[Big Dave]

The problem with that picture is??

Possible tank damage.

[FROSTY]

True true--Oh you mean the damage to a friggin sherman tank if he hit it with that BBQ??:whistle:

[Mully]

Apparently, Stuart has also transported a couch on his bike.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

[Big Dave]

No winner Mully - He was inline for a BD HTFU Gold Silverman award till he pillowed.

'Next I plan to cook breakfast for the temple on my way to meditation, but we have to deal with some engineering issues first'

would have guaranteed it.

Now all he gets is a 2 on Mohs scale.

Kiwi BBQ rider earns Aussie infamy

NZPA | Saturday, 02 February 2008



A New Zealander photographed riding a motorcycle along Melbourne's Eastern Freeway with a barbecue strapped to his body has admitted it wasn't a bright idea.


And the man known only as "Stuart" is also having second thoughts about an earlier incident when he carried a two-seater couch on his motorbike.

"I do think it was dangerous," he told the Herald Sun newspaper yesterday.

"I don't think I'll carry anything but a pillion passenger from now on."

Stuart, 27, who didn't want his real name revealed, was ridiculed when the newspaper published a photo yesterday of his barbecue escapade.

An astonished motorist had snapped him while he was transporting the barbecue on the Eastern Freeway on Sunday evening.

Police were not impressed and have started an investigation.

Stuart, who migrated from New Zealand in August, said he picked up the barbecue left on a nature strip for a hard rubbish collection.

A Buddhist, he had been returning home from a temple.

"It was the challenge (of transporting the barbecue) more than the thing itself."

But work colleagues and housemates teased him after recognising him in the photo.

"I wouldn't do it again, it was too embarrassing," he said.

Stuart said he recently ferried a couch on his bike.

"People say it can't be done, but I proved them wrong," he said.

[Gubb]

Bah. Scrub this post.

[bell]

And here is the knob-spanker himself.

[Steam]

what's a Buddhist doing with a BBQ? :scratch:

For frying eggplant and tofu. And lentil-burgers.

Yum I say, yum!

[Big Dave]

Sorry but I must be "nuts" too. I shifted house in Kaitaia using my Maicoletta scooter. Many trips moving chests of draws, chairs and table etc and lots more in boxes. I had a motto then which I have now ceased to use, it was "Prove that you cant" I set out to prove that I could not shift stuff using my bike.
Had to get help with the fridge, I proved that I could not take that. Would not be able to do that today, it was way back in 1961, there was very little traffic and the traffic cop was a good friend. The police would have just laughed. Things and people were very different way back then. Sad I did not take any photos.

[clmintie]

Muldoon was RIGHT.....
Every time a kiwi moves to Oz, it raises the IQ of both countries.....

[marty]

If you know the rider or have any other amazing pics of people doing stupid things, contact news@heraldsun.com.au

think we could help these guys out here?

[Sofa]

Haha, my mum showed me this article the other day... Have a look at it and post what you think :banana:

(it might take a while to load, but its so worth it!)

[deanohit]

Bwahahahahaha, now thats crazy!

Notice how they made a point of how he's a kiwi!:lol:

[Ragingrob]

Kiwi ingenuity I reckon!

Or is that stupidity?

:bash:

It hardly seems fair to call "5th Repost" on a brand new member.
So I shan't.

[The Pastor]

i dont see a problem with that.

[Mikkel]

Hehe, that's bloody awesome... Though he'd be in big trouble if he had an off!

I wonder where he had all the beers. No BBQ without beer.

[Qkchk]

One of the Safety and Risk Services team was driving along the Eastern Freeway in Melbourne on the Australia Day long weekend when they came across a rider on his way to an Australia Day BBQ. Can you guess what he was asked to bring to the BBQ?

Obviously he has got the short straw.......and no car.

[Finn]

Sorry. He's a keewee.

[Ixion]

Yes, he is. Bloody Aussies, always trying to appropriate the Kiwi heros.

That's what I call a biker ! Respect.

[fireball]

repost number...... 6?
no o-fence or bbq ya know...:innocent:

[sunhuntin]

a related article referred to the bike as a harley... its a suzuki intruder.

yeh... its big news on an american forum im on.

[Kinje]

Got this sent to me this morning, was nearly guilty of a repost!

Friggin insane. Mind you, my g/f was telling me some of the stuff she saw them get get up to on their bikes in India and this seems somewhat calm compared to that- theres only one rider who is wearing a helmet and gloves, theres no chickens, dogs...

[Crisis management]

Whats wrong with that?
When a bike was my only means of transport I used to carry all sorts of rubbish on it, the only thing you have to be careful of is too much weight over the back wheel.....the small block V8 proved a bit of a handful on the back of the XR250 once. :doh:

Mind you, you shouldn't carry your 8 month pregnant wife on an XR250 either; one, there's not enough seat length to accomodate 2 1/2 people and two, pregnant women can be grumpy.

It should be part of basic skills, balancing with wide loads!

[Gremlin]

He beats a non-folding paddock stand hands down... I have so far to go :no:

[RearWheel]

HMMMM I dont feel so bad now being pulled over by the cops when i was 15 with 5 people and my dog on a RV125 lol

[RDJ]

HMMMM I dont feel so bad now being pulled over by the cops when i was 15 with 5 people and my dog on a RV125 lol

I'll raise your RV125 with an RV90 and a pillion towing a Mini Cooper... :woohoo::niceone:

[PrincessBandit]

My apologies if this has been on before. Just got this sent in email this evening. Surely, only in Austraaaaaylya maaaaayte? :gob:

[deanohit]

hahaha, is that a 250 as well?
Sure looks like it!

[Unit]

No a photoshop job - its real and was in the news the other day.

Whats worse tho is that he was a Kiwi :weep:

[Number One]

Only in OZ.....

[Steam]

Who says you can't fit a bbq on the bike?

I say you can't!
He wasn't looking through the grill.
And it wasn't a kiwi who did it.
And it wasn't in Australia.
And he wasn't embarassed.
And this is not a repost.

[Swoop]

Bloody excellent skills!

Top marks for ingenuity and providing an extra level of safety to the rider!!!

Maintaining 100kph would be interesting with all that added drag though.:laugh:
