Of course, the weight recommendation is on the conservative side, but you know somebody's going to put a milk crate full of old brake rotors in it and at the first S-bend, it'll wag the dog, and the next-of-kin's lawyers will be looking to put his kids through college off it.
Yes of course, self preservation society!
That makes sense, thank you.

It’s an excellent language, often envied for its ability to convey nuance but rarely utilised to its full extent because of ridiculous spellings and grammar. There, they’re fighting over their plurals.

Bike handling is excellent up to 110+MPH

High tail loads can make the handling wonky, so approach the limits with caution.
Thanks, I knew I could rely on this forum for rational explanations!
