And the kitchen sink, too...

I needed a new sink, and the only one I found that met my needs was in a small town 65 miles from me. Friend offered to loan me his truck but the gas for that would have cost almost $30. I did some measuring and determined I could take the bike.

I taped a stick to the sink so that it would rest on the seat and luggage, used lots of bungees, and got it on there firmly enough that I could pull the bike off the centerstand without moving the sink much.

Got lots of looks, but it was worth it even if it was rainy all the way up there and back. FWIW, it wasn't heavy, only around 30 lbs if even that.

That is amazing! I wouldn't have thought that was possible. And it's even a double wide sink!
