Goldsboro, NC | I thought I had a contender. I once carried a sewing machine on the pillion seat.
Lone Ranger posted on another thread that he carries his bagpipe case.
Ranger may be the hands-down winner right from the start... but let's hear some of the weird/strange things you've carried on your bike. (Don't tell me you mother-in-law... or Chris of varyder fame... we all know those are both completely inscrutable).
Have fun! |

Sugar Land, TX (Outside of Houston) | My sons and I went to the Renaissance Festival here near Houston and they all Bought Ninja Swords. So - needless to say, we all had Ninja Swords hanging around out necks as we rode home. Got some very odd looks from vehicles but no Road Rage

LaPorte,Tx. | Fire wood this year when up by Sturgis. The trailer behind me was for the Harleys in the group, there is one thing the Harleys can do that my Vision cannot do and that is go up the ramp.

| A few years back I carried a five foot white teddy bear from my sister's house back to mine. I had to improvise a bungee seatbelt but what got asked at a traffic light on the way home, "where is the bear's helmet", I replied that since his brains were already nuthing but stuffing we didn't need to care about protecting his head from an impact. LOL |

North Orange County CA | Never have had a dog small enough or well trained enough to ride with me; but when I was in college I had a Grey Squirrel pup that adopted me one day while I was on a walk. He rode to class inside my leather jacket , occasionally he would climb onto my shoulder at traffic lights. Little cat sized collar and a 36" rawhide boot lace attached to my belt loop gave him lots of climbing room.
He ended being a fickle sort, and decided that he liked the "hippy chick" I was trying to court better than me. She decided the same thing, pretty quickly too!
They ended up together. My german shepherd didn't think either was much of a loss; she was apparently a better judge of character than I.

Mount Vernon, WA United States | I've packed boxes, and groceries, and guitars (not at the same time)... none of that seems strange to me. I guess the strangest thing I have ever carried on the back of my bike was my ex-Wife.
Sorry... someone had to say it, and in my case it's true.... both about the carrying and she was pretty strange. |

Belding Michigan | I was in Shipshawana Indiana and found the perfect gift for my wife as she is into Wind Chimes. Found a set at the Amish store that was 6.5 feet long and tuned to sound like Church bells. I bought them then realized that I was on the bike so strapped them on the back seat and rode in the middle of the lane for 200 miles home no problem but a happy wife. Archie |

Brighton, TN | I can't believe SandCamelJim, propping up my manliness, he said I was "pain in his arse!" I deliver on the promises with the goods I bring to the show. 'sniff, sniff'. While propped on his highness's perch, you have to sniff what's in front of ya! I still think he needs to up the shower frequency, or have the wife rub on him a little more. I can't tell if it's old man odor or just waftiness of muskiness, either way he don't smell purty like a PYT. Furthermore, I only got on behind him cause he was telling me we were joining a team racing event. He didn't tell me I could ride my own bike. I really think he was just wanting me to wrap my lovin' arms around him. One day back in college, might.... So, there we were, ready to team race. We started movin' and I was just trying to help drive, I can't believe he has held on to this thing for so long. Fine, let's get it out in the open. If I start to lose, I'm a gonna start in on the rest of the family. |

I often ride my 8-Ball to work and when I do I bungee an igloo 24 lunchbox to the rack, one day I needed to replace a chair for my break time so I bungeed a resin chair upright to my lunchbox and took it to work, people kept telling me that granny fell off. |

Brighton, TN | Tarpits99 - Ok, now you've intrigued us, we need more nostalgic photos as such. That's awesome, wool sweater, bike that appears to be too small, and a ton of stuff on it and no saddlebags or trunk. Does appear there is another helmet behind him, unsure where the person would fit. |
