag and hook them around the rear turn signals i works fine you probably will want to attach it with a bungee cord to keep it from shifting to one side or another dan ramage ramage charlie ece scarolina edu vulcan dod i wanted a harley but i haven t won the lottery yet them bats is smart they use radar d letterman
