How about this

[Chains]

Or this

A true story.....

This reminded me of a acquaintance that was heading across country (PA to CA) on a Honda CB450 in the early 80's.

He did not have a clue, but had welded bars to the back of the bike so he could carry all of his chit.

he loaded up on a Friday morning and made it less than 1 mile from his home.

He crashed at the first turn and earned a ride to the Hospital.

He was not seriously hurt, but we still laugh at the ill conceived trip of 3000 miles ending after less than 1.

OK, He was a dope..........

It is actually amazing that someone could look at an overload situation and shrug it off as what the H it seems stable I'll be fine.

This summer on a poker run in Maryland we were at the last post and a guy on a late 80's FXR was buying beer to take back to camp.

He had a BSR, 3 cases of beer and 3 40lb bags of ice.

I just stood there watching this crazy exercise.

he had 2 cases on the tank, BSR held 1 case and 2 bags of ice laying on rear fender (not tied down, just laying there). He then put the last bag over his handle bars...............

The only thing I regret is not getting a picture of that......

Why do you need to take all that stuff?  Just curious

[guppytrash]

Should do some nice wheelies without much effort

[fresh oil and pipes]

It is yours if you are happy and feel safe then I am happy for you would never judge another persons stuff not saying this is but we have all done some odd things. Ride Hard/Ride Safe

[fatboybern]

right on guys yeah if was by myself i wouldnt need much to be happy trailer is in the works but after you put two air matresses 2 sleeping bags all her clothes a t shirt and jeans for me and all my cooking chit that was what she looked like and i no it seems huge but we weighed it and it did not work out that much more than the gvwr rating gotta think the girl is only 110 lbs or less and im only 200 maybe more depends how much beer is in my stomach and i was really having second thoughts when i lifted her off the stand to hed out but suprisingly you didnt even no it was there once you were up to speed i even had to swerve hard to miss a deer on that trip deer probably got a lick of my saddle bag a we rode by you just had to make sure you were ready when you come to a stop thats all dont let the size fool you on the weight though

[spada84]

I was thinking wheelie bars...

Trailer is the way to go if you gotta have that much chit.

Be safe,

Why not attach a coffin to that plywood? It would serve all your needs.
Pack now, insert self later

Good job Marty

i would think all that weight behind the rear wheel would make the front end a bit light. it`s not the total weight, but where it`s placed that matters.

But it's OK when it's done for beer!
