martrobbo Hooked GTV300ie Via Monte Napoleone Joined: UTC Posts: 462 Location: Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England	UTC quote my front rack says 6 kg maximum but I usually load a 13 kg tent on there plus 2 air beds at 4 kgs each . travelled 1000`s miles with no problems at all but that's my choice to overload and the wifes to pack too many clothes on the rear rack lol

OP Maniac Hooked 2013 GTV 300 IE Joined: UTC Posts: 391 Location: Sacramento, CA	UTC quote The great thing about the GTV300IE rack is that it is stationary... The sod/turf was quite wide, but since the load did not move with turns, it worked out great! Maniac

I weighed my daughter's backpack when we got back from school the other day and it was 15.5. She complains that I refused to let her get a backpack with wheels. What kind of character and strong muscles would that build?
