That afternoon, I ordered three 5 gal buckets of oil for another customer, I called the oil distributor, told him I would be making 2 trips, he asked why, I told him I was on my bike, He delivered the oil,,,,
I TRY!
Last year I needed to get some product from a local guy, he said he could produce the items, but was so busy he couldn't deliver. I arranged to pick them up on the way home, and take them in to work myself. The boxes were about 3 foot long, and about 1 foot on the sides, say 70 pounds.
I admit, I just did it to see how the Big Dummy would handle it, and for the reaction. His face when I walked in to his little factory in riding attire was priceless! When he saw the bike he was blown away, very interested in the whole thing. Yes, I got it back to work, about 20Km all told, with a decent hill at the end.
