MARY ESTHER — When George Puett saw a man trying to load siding on his motorcycle, he got out his camera and started taking pictures.

"Don't you have anything else to do?" asked the man, who was not identified.

"No," Puett answered. "I'm waiting for you to wreck."

Puett says it took the man two attempts before he managed to drive off down Bryn Mawr Boulevard, "wobbling back and forth."

Maybe he preplanned for “shrinkage.”

Or, not.

In Viet Nam just about anything that can be carried o a truck is routinely carried on a motorbike of 110cc or less or on two or three of them operating together.Vietnamese motorbikes seem to have infinite load capacities.

If you look closely at the front porch in the background, his solution was right there, just waiting to be used.

Looks more like PVC to me.

Yea, me too. I can approve of 8' pipes of PVC strapped horizontally across my motorcycle seat, I see it all the time. But siding, nope. /sarc

He just needed a skate board lashed under the trailing end.

You're right. Had that happened he never could have voted for Obama.

LOL! If God had intended for us to have fiberglass boats, he would have created fiberglass trees. sd

He should have put a pair of wheels under one end and lashed the other end so it would ride like a trailer.

Throw a red bandana or construction flagging tape on the rear and its then legal.

I ran an open mic in Olney, MD for a year. Every Thursday at 5pm, you’d see me riding from Rockville to Olney carrying my laptop, two 150 watt speakers, a 16-channel board, and two mics with stands, all strapped to the back of my Kawasaki Vulcan 750.

The speakers were on top of the saddle bags.
The mic and speaker stands were strapped lengthwise.
The soundboard was on the hump with the laptop.

Thank God for bungee cords!

I was working a saturday at the lumberyard when a Happy Home Owner came in and bought a 2X10-24foot peice of lumber.
He was driving a Subaru and wanted it put on his roof. When told that it isnt safe, the man said it was ok and he had some string to tied it down.{ it is 24 feet long, it has some heft to it}
If you want to see insane, go to a lumberyard durning the summer on a Saturday. Any car can become a truck if you load it right. fifty 2x4-8s in a BMW sedan?Sure, why the hell not. That 4x8-12 drywall will fit into a hatchback. Just sign here so when that piece of lumber slids off and torpedos the car in front of you, we dont get sued.

I’m cringing from here.

I used to own a pick up before we downsized to a condo, but for anything longer than about 10’, I’d pay the delivery charge.
