[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1319571, member: 3828"] If I am on a longer (multi day) trip, my wife is usually on the back. She will not even ride on the bike without the trunk on there as it provides a feeling of security and she can lean back against it. But if she is not on the bike, neither is my Givi V46. I'm used to packing and using exactly one saddlebag for all my own personal belongings and 1/2 of the V46 trunk for liners, gloves, booze and a netbook PC. If the wife isn't on I would get to use two entire saddlebags, which is more space than I am used to. It's all about learning what you really need to have along, and just leave the rest at home. The only way that I would have the trunk on without a passenger is if I were going to camp, in which case I'd have the trunk on and a dry bag on the passenger seat for hauling the camping gear.
