A small introduction, a really heavy load on a Bike

[ricardo]

My friend Mark with the Octamog just send me a link to your site and i see you have a segment for motorcycles so i decide to say hi, well i do go on a lot of trips but this pictures are more about Sport Utility Bikesin the proper sense of the word...

First of all I don't have a car, hell I don't even know how to drive one, so my Motobikes need to serve "Pick Up truck dutty" too, plus dirt bike, plus date Limousine, commuter, long term traveler, sleeping quarters, Breakfast table,,, aka anything.

here are some photos for you gals and guys to enjoy.

Yes I can carry My Bicycles, what is the big deal..

the best part is that I can also carry a passanger so we can go on really long trips (from california to alaska, colorado, utah, mejico, anywere) oviuslly with the proper safety gear and the require equipment too.

I also go to many Bicycle swap meets, so sometimes I need to carry a ton of stuff.

the shocks were so loaded i was afraid the bike will break in two.

almost 370 pounds of extra load, measure on a toledo scale, way more than the bike is soppose to carry that iis for sure.

super heavy 8'' inch cast iron belt sander and to complete a self standing 16,5" drill press.

I was so tyred the last time I was even unable to lift the bike into the center stand so I lean it next to the octamog (a friends Projects truck)

After that heavy load something like this is so easy.

Welcome to the Portal! - :beer:

you see I'm so used to it, to me is totally normal, in fact i'm being doing it for years with out any trouble (the belt sander day was kind of scary) even lane spliting in the streets of san francisco.

Now imagine what i will do if i drive something like this.

after my scary experince I will suggest , that is better to set up your spare tyre with a wrap around sanding belt and use your jack to lift it from the ground just in case you need to polish your nails or something of that kind..


hell you can even have a flat disc for the side, to sand flat surfaces too
