I've had a few sketchy moments. I'm mostly carrying decorating stuff & paint, never had "valuable" cargo tho!
First time I went over was just taking a corner too fast in the wet
Second time, also on a corner. The ladder I had on top of the cargo box must have shifted a bit & stopped me from turning handlebars (won't make that mistake again)
Scariest moment was the bike sliding out from under me as I took a busy roundabout slowly. There was a thin mud slurry from a building site nearby that was like ice.
