A 60lb. crankshaft for my brother's car. Going up my steep hill was a bit slow, but going down the next VERY steep hill was kinda scary.

What about you all? Anything crazy?
That's funny. I found a weed eater on the side of the road a few weeks ago. I went back to pick it up at 11pm but it went poof :(. I had 5-6 bungee cords ready for action.

I wish I had my camera today. I sold an air compressor on Craigslist and delivered it across town on the floor of my scooter. It was an 8 gallon with a big pump on top. It was top heavy as * and I had nothing to anchor it to so straps were out of the question.

I found a nice one on the side of the road as well (Stihl). It seems they like to jump off the trailer racks the yard crews use is they are to lazy to strap them on. I asked around my neighborhood (to feel like I tried) if anyone uses a yard crew and if they lost a weed eater, no luck... so now I have a decent weed whacker :wink:

Cazsiest thing I have carried on my scoot isn't that crazy... Two sets of ski poles put into the drink holders on the sides of my backpack. They stuck above my head a good four feet and I got some great looks from car drivers, but nothing to crazy.

Car hood had to be my toughest. Not because its awkwardness, but because at anything past 25mph the whole bike wanted to take flight.

Nothing major got hauled on the 50cc bikes, but the bigger ones get large things all the time. I rode 300 miles on my Helix with another Helix engine and reartire on the back seat. Had to buy a small pillow to go between me and it.

My Elite 150 got to carry a 2.5hp Nissan outboard a few times.

I met a local man a few weeks ago who's mentally handicapped. All he does is ride scooters -- year round for that matter. Not long ago he carried 13 cases of soda on his '09 Metro. For the record he's not dumb. More like Forest Gump -- slow, if you get me. But he pulls the craziest stunts with his scoots and somehow gets away with it.

He has 3 Metros at the moment. An '05, '08, & '09.

Forest gump was dumb as a post and I havn't hauled anything cause my scooter doesn't run and hasn't run since 2008 I got it this month though.
