It made me laugh so much I now use the picture as one of my Atavars. <br /><br />Obviously it is not only Redneck's who find themselves standing in line at the Pearly Gates having just said : "Hey watch this" ! <br /><br />Stupid is as Stupid Does ! <br /><br />BTW : Is there going to be a part 2 to the story of Ron the Teddy Bear ? Or was his willingness to take his course, sitting on a Trail Bike, AGATTed up, the end of it ?Young Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555960598884624382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-19213026230965260982009-12-29T10:09:32.687-08:002009-12-29T10:09:32.687-08:00Young Dai,

One does have to wonder just what goes on in those temples, though.<br /><br />Reading this, I think, "there, but for the grace of God, go I". I've had similar reactions when somebody told me it can't be done!<br /><br />Krysta,<br /><br />Very funny. You should be grilled about your sanity!<br /><br />As for Karl, maybe he and I should attend therapy together. All of a sudden I have all these great photo possibilities jumping around in my head!<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Danirondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-73360677868223453432009-12-29T10:04:34.404-08:002009-12-29T10:04:34.404-08:00Conchscooter,

..."It beats meeting the grill of a car." <br /><br />And as for transporting odd things, I've seen (either in person or pictures) Karl carry: recliner, bicycle, 3x6' ramp, and that's just on 2 wheels! I've given up trying to second-guess what he can fit in the sidecar. Using just the sidecar frame (no tub) he's even carried motorcycles.Krysta in MKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101287869577972478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-86905709449340358642009-12-29T04:24:01.069-08:002009-12-29T04:24:01.069-08:00An Australian picture, but a Kiwi rider !

From a newspaper report in Feb '08<br /><br />"BURNING down the freeway at 100km/h this motorcycle rider risked his licence going up in smoke so he could throw a snag on the barbie on Australia Day. <br /><br />Photographed riding on Melbourne's Eastern Freeway with a barbecue strapped to his body, this motorcyclist has admitted it wasn't such a bright idea.<br /><br />And "Stuart" is also having second thoughts about an earlier incident when he hauled a two-seater couch on his motorbike.<br /><br />"I do think it was dangerous," he said yesterday.<br /><br />"I don't think I'll carry anything but a pillion passenger from now on."<br /><br />Stuart, 27, who didn't want his real name revealed, was ridiculed when the Herald Sun published a photo yesterday of his barbecue escapade.<br /><br />An astonished motorist had snapped him while he was transporting the barbecue on the Eastern Freeway on Sunday evening.<br /><br /><br />Start of sidebar.

Return to start of sidebar.<br /><br />Police were not impressed and started an investigation.<br /><br />Stuart, who migrated from New Zealand in August, said he picked up the barbecue left on a nature strip for a hard rubbish collection.<br /><br />A Buddhist, he had been returning home from a temple in Box Hill.<br /><br />"I've been known to be a bit strange and to see things differently," he said.<br /><br />"It was the challenge (of transporting the barbecue) more than the thing itself."<br /><br />But Stuart didn't count on the reaction of work and housemates who teased him after recognising the rider in the photo. "I wouldn't do it again, it was too embarrassing," he said.<br /><br />Stuart said he recently ferried a couch on his bike from Keilor Downs to his Sydenham flat. "People say it can't be done, but I proved them wrong," he said.<br /><br />Stuart's housemates said they weren't too surprised when they saw yesterday's photo in the Herald Sun.<br /><br />"He does some crazy things, it's something that he would do," said one housemate."<br /><br />Eitherway the picture has been round the world and back again in various 'look at this idiot' postings.Young Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555960598884624382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-92139474649583841562009-12-28T20:37:14.250-08:002009-12-28T20:37:14.250-08:00I believe that is a photo from Aussie (it made the...I believe that is a photo from Aussie (it made the news here in NZ) of some nut transporting his barbeque by bike.
