Weird things you have carried by motorcycle

[Rick in WNY]

Craziest thing I've personally strapped to a MC... how about a dozen 6 foot pool noodles? Not near as hazardous as what some of you have done, but it made for one very happy bunch of kids when I rode the bike to the back yard, stopped, and started chucking pool noodles to them.

For reference, it was my daughters' birthday, and we were having a pool party, but someone (might have been me) forgot to pick up pool noodles beforehand. Just because we had moved into the house two weeks before that and I was busting my backside to get the pool to be "not green" before the party... yeah, I might have forgotten something. But I did redeem myself, and the look on their faces when I rolled out back with all the pool toys... priceless!

My college roommate carrying two cases of Old Milwaukee Beer in returnable bottles; one on each leg.  Only a couple of miles but i had to be reeeally smooth on the controls. Honda CX500 with no backrest. Made lots of trips and no beer or blood was spilled since I wouldn't (and still don't) ride once I start on the alcohol

I used to live at the top of a hill. There was a stop sign at the top. I was working in my garden one day and I saw a guy on a Gold Wing with a woman on the back. He had a gallon of wine between his legs and she had a large paper bag she was holding. he did OK till he got to the stop sign and then had a moment of indecision, couldn't figure out how to put the feet down and save the wine. Big crash, wine, glass, blood and crying GF. I helped them get back together but I bet the BBQ was a sober affair...

About 15 years ago we bought a rhododendron for mom for Mother's day. It was about 4 feet tall and in a 3 gallon pot. We sat it on the right saddlebag and Maggie steadied it for the 4 mile ride across town. The looks we got were priceless.

It was the Summer of 1977.
As newly weds, and no car driver's license, our only transportation was a Honda CB360J. Once, we loaded both of us, a puppy, and a 25 lb. bag of puppy chow.
And weekly, we used to carry both of us, 3 large paper sacks of groceries, and, a few times a week, both of us, an a laundry hamper to the laundromat.
That bike was a veritable mule, and never missed a beat!
Fun times.....
