Carrying wine bottles on the side of a pack rack

Umm, so why not put the bag of grain between you and the tank?


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

It wouldnt sit there.
I miss supersports bikes and their flat tanks. Ideal for boxes of beers and the occasional trip with an xbox.

Left it in 3rd the whole way So I didnt have to move my hand from the grain bag to the clutch to change gear.
Never again.

Learning to change gear without the clutch is a useful skill to have.

Didnt want to have to change down in gear without the clutch if I can avoid it.

It'a a long time since I've seen one of those big bottles that beer used to come in. You could get six in a cardboard box.

Once I bought a half-dozen and put it in the very basic back pack that I owned at the time to ride the ten miles home. Before I was half way home both arms and hands had gone completely numb. Numbness doesn't inspire confidence.

Backpacks are more sophisticated these days but panniers trump them anyway.

I would have thought a sack of grain would "form" around a tank? even a tear drop.
I have had occasions to do just that with 5kg a sack of rice.
P.S. also mean resting on the seat not the top of the tank.

Todays mission was succesful.

Wine delivered to happy wife.

It was full, with my Laptop, work shoes, Spare Router, Chocolate, Winter gear etc.

None of which is more important than wine...... other than the Chocolate.

I'm surprised I haven't been pulled up riding through Akl city with the case of beer on my tank yet. I just lean forward and steady it with my beer belly.

It is quite pretty really - the whole circle of life thing. The offspring of the beer supporting the new beer into the world......

Had a friend carry 5 boxes of beers on his tank once. Not well advised, but it worked.
