What harm? None. I just don't want to wait. There's the Violet Beauregarde in me wanting something, and wanting it now!
The Ram is my only bike right now while we handle some home repairs like building a shed so we actually have storage, so I don't want to part with it if I don't have to. I'll work with a single mount and see how I like it. Thanks for the recommendations and counter-arguments. I love getting all sides of a debate and finding new resources for biking goods. I'll add Touring Store to the spreadsheet.
