this may seem obvious to some

[Bosun]

but transporting a 6' flourescent tube on a motorbike is not one of my better moves :D
i however have light in the garage now

[Jonnyfp]

I'm told an unwired flourescent (lol) tube will light up under pylons.
is this true??

[Gypsy]

yeah i tried carrying a lengh of wood batoning once... tis tricky round the corners :D

[cxdemon]

Yup but you have to be shorting the pins on one end, we use to play light sabres with em til one burst, oh and i discovered if you hold a vhf or uhf handheld radio under one and transmit it blows em as well ooops! :o

That may be true, but I find it doesn't illuminate the garage as well as a fluory tube does :D .

Does if you soak it in petrol and apply a naked flame!! :D

Carried 6 lengths of copper tube on a bicycle, like the charge of the Bengal Lancers. Got two six foot lengths of four X two home on the duke. It's all in the way you carry them.

I once carried a 56lb bag of potatoes on a very rainy night onto an Edinburgh bus & was surprised when the arse fell out of the bag & the spuds rolled up & down the bus for the rest of the journey :rolleyes:

It's even better when you're trying to pretend they're not yours...... :o

[Fran]

ahhh, this brings back happy memories of a thread i started back in july called something like whats the maddest thing you've ever carried on a bike. for me it was transporting our old dog the one hundred and seventy odd miles from brum down to poole. my wife wrapped her donkey jacket around her (the dog) and off we set, we stopped once at a lay bye in chippenham, rocky jumped off the bike , had a piss, jumped back up between us and we carried on down to poole. simple. :D

[Spike]

i think the strangest thing i've carried was a 5' broad sword on my old MZ TS125, from Stratford to Coventry.....

It was boxed btw :p

[madastoast]

the strangest thing I've carried on a bike is the sister in law :D

[Nitrowing]

I climbed inside 2 tyres that I'd got a bargain on and rode home like the Michelin man...
I towed a Nissan Sunny with an X7... :(

[Dougie]

Done that.....
Cos I've got a big feck off sissy bar on the bike it's amazing what I can bungee on the back-56lb bags of cat litter,an electric bass,a VAX vacuum cleaner (still boxed),a 3'6" x 2'6" sheet of mirror stainless.......

[Mrs Reject]

Good grief!!! And I thought carrying the exhaust pipe home that had fallen off the bike earlier was hard work :D

[Dougie]

Not all at the same time! :D

[Bosun]

56lb bags of cat litter.


eeek what you keeping a lion?

[Dougie]

Nope,just 3 moggies with healthy appetites.Also it's cheaper than the local "Apu"(if you get my drift)

[Mitch]

The maddest thing I've ever seen carried on the back of a bike is... no not Mrs R, she's a close second :D ... a mate of mine took a half full barrel of Guinness to a rally once on the back of his CX500 custom.

Great amusement to be had when we were all trying to work out how to get the Guinness from the barrel as no-one had brought a tap with them :eek:

Cop out if ever there was one!! :D

[bill?]

once went to a breakers with me mate and he saw an engine he wanted, so on the way home he drove the bike, I sat on the plastic bit over the rear light with engine on the pillion seat between us. 20 odd miles of hell.

[Spike]

Cop out if ever there was one!! :D


The bike or the boxed sword ? :D

[Freak]

Two of us transported a 3lb live trout a lad had cought in the local river 2 1/2 miles to a mates pond/small lake he'd not long dug. The lad held the fish in a keep net while I warmed up me bike. We then wrapped the trout in a damp cloth, popped it in a carrier bag and I rode flat out, two up with said fish hanging from the bars. 3 weeks later me mate was stunned when he spots a large fish jumping for flies in his new pond. It was months before we confessed.
