O.K., so how many .....

No milk crate but I once used a drywall compound bucket inside a duffel bag for hard luggage for a trip to mid Ohio vintage days.

Have never used a milk crate, but do use a Playmate cooler for carry-out foods and grocery shopping in the dairy isle.  Secure with bungees on my carrier.

Does a Pick a nic basket filled with wine, cheese, assorted veggies, potato salad, and meats count?
Guilty.

65 bikes 0 crates

34 bikes...0 milk crates...  

However, if I owned a vintage Honda Trail 90...I might be inclined to do so!

Never had a milk crate on a bike but they were the right size for records and I made a bed base out of them. Thirty six stolen crates when I was young and far more interesting.

I never have - but I did win a raffle prize once and had to ride home at about closing time for the pubs with a giant pink teddy bear on the back.

I'm picturing that and I hope it goes away before I try to sleep!

Had one on my eldo for 15 years.  I took it off and cleaned up the bike.

I tend to use whatever is about.  I used one on the back of my Suzuki FA50 last time I was at Mid-Ohio.  One of my buddies joked about it (I was riding a scooter) and didn't get any of the beer I was carrying.

I’m tempted to go strap one on the back of my Touring, snap a pic and post just to horrify everyone.  Not only does my daughter keep a milk crate on the back of her CT90, she has one that’s for regular duty and a “touring” milk crate that’s 6 or 8 inches wider.

Have cars, trucks and trailers for hauling things. No bags, no racks, or milk crates, no passengers.

How could anyone with a motorcycle as primary transportation have an issue with this? Milk crates are the most practical and versatile cheap-tour motorcycle accessory ever developed. They're stout, can be bungeed every-which-way, and can be used for other things like sitting on, holding things up or capturing critters when you get wherever you're going!

Exactly.  Sophie goes camping with her bike.  The tent and gear go in the milk crate.  She sets up the tent, unloads her gear and then runs to a store near the campsite and puts groceries in it.  Then she uses the crate as a camp chair by the fire.  Is there a more versatile piece of motorcycle gear?

Extra style points for the Motörhead t.
