Volunteered to help cut up a huge log.

No, sorry, I remember seeing all kinds of crazy stuff being carried on bikes, but apparently I never actually captured it on film. Like I said, we had to be a little discreet with the cameras. The bike pics that I do have are pretty tame. Here is one of the tough little bikes most were riding

 

Oh, I know how capable these little bikes are. Just imagine if those are that capable, how capable the big bikes we have here in the states are. My bike has air shocks so that if I am carrying a large load or large passenger I can just pump them up to accommodate. But for me, regular cargo is limited to how much I can lift. If I can't lift it alone, it doesn't go on the bike. I used to carry a 25 foot length of rope just for that purpose. (carrying 4 bails of straw as an example for size) Otherwise I'm limited by how much I can secure with bungee cords. The longest I have are 4 footers. When I accessorize my bikes, I make sure I have plenty of tie down points that I can use. A normal person wouldn't be able to point them out, but someone who rides could likely see them. (the chrome saddlebag guards, the luggage rack, the passenger grab bars, and even the back rest for starters)

I know any one of the bikes I've owned over the years could carry more than what you could put in the trunk of a car. And easily those new cars trunks. Those can barely hold a suitcase.

I know for sure I couldn't carry one round from the tree we just cut up. I had a hard enough time just rolling them.

 

I've been to Bangui! I used to live in Kinshasa, Congo. Very much the same, as you can imagine.

 

Kinda like this?

 

I told you that you'd get looks with a saw strapped to the bike.

Good job!

 

Yep, you did say! I think I got more looks using the saw though! Or maybe it was the combination of using the wedges, hatchet and saw!

And thanks!

(note the wedges and hatchet on the log)

 

I figured I would sharpen up a few chains today including the 24" loop I used cutting up the log that went into the dirt a couple of times. (changed it and kept on doing) I'll be danged if I can find the 24" loop. I've looked in the garage, and all through the house. It's in a quart ziplock freezer baggie, and it's just nowhere to be found! Yep, I even looked in the freezer!

I could have sworn I had put it in my saddlebags with the 20" loops, but who knows, maybe not. If it doesn't turn up soon, I guess I'll have to purchase another.

 

Nice size rounds you were cutting. those would be a bit tough to roll around without a peavey. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

 

Easey peasey with that Kubota with the FEL. I don't even use my peavey any more.
