I have not pulled anything that I can recollect but riding 2-up on Brownie is 1100+ lbs for me to deal with.  She has pulled a trailer but that was the PO before me.  I have thought about putting a hitch back on it and pulling a trailer that I can get from HF.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

16ft Palm tree. Dug up at my Dads place and taken to my house for re-planting.
We had some very funny looks and comments along the way ;D

My Gibson Explorer and Flying V. Both in rectangular hardcases, standing vertically behind me with a ratchet strap around the cases and my torso. Kept to the side roads as anything over 45 felt like I was going to be pulled off the bike. That was back in the day when Frankenbike was my only transpo, and I couldn't get a ride from anyone to the guitar tech. No pictures sadly, but you should have seen the look on the guys face at the shop when I asked his help in loading the bikes and "Ratcheting me up"!
