Snowboard + motorbike?

How would you carry a snow board on a motorbike?

I could drive there but the indoor place is at the Manchester Trafford centre meaning the traffic is awful and on most days nose to tail. It is even worse when there is an accident.

Bus/tram/train aren't really viable as it takes about 2 hours.

I need to get there for 8.30am for coaching.

The only way I can think of doing it is strapping it to my back vertically or at an angle over the seat or maybe strapping it to one of my pannier rails.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You'll get a lot more hits if you search for surfboards on motorbikes.

Sounds like a good opportunity for getting featured on one of those police camera TV series. Laughing

To carry crutches I attached them going back and up at 45 degrees attached near the rider's foot pegs and on the rack. (I used some drain pipes in this case to hold them.)

I've also carried skis flat on the top of rigid panniers point along the direction - it didn't mean I had to step around them when I got off, but worked okay.

I'm trying to work out if this is a serious question?

traffic isn't actually that bad (compared with the rest of my commute or slightly later in the day) around that end of the Trafford centre until after 8.30

does depend where you're coming in from however

Personally I'd get out of bed a bit earlier because it was something I particularly wanted to do and then if I
really didn't want to drive there myself then I'd book a taxi. But then again I'm not a tight bastard and I am
quite happy to pay the going rate plus associated expenses for my dopamine hits. In my mind, money is not
so important that efforts to accrue and retain it are worth having fun experiences on the cheap, just to keep a
large number on the big bank balance. Different priorities I guess.

Okay Mystic Smeg, I'd better clear a few things up since you're as good at knowing what I think as you are at snowboarding.

1. You're not on my radar nearly as much as you think you are. This is mainly because you're just some tiresome
humourless, internet know it all. Kind of like what Roger would be like if he didn't have that spark of humanity and
huge slice of wry humour that you clearly lack. Every time you post you prove it, you can't help yourself. This study
says this, that report says that. It's a fucking yawnfest, for all your self aggrandised intelligence you haven't figured out
yet that nobody likes a smartarse.

2. It's all rented in the scheme of things you berk, when I die it doesn't come with me and I've no family I want
to leave it to. Doesn't matter who built the fucker. When I'm done with it, who cares??? My ideal bank balance on checking
out day will be zero. Anything left will go to the dogs home. Why complicate the living part of my life chasing money
I won't and don't need? Because I'm not tight and greedy and I'd rather enjoy my life, that's why. So you go ahead
and leave your big legacy, only person that cares about that is you and your leeching kids that get their greasy mitts on it
when you're wormfood like we all end up. Making huge savings by cutting new tread in your tyres should expedite this.
I bet the kids can't wait for payday. Was snowboarding their idea? Thinking

I'll just make what I need to live comfortably
plus a bit on top for cherries. As I get older I'll sell it all off again as and when I need the £££. I don't feel driven to leave
any kind of legacy, I'm not that conceited and tbh I'm just enjoying the ride. You should try it sometime.

3. Why would I want to create new wealth for others? I'm no altruist. That said if I was in your snowshoes, a nice
taxi driver would be getting a fare, and a tip. Perhaps if you could find a chinese taxi driver you'd be be happy to
spent the money then? You know, to keep your money in your community and not bolster anybody elses?
I bet you'd take sandwiches from home too, just to do the snackbar out of a few more quid. You carry on like
what you do isn't solely to line your own pockets and raise the status of Itchy inc. Which of course like many of
your posts is just utter borrocks, just lying borrocks this time instead of boring borrocks which is the usual standard.

4. You blathered something about stereotypes (many of which you fit beautifully may I just say). All I have to say on
that is the old ones are the best, now off you scuttle on your hand carved poverty tyres and ancient bike with your
(borrowed) snowboard strapped to your ego and be super super happy joy joy pleased with yourself that you saved a
hundred quid on tyres and 20 quid on a taxi. I'll just be pleased that I've enjoyed my day again. Can't put a price on that.

I'm off to eat pizza, smoke weed, play grand theft auto and not worry one little bit about tomorrow and what it may bring.
I'm sure you'll have something far more grown up to be getting on with. Time is money etc etc Sleeping

Nah bruce, you were bragging about your frugality elsewhere in some other thread whilst simultaneously bigging your
ingenuity and intelligence up a bit, which makes a nice change. I never dug the thread out, tightness and stupidity like that
is quite memorable. I remember thinking at the time 'I bet he uses both sides of the toilet paper'.
I think last time you called me a paedo, now you've had a little think have you got anything a bit less predictable.
I do love how you, someone who'd have to get a grown up to get you down a much needed wank mag from the top shelf
is calling me little. You funny guy. And you're mad busy trying to save time whilst doing a fun pursuit. I bet you get invited to all
the parties. Personally I'd just sack the whole day off and go and have a laugh, but you just can't let go enough can you. Sad.

Oh look, you don't care so much you've come back yet again despite saying you're going to do something else. I'm so flattered.

Go to tesco extra, they sell 60L backpacks which are under £30 and are excellent for carrying stuff on a bike. lots of support and adjustment places to fit your back and the back of your seat, can be tightened up so it doesnt flap in the wind. i carry 1M+ airsoft guns regularly and it works great. any large backpack should do really, dont really know how long they are as havent been on one in years but it shouldnt cause a problem
