Seeking a photo for an upcoming article - can you help?

[chiba]

Hi folks. We need a photo for an upcoming article!

Do you have a photo of YOUR bike with a heavy load on it? We're talking saddlebags and more on top of that - so much so that other people might see you and think "Wow, that rider is CRAZY." The idea is to feature an MOA member's photo in the article, so if you have a photo like this that you took or is of your bike and you know who took it, please reach out to me ASAP.

Thanks!

Do you want us to post here, or send DM's?

There was one just posted to the MOA Facebook that I saw and had to do a double take. Fully laden GSA!

Sorry Chiba, No Proof of Purchase. I did once bungie a boxed Montgomery Ward microwave oven on my bike and rode my M/C home from the Mesa Mall with a rather aukward box.... I also received a gifted propeller from a IBR-freund in FLA. He said if you can take it with you, it’s your’s. I took it immediately - he’s retired Army; I’m retired Air Force; K’Ron is retired Navy, so it was a Joint Operation. We managed to arrive in HSV via Auburn from Jacksonville back in Mar 2022.

Two up with spouse, returning home through Hells Canyon from Chief Joseph Rally, John Day, OR, 2014:

Maybe not OVER-loaded... but a chainsaw isn't a typical load to have on a bike.

Somewhere in Wyoming on the RT. Mag's Bag Ubag carrying most of our camping stuff, along with an umbrella for pilot car waits, a couple layers stashed there with the Kermits and a 100oz Camelbak on the right arm of the bag.

How we did two up camping on one bike.

Whats that top soft bag on the motor? maker/volume? That's a nice bag.

We've been photographed a zillion times with both of us sitting there and my wife holding an umbrella over us.

Greeting from Mr. Voni. I even had a 30 year old red T shirt to prove it.

I know it's not a BMW but I was leaving for 4 months.

This is as good as I have for Beemers.

Thanks gang - I'm all set but by all means keep posting your overloaded bikes. I feel much less guilty about how I load mine when I see yours

 

[bobs98]

Overloaded for sure.

So far #17 is the winner.
