Riding with a guitar like a backpack

[Mike80]

Hi to all, would like to check it if it is legal to carry a guitar like a backpack on a motorbike? Had anyone here did it before? Thanks in advance.

Seen it a few times. No issue and shouls be legal

Think its more of a safety issue than legal issue... did it a couple of times... the problem is if your guitar is the acoustic type... it might be a little "big" and your head might not be able to "straighten"... i was "head down" most of the way... for short trip i think ok... if you plan for long trips... prob only electric types or some other case will be good... i'm using mono case... which is somewhat water-resistant

Same issue here when I was carrying my badminton rackets on the back. Racket too long and dun want to press again the racket, scare bend, so head tilted down all the way. Not comfy and got problem looking at rear mirrors.

See people riding with fishing rods all the time, so can't think that this is any different in terms of legality.

Thanks to all. Had tried it around my house earlier. It is a bit uncomfortable though but i think should be able to ride with it to my jamming place tomolo. Thanks to all for the advice.
