Strange things people carry on bikes

<< < (3/3)

I often pick up a 25Kg bag of chicken feed.  It sits on the pillion seat quite well and only needs a bungee cord to stop it sliding around.  The paper ones are best, less slippery.

I didn't learn to drive a car until I was in my mid thirties so I always seemed to have to carry strange things in ingenious ways.

(The one thing I could never manage was getting my bass and amp to gigs, so I used to book a black cab.  You can imagine their surprise when they turned up to find me with a bass, amp head and an Orange 4x12 cabinet on the pavement.  They were very good about it and I always gave a genorous tip.)

Its amazing what you can carry when you have too.
I used to carry all my chippy tools on a Suzuki GS125 I used to travel from Colchester to Walthamstow everyday. I couldn't go over 25mph as the front end would shake violently and then lift.
I upgraded to my Aprilia Pegaso at 18 and that gets loaded like an old donkey to this day.
I broke the rear subframe and blew the rear shock carrying 25kg of nails, 110v transformer, chopsaw and Ali hopup all in one trip.
I didn't lern my lesson as a few years later I did it again carrying my dad two hopups, two tups of ready mixed paste and tools

At the end of the day, he sat on his bike with his arms in the air, we sat the bag of coal behind him and duck taped him and the coal together.
He had a 25 mile ride home and got there okay.
