OK, i was a motorcycle messenger in the 80's just after uni... unemplyment rocks, but not as much as eating does.

four computer monitors, only 5km, but they were boxed: one in the rear bag (about a two foot square opening), one in front of the bag, one lashed on top of them, and one cradled in my arms on the tank. probably about 12 inch monitors, pretty small. and it was raining, as i recall.

Two small dogs in a dog carrier for a large dog. (Stay still and stop squirming dman you!)

and once (and only once) 'four small bags' of something heavy, i was told on the radio. arrive to collect and its four bags of lead shot, about 50-60 pounds per bag. small bags alright, but heavy canvas sacks just under a foot high. (Wat's that mate? you don't have a pick up? you're on a motorcycle? hey, its OK, Ill take the job...

I nearly crashed several times as they shifted in the gearsack behind me.

of course, i live in Asia now, and all that **** pales into total insignificance here.... see other photos above.
