[Katman]

The bosses I couriered for in London bought up a huge stock of out of date Steinlager after the World Cup. It was stored and distributed from the squat I was in. One of our riders took 8 dozen away on his CX500.

(You'll have to believe it without pics).

[Oakie]

A 5 foot tall 'Pink Panther' stuffed toy riding pillion. It was a birthday present for my then 18 year old girlfriend. Must have been appreciated as we've been married just over 29 years now.

[ellipsis]

..two lengths of rough sawn 4x2 pinus on a borrowed vespa..8 ft long (2.4m), on a saturday morning, from a Chch timber company...through the tunnel to Lyttelton..just to get a job finished...was thirty years + ago, so those things didn't matter so much...

Riding tyred up like the Michelin tyre man.

[Kickaha]

4 people and a 10 speed bicycle

[Groins_NZ]

Skis + poles and my mountain bike plus luggage - all tied to my old GN250 when riding up to National Park for a weekend of fun. This is back in 92-93. I used to leave Palmerston North after work, pretty late after I managed to secure everything and get up to the mountain close to midnight. Them were cold rides! Wouldn't do it now though, not as adventurous as I used to be and I don't think you could get away with it. Wish I had taken some pics but I don't think I had a camera back then anyhow and while I'm thinking about it, you couldn't get cellphones with cameras then either - wasn't that long ago really - oh wait, I guess that's 20 years nearly...

A set of tyres (several times), an entire computer system (monitor, tower, keyboard, mouse, surge protector, modem etc), also, a paddock stand. Since it didn't fold it was an awkward object, strapped over my backpack.

A full metal tool chest weighing in excess of 25kg was one of the heavier ones.

No real limit to what I will attempt. Nothing has fallen off or broken yet :D

[slofox]

Silliest thing I ever carried on a bike?


Probably myself actually...:facepalm:

[schrodingers cat]

Wife and friend standed themselve by running out of deisel in the horse truck. I strapped a 20l drum of deisel on the back of my FZR and rode (really carefully) for 80kms to rescue them

[Latte]

As a 10 year old, Pallets on an RM80, tied the center of the pallets to my seat (2 at a time), clicked it in gear, then hopped on the pallets and rode away in 1st. Was only along the "frontages" from the farmer down the road back to my tree hut in the back paddock.

I then tied a rope from my bike, over a branch then to the pallet, and rode away from the tree to lift the pallet up to the hut platform, genius I thought.

Excluding the male, I've had this roll of 100mph tape for 3 years and look how fucking brilliant it is. Just two lengths for the speakers, rock goddamn solid.

...I remember a pizza in a box being shoved into my jacket on a cold day and taking it home...about twenty minutes away...it was nice and warm...I didnt realise that the cheese had run out of the box and had reformed as a protective armour around my nuts...pulled a lot of hair trying to de-cheese myself...pizza wasn't half as nice either...

Kudos. My best was 2 pillions & 2 crates of Newcastle Brown with an XT 350 underneath.
I did get a mate to strap a king size mattress to the roof of his mini. We could only see out when the car bounced, hilarious.

[Spuds1234]

Lots of beer.

Splitting down Papinui Road in rush hour traffic got me a few weird looks, especially in Merivale.

[monkeymcbean]

This is not me, but it deserves a laugh

[wysper]

My first wife.

that is gold right there.

Would be a winner if you had a pic!


Silliest thing I carried was an electric wok back from farmers. Quite big in their boxes. I had no way of attaching it to the back so it was sitting on top of the petrol tank between my arms. Cornering was a bit of a bitch. The bike was a GSX600.

A Beef Casserole that had just come out of the oven.

How much was left in the pot at the end of the ride?

My new cat. It was 1984, I had a Suzuki SP370 with a yellow plastic Don Vesco tank and I'd gone to pick up a new cat. Cat was put in one of those cardboard cat boxes and I strapped it to the tank with bungee cords. Lovely and secure, but the cat didn't think so, and at 100 km/hr on the Hutt motorway, what seemed like a litre of cat piss sailed out of the box, off the tank and soaked my left leg.

Jeans stank, cat hid for a few days and I thought that next time I might have to borrow a car.

Funny looking back at it, but I don't think the cat ever forgave me, and it used to crap under my bed if it had half a chance........

An Aussie guy.

Got ticketed for that effort.

Nah, it was a kaywee, in Melbourne. Made the headlines, guy did get ticketed, but.

I was there at the time and got stick from everyone on my course.

(Scorpio avec pizza)
Amazing what a Scorpio will carry with a little persuasion and duct tape. My silliest on Scorpie was either a large box of KFC, or a race suit I'd bought off TradeMe. My silliest yet on Kotaka is a stack of D&D books (admittedly in a bag).

About 12 dozen 12 packs of beer 2 up on a yamaha TT250. Mate on the back had a huge camping back pack which held the bulk of the booze. Bike was kinda high and he was pretty short and when he attempted to get on the back he took a fall and was stuck on the ground like a flipped over turtle. Dude in the car park of the bottle store helped him back up and on the bike. Pack was leaking a few busted cans all the way back to another mates 21st.

[sgtp]

My little 50cc his somewhat of a pack mule...

I have strapped my rolly carry-on sized luggage to it when going to the welly train station, but the silliest combo of crap was an electric space heater and one of those 40 roll packages of TP from the warehouse. The most weighed down its been has been trips out to Makara with my girl on the back, in addition to a pack balanced on the floorboad containing a wetsuit/fins/snorkel/mask/towels and then the rear GIVI with a 12 pack of beer for me and two bottles of bubbly for her. And she would have a sun shelter canopy folded up in its case between her back and the GIVI trunk. And you know what? That little scooter's suspension handles the weight beautifully, whereas when she gets on the back of my GPX, the suspension sinks down to the bottom. I dont think I'll ever want to ride her on the GPX.

I have my eye on a dehumidifier on trademe at the moment. I hope my bungys are long enough to strap that down if I win it.

[gatch]

An 11 fin column heater. A stack of tires. Pizzas. Booze. A gl145 motor in pieces. A very large man. Golf clubs taped individually to the fairings. A STACK of tools. A paddock stand for the vfr. Some guns. A home brewing still.

On the back of my buddies gsxr6 we had 2 50L of compost, rolls of garden hose, plastic troughs and other bits duct taped on wherever there was space, then me as well. There's a good pic of him as well, on his gsxr, with a pocket bike under his arm..

Ha all of this done with duct tape, bungies and positive thoughts. And no casualties.

Yet the first time I try using fuckin pannier bags, they slip on the seat and melt open, burning my towel and shorts inside. Then fall off completely and smash my $45 bottle of port ruining everything in the other compartment.
