    I discovered that if I take the seat out of my Ural chair I can haul four 5gallon gas cans to the cardlock and back. No pics but I did get some weird looks and comments from other patrons at the fuel stop. One guy looked at me and said" that thing must get horrible mileage to need that much fuel".

    Had to de-junglefy the yard for a friend who just moved into their house (yard looked like it hadn't been touched in months:eek1). Makes me glad I haven't spent much time beautifying the tub, it's awfully nice to just throw crap in whenever I need!

    You've done a lovely job building your rig, but I cringe at the thought of doing a face plant into that screen.:D

    Yesterday I rode about 20 miles home with a 4' x 8' sheet of coroplast loaded onto my rig.

    No photo, but imagine standing the sheet up lengthwise on the lower struts between the bike an chair. Nylon straps around the front and rear of the sheet to keep it from shifting fore or aft, and one over the top to resist lifting.
    Plenty of visibility over the top of the sheet, and no noticable effect on handling.

    In the past I have carried full sheets of plywood this way as well.

    When you don't have a car/truck, you learn how to make do...

    Just junk from the hardware store.. Trying to finish my Man-cave downstairs.
    Had a guy at the Home depot wondering why I would risk damaging a "classic" motorcycle by loading lumber on it.:rofl

    Yeah, I will also get questions about how I am going to carry something on my motorcycle. But sometimes I forget that others might not consider that normal behavior.

    When I was trying to buy the 4x8 sheet of coroplast the guy at the customer service counter kept saying, "You just want to ORDER a sheet today, right?" And I would say no, I want to buy one. This went back and forth several times before he finally pointed at my helmet sitting on the counter and asked just how I intended to get a 4x8 sheet home on a bike...
    It just seemed so natural to me that I would carry it on the sidecar that I failed to comprehend what he was getting at as far as ordering vs. buying till he spelled it out. Doh!

    Then he and a coworker actually came out to the parking lot to see if I could actually get it loaded.
    They admitted that my setup looked much safer than what many people end up with when trying to load sheets onto the roof of a compact car. :clap

    Front wheel for K 75 and frontwheel for R 90/6, both with new tires. Fitting easily in the lastenseitenwagen ( and would even be dry if it rained ) :D
