So fellow BCF'ers, what is the strangest/biggest thing you've ever carried on your bike??

For me was this earlier today.


Yes I know my bike is a ped, but it is all my license allows me to have until im 17

Calipers and handbrake off a 1967 Bristol 409, stuffed into a rucksack and bungeed on the tail of my GSX-R.

It wasn't fun doing 120 miles or so with all that on my back, and constantly checking it hadn't moved about under the cargo net.

Not all at the same time but,

Table (upside down, legs in the air)
two plastic garden chairs (legs either side of me)
tool box
6 full sized jerry cans (empty)
steel road pins (the things they bang into the road about waist height).
machette (for clearing undergrowth on a railway line at work)
A moslem girl with full headscarf under her crash helmet (the machette was strapped behind her)
concrete fence post
two passengers at the same time (on Pendine Sands)

The weirdest/strangest/largest thing i every carried was my mate Pete!

He is a big bugger standing at 6ft7 and weighing in at 22stone of mostly muscle, my poor bike didn't like it much though.

You have no idea how much that made me chuckle!

And is it just me awaiting Warped's response, probably something about him carrying a 1989 mini cooper on his 50cc scooter?

Disregarding hand grenades and weapons... About 8 years ago little kid next door broke his mom's glass in the front door and it was going to cost a fortune to replace. It is a long thin oval pane and I made a pattern out of paper and cut one out of clear acrylic for her. It was quite bulky (over a meter long and I brought it home from school sideways through the straps in a rucksack.
My daughter phoned. " Saw you on the way home from work on your bike, why were you dressed as a bumble bee?"

Not that strange but I used to carry my work tools sometimes on my Vespa.
Once carried a 25m coil of mdpe pipe as well which was a little awkward Smile

Just this morning, apparently the entire contents of a seagulls bowel !! ....splattered and splashed over the bike, bike jacket, and the tank bag.

Definately NOT what I was looking forward to after a busy 12 hour night shift Sleeping

Hi

Large Scalextric set, being held bar Charlotte on the pillion set. Go over about 50 and the wind resistance on the box started to push her off the back.

Had 125 2 stroke engines in a tank bag before as well.

All the best

Keith

Must've been small engines if you got 125 of them in.

Three things spring to mind:

A washing machine. It was only a half size jobbie on the back of a GT550 which had panniers mounted so as to create a large flat area. Took two of us to get it on and led to some interesting handling.

As a courier in London I once had somebody who absolutely had to get from The City to Heathrow immediately (technically I was delivering his passport and only gave him a lift out of the goodness of my heart), didn't matter that it was pissing down with rain and he was wearing a suit (not even a coat). By the time we got to the airport the amount of water in said suit must have put him over his baggage allowance.

But for me the strangest was when I was sent to an operating theatre at Chelmsford hospital to pick something up and take it to an operating theatre at The Royal London. Turns out it was a tub of human skin needed for a transplant.

Had to take an 2.7m inflatable rib around 25 miles on the BMW a while back.
