Protect for my gun. Not the one you kill people with. The other kind

I fit an ice cold 40oz in the boot of my CBR 250R once on the way to the beach. It was a scorcher of a day and by the time I got to the beach in full gear I was damn well ready for that beer!

I also carried a backpack stuffed with groceries and two of those "green" grocery bags stuffed with groceries on my bike every week or so for almost 2 years. The backpack was on my back and the green bags were tied to the shoulder straps. They hung over the tank and I sort of hugged them in as I rode with them. It actually worked really well!

I'd say the weirdest thing was a starter for my car... The added weight helped my rear suspension around turns actually, lol. I've also ridden with a guitar strapped to my back, talk about massive air resistance...

One time I rode bitch on my friend's BMW 1200 while we carried an 8-foot Christmas tree back to his apartment.

A couple years ago I carried three windowboxes, including soil and plants, home from a plant sale. Two bungied on the passenger seat, and the third resting across my legs, wedged between the tank and my body.

I've filled my tank bag, tail bag, and a backpack with groceries a bunch of times.
