    A BMW 318. Well, it was tied to the back of my KMX 125. A couple of mates giving the car a wee push to get it moving, then off we went, with my mates now sat in the car. We got it up to a reasonable speed.

    Although I hadn't thought things out properly, so I didn't envisage what would happen when my mate attempted to bump start almost a ton of Germany's finest machinery, by dumping the clutch in 1st gear, with me tied to front of his car.

    I flew.
    It hurt.

    Strap the 12 packet of lou paper onto the back of the bike.

    What about trying those new green eco bags then.....?
    They are supposed to be stronger than the foodtown plastic bags.

    Or put a few plastic bags inside each other to make them stronger.

    I carried a gallon (4litre) tin of bright red roof paint on my tank, had a serious off and ended up laying in it, bleeding like a stuck pig!

    Caused some anxieties for the arrivals upon the scene, it was dark, they had torches! John.

    I have to confess it's not me ... but I saw a scooter with a bicycle across the seat. I think the rider was sitting on the crossbar. I thought I was going to have to give way to him (was turning right), so I was watching - took a while to figure out what I was seeing. Eventually I saw his indicator for his left turn.

    Rather wider than the 1m max width, I think.

    Ahhhh... the spit roast.




    Carried some long shelving on 'ol suzi plus all the brackets and stuff.

    Oh and last week I filled my tank bag full of bags of tropical fish! The woman in the pet shop did not click until I plonked the bag on the counter and started packing these bags of fish inside!! ...the fish were fine by the way... they are happily swimming around in their new home.

    Hell yes, and they already come equipped with helmets so you only have to shell out for boots, gloves and leathers.
    "Safety Cameras" Yeah, right!

    A bloody door sized shelf!. My pillion was holding it on... and I rode slowly enough so that any gust of wind (sidewind, or anything the door caught as soon as it got slightly off "perfectly straight") could be hauled back in and dealt with.

    NEVER AGAIN!
