Hmm, some one want to start a Pizza delivery biz.


Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

For the man who has to take his wife riding, but is tired of her smacking the back his helmet all the time.  :2funny:


Or..... Jim was pretty proud of his new minimalist RV travel vehicle, but was having trouble finding an air mattress to fit it.

Or......Bob really liked his new big storage trunk, but was dismayed to discover that when fully loaded, his motorcycle wheelied at every launch. 

And he has obviously forgotten to put a rack on top.

Geez....more money than sense!  :uglystupid2:

The real Ultimate Valkyrie trunk. ;)  Holds about the same as an I/S, but cost a lot less. Trunk put together from 3 junky GL1100 trunks, added the handle and rack, added cables to keep the lid from flopping back and cracking the hinge mounts....not on the OEM version. Paint done by The Mountain Man. The trunk mount is also from an 1100, length cut down so it mounts directly over the rear axle. Welded two brackets so I can bolt it to the sissy bar mounts. Including the paint job I have about $125 invested, 6 small bolts and it's on/off. I can remove the trunk(has a handle) and use the mount as a luggage/cargo rack if need be. Even then, all the weight is over the axle so it doesn't feel like something is back there with a high center of gravity.

Well the owner must be tall. It looks like the top hinges up.
The bottom of that trunk is a long way down when reaching in from the top.

He probably carries a two foot step ladder in it.   ;D

Talk about being top heavy. Just imagine the mileage he gets if he's riding down wind....shut off the motor and coast.

Didn't that guy have a yellow and creme valk with a similar box for his co-pilot?  I saw a picture once (may still have it some where) with him hauling around a Jack Russell Terrier in it.
