Four wheeled horse buggy...
« Reply #46 on: November 14, 2006, 10:36:30 PM »
When I was young and stoopid__now I'm old and stoopid__ I was riding about 60 miles from the city on a country road when I saw a four wheeled horse buggy by the side of the road with a sign saying "To give away". As I knew I could make a hefty profit by selling it to an owner of tourist buggy ride operator in the city...well I backed the old Harley where the horse should be and tied it as well as I could and hit the road...slowly. Braking was the main problem, and the thing fishtailed like a drunk shark. Plus, I had to stop and grease__with chain lube__ those wooden wheel-hubs everyonce in a while, and check the iron rings used for tires in those days... Anyway, I got about ten miles from the city, always on side roads, when I was intercepted by the provincial police...and the Leo was so mad he could've kicked me...he called his central on his radio and his first words were: "You WON'T believe what I'm about to bla-bla-bla...then he had a good laugh, told me to untie the rig and get the hell out of there before he'd have time to throw the book at me. As far as I know that buggy might still be somewhere around the Texaco gaz station where I left it...
They're all idiots and I'm their chief...

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....

My family still talks about the time I took my bandit to the auto wrecker's and picked up a transmission for my car.  I strapped that sucker on tight, and drove down the highway a good 50 kms before arriving safely at home.

I've also carried a large pond filter on my bandit.  That was a little awkward, it took up so much space that I was uncomfortably pressed against the gas tank.

But...the most unusual non-sentient cargo (bikego) would have been on my CX500 (yes, a Honda) I went to an auto wrecker to get car parts...and strapped a front moulded bumper, with headlights and blinkers etc across my lap and drove home.  That must have made an odd impression seeing me coming head on.

Oh, I've also carried the water softener salts, they are easier to carry than a passenger.  And for golf clubs, I throw the strap over my shoulder, shift the bag slightly behind me, and away I go.

If anyone's still looking at this thread...I finally have something interesting to report.  I picked up a sheetcake at Costco and took it to an ABATE Christmas party.  While the cake suffered minor damage (those Bandit seats aren't as flat as they appear, and the cake developed a crack that magically healed once it was on a flat table), I couldn't see taking a CAR to a MOTORCYCLE party.

That's just @#%^ing nuts!  :lol:  That's how it starts. Next time it will be something a little larger or heavier. Before long, one day people will be looking at you thinking... look at that idiot on the motorcycle, get a car whydon'tcha?!

Or maybe not. :wink:  Either way, welcome to the other side of the side of the intersection!  :bigok:

That's just wrong on too many levels and a pic like that should be limited to the Clubhouse since it's not very "family" friendly.
