Tacoma, I could see that yes, the bike will not flip flop in and out of S curves like it used to, but I cant see how the handling would be actually dangerous (again, considering that some riders that this bike has to be designed to handle can easily weigh 200 lbs). Especially given that Nun has lots of experience riding bikes with stuff on them on all kinds of roads, I dont see how this would be an issue.

and Nun, I think your plan of a "reward system" would be great incentive, I mean, we all (or I anyway) go at things better or enjoy it more, if there is a "goal" so to speak (training for a trip, an event, or whatever)
