I've caught myself leaning too in both the truck and the car. I don't think the wife has noticed yet. I caught myself just as i started into a turn and she started to look over at me. If she did notice she said nothing.

Sadly one night many years ago a buddy and myself drove around with MX helmets on, in a 1980 something Chevy Chevette.

I haven't rigged the GS for serious grocery hauling yet, but I will - I've done it on both previous bikes. Won't do an overflowing cart-full, but shopping a couple of bags at a time is not so bad if it means taking the bike to do it. With better racks and bags on the bike, you can fit more than that.
