How long can I ride with a 15kg backpack?

I fly a paraglider and ride a motorcycle. I'd like to somehow travel on my motorcycle and fly, but I'm debating how feasible it is to ride long distance with a back pack that somewhat restricts my movement, but also weighs 15kg. I've done say 40 mins riding at a time and it's no real issue, but if i were doing longer distance it may be ba news. My question is, has anyone tried doing long distance commuting with a heavy 15kg plus back pack on their motorcycle. If so, any advice?

I guess the ultimate test is to just done my pg back pack and go for a long *** ride and see how I fair.

A paraglider is far too big to be strapped to a seat, and thus it does somewhat inhibit movement, but not hugely so. I just think after awhile (like maybe 50 miles) I'll probably regret the idea.

No. Nobody has ever been dumb enough to wear a backpack that long instead of strapping it to the seat.

I ride/race a motorcycle and at times have got a bit of air under my wings, wheee! (or 'Ohhh, Sh!t?)

A man needs to do what a man needs to do, try not to make it a do-do.

if you ask your local police they will be able to confirm if it's illegal or not, it certainly aint safe!
