My first wife.

that is gold right there.

I managed to carry myself with a leg from hip to ankle in plaster. Does that count?

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.

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........

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.

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.

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.
