Can't say I am loving it, but also not hating it - the trunk.

Caved in for some storage, so I don't have to take with me everything, now I can leave chotskies some with the bike.

Thoughts? For sure it is better without the trunk, looks wise, but, it is so convenient.
 
I would wear a back pack before I do that, jmo. I don't carry anything when I'm on the Roadster, that's what my GS is for.
 
Can't do a backpack in South Florida. The back becomes wet and then the unending cycle while riding, the backpack sticks to you, unsticks, sticks to you, unsticks. Plus, you lose extra skin surface to vent heat. Then the sweat leaks down to your lower cheeks, creating swamp ass situation. And while you can ride with a sticky wet backpack, you do not want a swamp ass.
 
I get the "Can't say I am loving it, but also not hating it - the trunk" thing. It is not attractive, but it sure is functional. Sometime function has to trump form.
 
I can't tell from the pics, but I hope that isn't mounted to Triumph's luggage rack, which is notorious for snapping off when holding more than 3 kg (6.6 lbs).
