Why do people ride around with full luggage on all the time?

[Rhys]

Can someone explain to me the benefit of keeping hard luggage on all the time...?

Is there some sort of advantage that i haven't discovered

Is it not removable?..

Or is it just for the look factor :whistle:

Surely a 1200GSA with full luggage on is no more effective at getting through rush hour traffic then a Volvo 200?

It's a no brainer for me. Replacing luggage that's damaged when a bike gets dropped (and it will happen) is far cheaper than replacing bits of bike!

Iv found just the pannier racks do the same job on my bike saved the plastics plenty of times.

PS the Touratech luggage i have would just collapse if the bike fell on it. :whistle:
