    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So what is the largest item you have put on your bike? I hauled a roofing shingle shovel 120 miles round trip. We have also trailered a trailer. Just how we "roll" here in the Hoosier state. ;)

 
I'm pretty sure Wazz is the biggest thing I've ever carried on the bike. Other than passengers, I carried a rather awkward-looking cat scratching pole home on the 850. That thing turned a few heads going down the road.

Complete engine to muffler exhaust system for a 2002 Corolla:

I ordered this on Amazon, and when I tried to install it found it was defective. Did a little poking around, found out the distributor was in Indy, got in touch, and they said "sure, bring it in and we'll swap and save us both a lot of trouble".

But my car was sitting there with no exhaust system... this was the solution.
 
Length?
A 16ft section of angle iron for the workshop when the local supplier couldn't drop it off that day.

Normally, anything too big and bulky for the bike goes in the small box trailer.

But it's surprising what the bike will carry on its own, including two top boxes and panniers.
 
I once carried a Cro-Magnon Man on the back of my GS1000G.

Those who were at Brown County 2009 know of what I speak….
 
You want to talk about LOOKS? Try strapping one of these on the back and heading through town. :-\\\

I was hoping that someone would have gotten my attention at a light to say what a bad idea it was.
I was all prepared to turn, look, then scream "HE WAS THERE JUST A MINUTE AGO".

Carried home a brand new 6' tall kids play slide still in the box once from Canadian Tire. 20 miles and plenty of looks.
