The bungees on the rack made me think of the bungee net. Straight bungees always remind me of the '70s.
I always have 2, one stretched and tied together and one newer tight one, that way you can accommodate the unfeasibly large boxes with the old one. Gradually the old one rots away and by then the newer one has stretched a bit. When I finally bin the old one I buy a new one. The whole process takes about 10 years.

That's very Trigger's Broom -esque.
I got so used to a billion bungees on the XtraCycle (I kinda miss it, but not the knee pain), that there's at least one on every bicycle, including wrapped on the clip-on aero bars on the Full Pro, and now on the DR and the XJ.
Talking of unfeasibly large, I've recently had some bad blood with the neighbour, and he has invoked various levels of assholery regarding property lines and ownership and permission. I cannot trim his hedge without his permission, even when it is on our land, I cannot place some loose bricks beyond said property line, anything he doesn't like is regarded as inflammatory and a potential criminal act, und so weiter.
So now I'm wondering if an incredibly large gnome constitutes as cargo or pillion, if I find one to carry back and place on the property line in question.
Needs to be jolly AF. Kinda want to just drive around with one strapped to the bike.

Ah yes, well I can’t find the one I had been using before, but I hope the bungees on the rack settle your mind. There’s now insulation tape over the crack on the RHS fairing, too.
The originals were okay, but so chunky. There is a lot less aerodynamic drag now, I assume I have gained at least 0.5HP as a result.
