Craziest S#!T you've seen on a motorcycle
07/03/11 at 20:13:57

After seeing this,

http://entertainclub.com/21/crazy-motorcycle-or-perfect-driving-skills/

It reminds me of seeing a guy who lived up from me ride down the road with a keg ratchet-strapped to ass of an old 250 honda. (Closest beer joint is 10 miles into town)
Just wondering what all crazy things you all have seen in your journeys. Pictures strongly encouraged!

Craziest sh*t I'm seen,.. I was doin' myself...

Necessity is the mother of invention,.. and jerry rigging...

I went to the market a couple of weeks ago, for a 2lb bag of frozen spuds... They were on sale, so I bought two... there was a great deal on 1/2 gallon ice cream, a couple cans of beans... ... and two 2lbs of frozen veggies (on sale too)...
The cashier asked if I wanted them bagged...
I said,.. "I'm on a motorcycle,... would you mind double baggin'?...
She triple bagged 'em...
Rode home with them swingin' from my bars, and around my neck...

I bought a ten ft piece of 1/2" conduit home once, too... and two loaves of Italian bread under my shirt...

No pics though.... kinda' busy when I'm haulin'...

Small charcoal grill bungied on the rear rack.
Dowel rods run under the toolbag flap on the forks.
Carried bread or cigs under my jacket when the bags were all full of grocieries.
I pick and pack judiciously i can carry between 50 and 80 bucks worth of groceries in my homemade rear bag and saddle bags. Rear bag is a wal-mart cooler i added a sleeve to to slide over the back reast and 2 d rings for bungies under it to hold it down. Works pretty good and keeps cold things cool till i get home. Even haul ice cream in it...lol

Seen one guy hauling about an 8 foot pieace of pipe tied on the side of his bike awhile back...lol

I once delivered a poinsettia to my aunt in town, rode it in on my headlight bucket. I was really cute with the flower power. Wink

Another time I bought a .22 rifle when I was out with my buddy. It was a cheap look alike for the M-16. I strapped it on my back and road home. I did take the alternate route away from the middle school. Roll Eyes

I spent a couple of weeks in Thailand once, those guys were masters at piling stuff onto a scoote or small bike, I don't think there was much over 500cc. They also built racks, sidecars and all kinds of stuff to haul their treasures around. I once say a sidecar rig with two dead hogs in it.

No BS. Guy and his gal and they were not young. And I have a witness. CRAZY. He had to get out of his seat, lean way over to make a turn from a dead stop. Only in Florida.

My motorcycle is not a toy. My motorcycle is my vehicle. It has to carry anything I need to carry. I have carried 10' piece of 1/2" iron pipe, I have carried a 5 gallon water carrier on the bike, full. Last Friday I stopped at the mower shop after work, the edger was ready. Wife was did not answer her cell, so I carried it 5.5 miles home:

Who is crazier -- the person who is doing; or the person who thinks they cannot?

Paladin, nice bike. I see lots of original parts. What size is that headlight bucket and where did you get it?

This is a 7" Harley bottom mount headlight. The first try was a small piece of steel, two holes to match the Triple-T and a forward center hole for the headlight. Placed the headlight far forward, for me.

Second try, which I like, was just four pieces of aluminum 2" angle. Two holes to bolt to the Triple-T, one hole for the headlight, and 8 little bolt/nuts to hole the sides. No change to the stock Triple-T, just a little saw and drill to match two holes to one hole. With the boot to place the mount just the place I wanted it sit.

The headlight I got in eBay, it was for a buggy headlight but he only had one. Motorcycle was not mentioned and cyclist did not notice the ad. I got it for the $10 start bidding plus $10 shipping. I stole it. It looks like this one from the web: http://www.debrix.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=19929-M1 ($220).

I tried a 10Ah battery AND my rear fender in a nylon bag (single bag, mind you, bloody fender rattled off whilst I was going to get the battery) hangin' on handlebar. NOT fun.
