Saw a local mailman use a contraption similar to that to haul the mail around on but he only lasted a couple of weeks. Don't know whatever happened to him or his contraption.

What is this anyway? Reminds me of a place for the mechanic to sit and spread his tools out at his feet so the driver doesn't have to bother with those pesky pit stops.  ;)

You guys would not know a "mother-in-law seat" if a bike let it cross into oncoming traffic in front of you! ;)

These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

I believe it's some kind of invention for sidecar racing. Look at the padded seat and the rubbed metal bars where the passenger get a grip.

That's definietly some type of sidecar racer, but that's a really tiny wheel on that thing!

That's it exactly. CB750 Sidecar Racer. You can see where the passenger has rubbed the paint off the metal with a white-knuckle death-grip. There were several different sidecar racers at the event I went to. Mostly Brit bikes. But someone had made one out of a fat tire monkey bike as well.

Saw a dude with a set up similar to this but in his case it was rigged up so he could ride from his wheel chair! Talk about commitment to the cause. Met the guy too, full on hardcore biker type. Good on him I say.
