This is One Way to Get Your Dog to the Vet Hot

When I moved into my first apartment I got the bright idea to live japanese-style and sleep on a futon that I could roll away for extra space. While it worked, it was uncomfortable and a bit small, so I looked at my options. After several days of searching I found a really nice free bed frame on craigslist. I emailed the guy, hopped in my car, and lo and behold it wouldn't start. I sat there for a second, then looked over at my zx-6 and thought. So I got suited up, stuffed my jacket with materials, hopped on my bike, and drove over to the guy's house. I arrived about 25 minutes later and as he walked out of his house and saw me standing there next to my moving van he stopped dead, shrugged, shook his head, and opened his garage. He brought the frame over to my bike and I dropped my maze of ropes and cables on his driveway. I was a man on a mission. I strapped the headboard and foot board to my bike, but when it came to putting the side boards on I had two options: First, to mount them sideways and risk taking myself out on a turn. Second, to mount them lengthwise and worry about the far end swinging back and forth. I opted for option number three and strapped those suckers to my back. As I did this I could have sworn the guy pulled out his phone to snap a picture of me, and as I sat there on my bike like the bed frame ninja he gave me a look that said "are you serious?" I looked at him, flipped open my visor, and said "oh yeah, this is happening." I made it home just fine, and although I got more than a few stares on my ride home, it got the job done. And hey, now I know that in a pinch, my motorcycle is a viable option.
