So who has bought food while on their bike?

The other day I picked up 2x large Hells pizza on the GN and strapped it to the pillion seat with a couple of bungy cords :rockon:

It was bloody cold that night and I left a stream of steam behind me for the 10min ride home.

Anyone got some good stories about buying fastfood while on their bike

It may not be fast food, but I did ride my RG150 from Lower Hutt to Otaki one Christmas Day with a pavlova in a tin in my tank bag and two aluminium oven trays strapped on the back... :scooter:

can't say i haven't thought about going through the drivethru at BK or McD's, but trying to balance on my bike and hold a bag of food is not too easy..

Yeah I went through a McD'd drive through once on my old X7. It was going great until they passed me the drink....errrr. First and last time doing that.

been thru drive thrus many times on bikes
the drinks are ok if you empty them a bit and keep them fairly upright (down the jacket, half poking out - just under the helmet)
Got knocked off my bike on the way home one time.... got a bit messy :(
Still, managed to salvage the burger which i ate waiting for the police to take statements etc

Shouldnt that read that you bought ALL the pies? And you wonder why your street magics not going fast enough now...

BK drivethru is great as you can change the drink to a can of lift plus, unless anyone has got a good place to put those Mc Donalds cup holders????

Well other than gluing a cup holder to your tank I dont think that it'd be very possible. But then again I put the "unco" into the word uncoordinated...

McD's drive throughs were always a giggle especially seeing everyone gawp at ya whilst they throw burgers down there throwts.

Dominoes are a good thing to strap on the back of ya bike and have a blat on the way home...people think you are express delivery only problem was that I lived in a town with 14 roundabouts from my house to Dominoes...all the cheese went to one side :blah: when i got home.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm foooooooooood

I carried a couple of pizzas home on my tank, but they were sliding all over the place so I had to take on a racer's crouch. Felt like a bit of a tool doing that in the CBD at 40km/h, but my pizzas were sweet though, and it was warm...kind of a greasy warm...nice.

A cop did a double take of me carrying my pizzas with disregard for public safety, and did a u-turn, but I was gone up the middle lane on the two lane road before he'd even finished his turn.

Goldwings have cruise control. . .I know some who had fish 'n' chips on the tank, going 120 kms, having a feed, passing fish back to the pillion, all while passing cars.

Often get food etc on the bike. Down the jacket is the best place for it, unless you have a bag.

Pizza down the front though, I think not :scooter:

How do you eat at 120km/h? Do you feed it up under your helmet or flip open the visor?

I do drive thrus all the time, and the gb tank is perfect size for a doz stubbies. Now smoking while you ride, theres the trick... invest in a zippo

I would pick up food but refuse to eat it while riding,if bike stationary and still sitting on the bike then i would eat.

With room left over.

At 120kph with an open helmet I think the pizza will find its own way in there(or in the vicinity)

Because you have to slow down to 20K for the corners on a cruiser, right?

I've taken BK on the bike a few times, chuck the drink in the side pocket of me bag. Only results in disaster occasionally!

ive carried pizza on my topbox [wouldnt fit inside] but that as far as ive ventured.

my partner velcroed a coffee cup holder to his bike...used a travel mug. we never went anywhere without that coffee...got to the point where i wanted him to put one on the saddle bag for me! also fitted a ciggy lighter, so he could smoke on the road.

I accidentally swallowed a bug once when I had the visor up. Does that count towards the last option?

Hehe, I wasnt taking a jab at you, more of magua + other rg150 riders who think there bike is super manly, MAGUA PURPLE IS NOT MANLY, well manly in the fact that other men(of non straight type) like it...

Nice bikes, but not for men.

Also, I had a sammie in my pocket doing well over the limit, does that count as fast food?

Anyone got some good stories about buying fastfood while on their bike

I don't know whether you might think it interesting but I had something happen when I was a teenager, in the days when vinyl music records were all the go.

I rode an old BSA B33 500cc single (very loud) and was considered to be one of those from the wrong side of town. (Fifties rock and role age and all)

I fancied a girl from the "other" side of town from me and spent a lot of time plotting and planning how I was going to win her over and change her life forever.

Well the plot almost worked and all my aspirations were coming to fruition, even had her agreeing to me taking her home after work, on the bike of course!

8pm late Friday night closing for shops etc, I was there, right on cue.

Helmets and safety gear were not compulsory or even really available in those days so you just got on and rode in what you had on.

Leather jacket, jeans and old steel capped boots were mostly what we wore.

She had to go to the record shop for her father and pick up a classic vinyl 33 & 1/3 rpm that he had been coveting. (Very expensive back then)

We also got a pack of fish and chips (the fast food bit) on the way so I shoved the vinyl and the fish and chips down the front of my jacket, she rolled her skirt up, got on the bike and off we went from Petone to Taita full noise and I was singing to my self, Yes!

Her father was not too impressed at who she had brought home and was just trying to be nice for her,(they had flash guests) then I produced the fish and chips nicely wrapped in a big black vinyl record.

The freaking thing had almost melted from the hot fish and chips and now it was worthless!

After a quick exit accompanied by a string of expletives from her old man I had a nice quiet ride back to Lower Hutt pie cart (more fast food) to lick my wounded pride.

No, never did make even to first base with that chick but there were lots of others to say G'Day to anyway. (raging testosterone oosing from every pore back then)

Shame really because she did enjoy the ride home on the "magic" bike. :bye: Cheers John.

I'd move into a Retirement Village if all the old bastards had stories half as ammusing as that one. Cheers John :first:

Fish and chips once a week for the family usually in the back pack...

The other day I went to the best f&c shop (miles away) no bag, so shoved them down my front. Mistake... they were nice and fresh... and fresh = hot! i managed to get every light on red.

Had a pizza delivery job when I was at varsity. One night I managed to fall off twice... never did take herbal tips again...
