So far only a few bags of stuff from the store and my son to ball a couple of times.
I don't get out often enough. :(

I got one of those that I bought at walmart a long time ago. It was sitting in the garage not being used so I mounted it to the rack.

It's not really that durable but it does work. I lost one of the hinge pins from vibration and replaced it with a piece of metal coat hanger. I have to use the lock because I had it vibrate open once without them. laughs. I want to get one of the JC Whitney $79 cases one day.

I like the idea of being able to store my helmet and misc items. I don't mind carrying my jacket. The gun case would make a good tool box with the foam and all. Good luck to ya...

I mounted a small trunk on the back rack that came with an electric scooter my son had a few years back, he thought it looked "gay" so I never mounted it on the scooter. It won't hold much, so I use a backpack and strap it down real snug if I have to carry anything. Works pretty good, between the 2, got a 12pk, small icechest packed with leftovers, and a few snacks loaded, made a 30 mile ride to the camp last weekend, spent the night and came back the next day. I still like the Goldwing photo, wonder if he ever tried to pull a jonboat with it?

I am going to try to pull my Yukon XL with my bike. I will make sure there is a video if it works.

I am hoping to save a little gas this way.

I went to princess auto and bought a creeper seat, and a tie down to get it home with...

I've also had a crate strapped to the back with zap straps which I used to bring home 5 traffic cones I found abandoned... They weren't using them... honest.

A spare...

My Lifan's aren't the only ones I make carry things... I picked up 20 dvd shelfs for my sister at Ikea (I don't like a lot of their stuff but these shelfs are pretty handy).

What do you guys carry?

The very first post on this thread made me thirsty for a beer!

note to self: try not to be so affected by the internet.

2LZ · 05-23-2010, 10:22 PM

How about:

1- 4 man tent
2- sleeping bags (zip together, of course)
1- collapsable ice chest (talking about beer!)
1- hammock
1- queen sized inflatable mattress with battery powered motor for inflation
2- folding chairs
1- weeks worth of clothes and toiletries for 2 people
2- battery powered lanterns
1- 12v tire pump
1- mushroom plug kit
2- King sized pillows

I must have forgotten something! :wink:

Mix that with the Lassen outback and it has the makings for a good time!

katoranger · 05-24-2010, 12:29 AM

I strapped a Little Tikes slide to the back of my lifan.

SpudRider · 05-24-2010, 12:42 AM

I take my Zong grocery shopping all the time.

I can fit two bags of groceries in my J.C. Whitney travel trunk.

You guys are serious about camping!

When we do the road trip on my bike I pack a tent and a sleeping bag... My jacket is my pillow, and I sleep on the ground.

Those trunks are sure handy, I used to toss everything in it when I had my Lifan.

As long as they waited until you stopped to test ride it

Yesterday I hauled a box of clay pigeons and a Remington 870 to my buddy's house for some Redneck Playtime:

Last pic of my backyard at sunset yesterday. Not related but nice.

Love the insulated flannel and the green shorts. Priceless.

Glad you noticed Brother Jerry's attire.

No way to improve on that fashion statement! 8)
