I'm heading down to a bit of a do in the next few days and this got me thinking.

If I loaded up the CB with cans, top box and side panniers, it'd weigh more than me (I could easily get 100kg of water in there). Obviously the rack and/or boxes would likely snap before I even finished putting it in.

I had about 24 cans and a few bottles in there for the last BCF BBQ and that made my bike feel like a pendulum.

Any interesting pictures out there? Very Happy

Well I got a 24 pack of Kronenburg on the back last week with a couple of bungies. But if I wanted to get loads of beer I would use the car.

Went to France earlier this year on business you should have seen the boot. Prob going to do a booze cruise next year too.

I'm always a bit stupid taking loads on the bike, never needed rescuing yet, but that day will come. I'm the guy with shopping bags over both mirrors, helps if you double bag and only have soft stuff in them though.

If the bike can carry two peeps take it from there.

1 litre or piss weighs 1kg or about 2lbs.

Yeah, but it's quite difficult to load alcohol in the same way as a person. You'd have to somehow glue a load of crates together in a way that'd mean they wouldn't just rip apart.

If you stick it in a top box you'll get nowhere near the mass of even a small person at 60kg or so. I reckon if I stood on my top box mount and it didn't snap the front wheel would go up. If it didn't, it certainly would at speed. Moments and all that.

I'd be willing to bet that Marmalade has carried more on one of his Pans.

I once put a 24 pack in a rucksack, the rucksack split, and it was very messy, and very embarassing, and I'm pretty sure the car behind going at the same speed as me (~55mph) wasn't too happy.

Shouldn't fucking tailgate learners should you then. I bet his stupid BMW still reeks of Budweiser, hah! The guy who I sold the YBR to didn't seem to notice the smell on the back of the bike so it all turned out well.

I guess the lesson here is, buy a fucking topbox if you want to transport beer.

Nope. Police in Guildford don't seem to give a shit. Been riding with a shattered indicator for almost a month now, nobody cares. Saw four bikes filter past traffic in a coned-off part of a bus&goods vehicle lane past two bike cops waiting in the traffic, they didn't even look over.

Rode like that for a good 25 minutes through traffic, not filtering due to width but pretty sure I was seen by a police car in a layby, they didn't move. Apparently i'm not worth the effort of a tug since it's only ever going to lead to a fix-it ticket and maybe some words on unbalanced loading....

Both these weren't coming off.

You can carry a person on the back so in theory you can carry a lot of weight you just have to ensure its strapped down tight and careful when getting off

Amazing, you should have turned it on.

I carried 48 cans of Carlsberg plus a weeks shopping on my RXS.

My mate used to put the crate of beer on his tank and ride with it between his arms.

About 84 330ml cans absolutely no hassle. Could have easily taken more.

Ok, it was coke zero. And it was on my push bike (basic rack and old panniers, nothing fancy.)

He asked for the most 'Alchohol' on a bike Wink I could probably claim to have carried more than that having a little hip flask in my pocket! Laughing Laughing

Does remind me though, of turning up to the Bulldog one year; I had a 24 pack of Stalla down the front of my jacket.... well most of it was hanging out the front!

I'd got two-tier tank-bag on the tank, my cousin 'Mouse' on the pillion, throw-overs full of stuff, camping gear on the tail, and mouse had all her stuff in a ruck-sack.....

We'd stopped at a post-office in Henley in arden to get top up vouchers for the phones, and they had the Stella on 'special offer', so I thought it would make a nice bit of breakfast....... (Tank bag had a bottle of JD for her each evening, and a bottle of morgans for me each evening.... we didn;t really NEED it!)..... wasn't until I went to mount up I thought '"Ah! Now WHERE can I put this!" So it went down the jacket.

Pulled up to the gate, BIG sign "No Booze past this point! Plenty in the Beer-Tent"; there was a long line of half full cans and bottles parked by the fence, left by folk that had been told to leave it behind, and four teenagers stood walking half back up the line from the pedestrian entrance, trying to down the last of the quarter bottles of vodka they had in thier pockets!

Mouse was suddenly terrified, and 'How can we hide THAT' pointing at my chest!

Rather amusingly, the rather 'new-age' girl, provided by festival recuruitment or whoever, was intercepted by bearded biker with cateracts to take our money..... handing mouse the wrist strap, telling her to make sure I put it on once inside, becouse I obviousely had my 'hands full', and making other jokes!

Yeah,. back on topic; amazing how much 'stuff' in general you can get on a bike. At one point I used to take the VF1000 to Netto to do the family shopping...... if I took the car, the ex used to insist we ALL go, which filled the car with people, and the boot with push-chair, so we had no space for shopping!

I think I had about 60 tins of variouse beans, tomatoes, sweet-corn and whatever in a 45l panier once..... half a dozen loafs of bread cargo-netted to the pillin seat.... bottles of pop stopping the bungee crushing them!

However....... take spirits! More alchohol, less to lug! Tell some-one else to bring the mixers if you have to have them!

I had to pick up a bit of booze to take to an xmas party the other week (rude to turn up with nothing), but was on the bike with no rucksack, tailpack, etc. I figured beer would be too difficult to carry and didn't fancy haning a carrier bag off my handlebars, so got a bottle of wine and stashed it inside my jacket.

All was fine, but half way home I realised the consequences of dropping the bike had now become vastly more dangerous Shocked as even a minor incident could result in large pieces of broken glass in close proximity to major organs Shocked Shocked Shocked . The last mile or so was ridden very gingerly... Neutral

Not going to win prizes for largest amount carried though Smile

About a year and a half ago me and my house mate trekked to the nearest Tesco to stock up for freshers week, we took six crates of Tuborg and a few spirits and headed on our merry way back across North London. I had a big 35l camping rucksack full and he as was on the back with a smaller rucksack full, it was the most painful ride I've ever done, I thought we were going to tip on every corner, my back was killing me after as well.
Felt it was such an achievement at the time that pictures were taken before and after Laughing

So in total about 72 beer bottles and a few extra, does I win ?

About 20 or 24 cans of something crappy like Fosters I think, in a back pack in my first year. Didn't drive very far, few miles at most. Pretty stupid thing to do, would have seriously injured myself falling off with all that on my back. Attach to the bike FTW!

well the mk1 trailer of doom (as it got nicknamed, handled like shite...) behind the 750 did a short run once, shook up my crate of boddy like a motherfucker though.

And the Keg has been known to transport loads of homebrew, Record in the keg was 2 gallons of mead, 1 gallon of cider and 3 litres of sailor jerrys.

I still think the winner is nath though....

Cant seem to find the picture anywhere at the moment, But i seem to remember him transporting 6/8 crates on a honda bros once because they were on sale. 4 on the pillion seat, 4 on the tank and possibly one or two on the front mudguard if i remember correctly?



Cheers
John
