WAIT! this was just starting to get entertaining, I mean I gave you guys a pretty good deer dragging story and it obviously was bland.


Not bland, but sounded like a creative solution to a problem.   I mean, ya only drug it a mile.  Let's see ya take it out on the open road and drag it until its head comes off!  Or learn to drag it so well, it dresses itself out!

If anyone is still out there, a point of clarification:

As a result of some off-board discussion, I have come to realize that the statement "There's an intersection where enjoying taking the bike and practicality cross" is more reflective of the way I make decisions regarding when to ride, what to carry, etc.

Well, a couple of years ago my wifes Aunt passed away.
Aunt Betty always loved Harleys, her husband used to ride one and so did her brother Jim.
She always used to say that she'd love to go for one more ride, so, when she passed on, her wishes were to be cremated and laid to rest with the rest of her family.
So I had this brilliant idea, I rented a full dressed Harley, lined the top box with some material and took Aunt Betty for her final ride.
I checked this out with the rest of the family first and everyone thought it was a great idea. I led the procession from the funeral home to the cemetery, pulled up to the grave site and handed her ashes to her son and grand-son.
There were a few odd looks from friends that didn't know what I'd planned, but everyone thought that it was a fitting tribute to pay to a really neat old lady.
Sure do miss her sense of humour though, I think she would have liked the idea.

Hi

Can't match BANDIT#305. Carried a Scalextrix set twice, once solo (vitually sitting on the tank, a tad cold the week before Christmas) and once being carried by a pillion (if the speed went over about 50 the wind started to push them back off the bike).

Carried the bottom end of a 125 2 stroke engine in a tank bag.

All the best

Well not as exciting as most of the post, but this past August was the 32nd year my wife and I have been married...I carried home 32 mixed color Roses in my jacket! Man was my wife suprised when I walked into the house with those sticking out of my Joe Rocket!

I don't see how my driving a car to carry stuff would be in Pete's best interest! :roll:


Who the hell is Pete and why can't he drive hisself? :motorsmile:

Quote from: Sven
About the strangest thing that's been on my bike is *me*.  About the strangest thing I've carried on the bike has been fast food from the drivethru, which I normally shove inside my jacket.  Yeah, nothing too bizarre.  I did recently see someone at Costco trying to load a giant bag of water softener pellets.  Talk about a dead weight.

See, if I know I am going shopping, I would *plan ahead* and drive the car.  I don't want to buy a computer or a leaf blower or, to use the term everyone seems to be using right now, "whatnot", only to have it fall off and get destroyed, or have it shift and pull the bike over.   If I saw some really great deal while out on the bike, I would come back in the car to get it.  There's an intersection where enjoying taking the bike and using common sense cross.


Where exactly is that ? Sounds hard to find. :stickpoke:

It's unmarked to prevent undesirables from loitering around.  You know, bikers and the like.

"fritobandito" exclaimed:
You people are all nuts! Drive the car for Pete's sake. I must admit, however, that I've been trying to come up with a way to carry my golf clubs on the bike....


Maybe one of these "nuts" can give you some tips on how to carry your golf clubs on your bike.  :motorsmile:

Haha. I should print out some of those pictures to put in my wallet. I always get strange looks/comments buying gallons of paint or dryer pipe with a motorcycle helmet! Yes, I can carry it. Yes, it looks stupid. No, its probably not safe. But f-it I'm gonna do it anyways!
