Do you tie on "luggage"

I like to use my motorcycles as a truck. Got some new straps called "ROK straps". Adjustable from 18-54". Come in a pack of 2 for $18.49. Get 4 for large jobs as you can tie them together and basically double the length. Here's carrying home two tires in a box.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I don't have trash pickup at home. Here's carrying a 32gal container to work to empty this morning. Look rather silly, but this is my truck.:laugh:

that reminds me of a guy I knew a long time ago, he wasnt the sharpest tack in the nailbag. He was in jail once for trying to steal a coke machine, this idiot tried to tie the coke machine on the back of a BICYCLE. no lie :woohoo:

Vaguely recalling this one was used for newspaper delivery.
Extra! Extra!



Perhaps the new tires might have been more securely carried by wearing them around your waist, in which event a full helmet with tinted shield is also recommended. :lol:

The trash can looks insecure and top heavy. Hope it's a short trip.
Maybe a m/c trailer would be safer and more practical.

There's a pic out there somewhere of a Honda Goldwing commercially used as a "wrecker" for towing disabled automobiles.

Good Fortune! :)

Actually even if the trash can is top heavy, these straps kept it right where I tied it. Didn't have a bit of problem. Saved having to drive "that stupid truck", which is what I call my other means of transportation.

Be careful. I remember this story of how my uncle's friend tied a jacket to his sissybar. Somehow a sleeve got caught in the back tire and produced a sudden unexpected lockup. I imagine a snapped strap would cause the same results. Interesting tho. Almost reminds me of those pictures of whole families and livestock being transported on little bikes.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
