RE: Test ride with full load

As far as the weight of the load, I jumped up and down and I couldn't get it to bottom out.

I'm very interested to see how you go Deej as I'm thinking about doing a few long trips over the summer.
I have already got the Dirt Bagz.

RE: Test ride with full load

Bungee cords will cause you a lot of grief on the road with that load out.

Get some small ratchet straps (you don't need the large ones).
