under last year's rules, the groceries fit (just barely) into fred's streamliner. he had slings in the front and rear of the shell that managed that. This year he will probably need to make a few modifications so that they sit upright, and don't get "squished" to meet Vetter requirements as he has clarified that rule. Fred also told me that for him, riding bent forward like on a sport bike is more comfortable. I personally like to lay on a sleeping bag on my tank for long trips, as upright seating leaves me with a numb backside, and lower back stiffness.

4 bags of groceries and 70mph in a headwind is asking a bit too much,

I agree that 70mph seems a bit much. I like the large amount of storage, but I typically avoid expressways anyway. Hopefully this means that my actual driving mileage will exceed my "Vetter Conditions" mileage.
