Just had a thought , after seeing something this morning.... But more a question to ask..
What is the weirdest thing people have seen transported on a motorcycle?
This morning I saw a pedestal fan being transported on a 250cc bike...
Previously, I have seen surfboards on scooters..
Can anyone beat that for weirdness?

There was the famous photo of a BBQ being transported on a motorbike in VIC last year. How he managed to get on the bike and ride it whilst looking through the griller is beyond me.
But as they say, only in VIC!

I bought a GS 1000 years ago & it had 2 huge (but really well made) frames bolted to the sides of the subframe level with the pillion seat, the bloke used to cart him, his Mrs & both their sets of golf clubs around on weekends.
Would've looked bloody hysterical I reckon, I joked with him that he needed a pair of loud tartan leather pants to complete the 'look'
I have also seen a damaged XJ 900 lying on its side in the gutter with a busted up windsurfer/mast/sail occy strapped to it, the board was at least 2 ft longer than the bike at each end & the mast was even longer again, there were a couple of straps wrapped around the front of the board & through the forks

It made me wonder how far he got before he inevetibly binned it.
There are plenty of pics on the 'net of C90s with 5 person Asian/African familys aboard & all manner of livestock.
I personally am guilty of climbing through a set of tyres & riding to the bike shop to get them fitted, at a set of lights, a couple of jokers in a Commonwhore wanted to know if I was the Michelin man, "Don't be stupid" I said, "They're Dunlops"

I like the michellin man joke

)
And yes, been well aware of whole asian families travelling on bikes... (I lived over there for a while) ...
But it was more the 'what have we actually seen?'
The windsurfer may have been attached as his motor didn't actually run? a wind powered bike?????? that will be the day/!

I saw a young bloke at Coles putting his shopping on the rear hangers of his GPX250, sitting on the pipes.
Not sure how far he got
