What's the strangest thing you've towed on or with your scooter?
« on: June 06, 2012, 12:03:06 AM »
When bringing a couple of bags of oil dry product (66 lbs) to another location to clean up a petrol spill on my scooter the other day, I got to thinking about the odd things that you could probably cart around with you on your scooter.

So, this begs the question: What's the oddest or strangest or heaviest thing/item you've towed on or with your scooter?

Looking forward to the answers!

1 sack of rice - 100+ pounds.

My son - 240 pounds (I'm 180 + 240 = 420 lbs.!!!   420lbs. on a Super 8 125!!!)

Hot water heater.  What it lacked in weight, it made up for in bulk...

Wow! I hope you pampered your scoot after the overloaded weight  :D   I can only think of how shifty a 100 lb bag of rice can be, and think that it can go bad quickly! haha

20' section of 1 1/2" pvc pipe. 350hp yamaha engine cowls. complete stern drive unit from a 20' asi Imperial. 4x4' sheet plywood.
The scariest was 300' of 5/8" anchor line with a 35lb anchor. The anchor was on the floorboard, and the line was over my neck/shoulder.

It takes exactly 300 feet to come to a complete stop... every time.

They all know me. I'm the only qualified marine mechanic around. And the only guy that rides up to a "yacht" on a scooter with your parts/my tools/power cords/cold drink in hand.
I am rather unique around here.

Two cats in two separate pet carriers.

Two ferrets.

Weekly groceries, whole shopping cart.

My gf and 12 ft. curtain pole on 50 cc scooter, all at once.

Bag of decorative rocks (for the garden) and two bags of garden soil.

Myself, daily.  ;D

I did not have a car between 2002 and 2009, so I pretty much moved twice all my things from one place to another using two scooters.

I did the same moving deal....once. It was pretty cool dragging the Vacuum with a potted tree tied to it.

Zombie, I think you should have your own reality show! From everything I've read on here, you'd be pretty damn entertaining.

So, I see that scooters are the new trucks!  ;D   Soon, friends will be calling, "Hey, I'm moving, and just want to know if I can borrow your scooter."

I've wanted to get something going so that I could tow my kayak behind my scoot, and may have just found the thing:

Then again, those pesky "I'm Moving" phone calls will only increase! :D
