Metal idjits latest thread on dropping bikes got me thinking about what crazy assed shit Ive hauled on a bike. You know bulky, large, weird, etc. Ive hauled surfboards, tools (skill saw & sawzall), lots of groceries and 7 12 packs of beer. The 12 packs was nice...92 FZR600. In Myrtle Beach SC with some buddies. We and another guy go to get beer. I had 2 12 packs on the tank, loose just held there by my forearms. We ahd 2 12 packs in between us. He had another in a backpack and 1 in each hand. Only had to go a couple miles so it wasnt too bad. Also riding with a big wind sail AKA surfboard strapped on the back isnt easy. SO lets hear..who's moved a piano or coffee table or shit with a bike.
A shotgun that I sold to my boss and had to strap to case to my back like a ninja sword all the way from Baltimore to dc. Yes........plenty of curious looks to say the least
Rode from Columbus to Dayton with a 12 gauge shotgun to go pheasant hunting. Got a lot of looks on the highway with that rig!
Yay I get to reply "your mom" before anyone else! Most looks would be the AK sticking out of my backpack. Biggest would be something simple like a tire.
I’ve hauled a nail gun and a Bosch Laser with tripod (at the same time) on the panigale. Was just ten miles, but no backpack or bag on bike. All belt, jacket and seat
I don't know if anything can pass the shit I saw on the news while I was at work. The cops pulled a dude over because his tag was expired, and he was driving a little erratically. It was some oldass beatup car, with a bearded redneck in it. When they pulled him over and looked inside, the dude had... A live rattlesnake A bottle of Jack Daniels A 1/2gal glass jar full of yellow cake Uranium. A fully loaded 44 Magnum I have no idea what that dude was up to or had planned, but I am sure it was epic.
once had to ride from Hanover, IL to Indy (about 350 miles)... with a tire around my mid section... I stopped at some rest area on the way & some idiot suggested I install the tire...lol Of course it was a Sunday and the shop that was supposed to be open in Hanover was not and I got pretty drunk Saturday night and showed some partygoers how to do a burn out...lol. When I got to my buddys place in Indy...he just shook his head.
How about a Honda EU3000i generator on a dual sport? It wasn’t me. It was a crazy cat named Kenny. He rode in that fashion from the north side of Houston to Flatonia, TX.
gixxer bro here. i road trip 1-2 times a year so i custom fit hard bags on my gixxer 1000. not gonna lie locking bags are fucking sweet, dont care that they belong on a harley. on my last road trip i ran into a harley guy in montana with nearly identical bags. we bonded.
Biggest thing I ever hauled on a bike was my high school buddy, Jason. He was 6'5" and 200+, and on a 1984 RZ350 you really had to work to keep the front wheel on the ground. Plus the aesthetics. I was 5'11", and the rear of the seat is several inches higher than the front, so he must have stuck our a good foot higher than me!
One night out of boredom, me and two of my buddies rode a Honda 90 (C200) to the beach and back, about 75 miles each way. Those pushrod 90s were underrated workhorses. I saw one the other day. We must have been some skinny dudes to fit on that thing.
Suddenly my four 12 packs of Old Style bottles and 2 baggies of Coy fish for my roommates brown Cayman alligator seem uneventful.
Pizza, really heavy stuff that helped me do wheelies when I don't do wheelies. All sorts of odd junk when I was a courier and the bike was my only transport for 18 months or so.
