Bat?
 

I need some help on figuring something out since I havent come up with a plan yet. I need to come up with a way to carry a baseball bat on a motorcycle that will be safe for about a 20-30 mile trip with parts at highway speeds. Any suggestions?

That's easy...backpack

you worried about an accident scenario? if thats the case, then hes right, i dont see any harm in a backback. other than that you could bungie it to the side or under your passenger seat. maybe strap it to your pass pegs somehow.

somebody owe you money?

Just hold it in your left hand and hit mailboxes as you go, I see no harm in that :idk:

It just sits real akwardly in a backpack (its a 34 inch long bat) and shifts around some so Im trying to see if I can come up with anything else.

Im considering trying the bungie to the side idea as I had thought of it before but not sure how comfortable its going to be since Id probably have to have a leg over it or something. We'll see.

But no, they pay up quick. Gotta keep the hos in check so they keep the payments prompt.

BTW, you find out who made that stand?

get a sling and put it around your back like casey jones style (yea fron ninja turtles)

Yea i totally wrote it on a post it note and stuck it on my computer, and forgot to send it to you.

made by BVP.

You could tie it to your back "Blade" style. You know,make a sling by tying a rope to the handle and back towards the end. I once carried a tire like that for 20-30 miles.

I think Im going to try that tmw and see how it works out. Provided it feels ok with having a backpack on also Ill probably go with that plan. Thanks

dude go highlander and wear it like a fucking sword - there can be only one..

here's what i do - give it to a fucking team mate and then you can carry mitt, etc. in backpack.. now there's a novel fucking idea..

remind me to potato sack your ass if i ever meet you..

I carried an umbrella in a backpack on the back of my husband's bike once...I looped it around the backpack handle. Maybe zip tie it to the backpack? :idk:

for best results,it should be on an angle. Straight up and down will want to fall off to the side. You know what this reminds me of...Mad Max! Otherwise,I like Colleen's idea of attaching it to the side of your backpack. If you put it inside,whatever secures the top should hold it in place. Anyway,goodluck.

just stick the smaller end in your exhaust... should fit...

Rifle Sling?

Ok genius, Ill drive all the way out there hand it to a teammate that I barely know (only other guy I know real well rides too) and then drive back to get the bike. Thanks again asshole.

And Tig, thats the problem I ran into with the backpack was it wanting to fall to one side or the other. Im probably going to use tying a rope to it and wearing it like a blade.

Cool,goodluck and goodluck with your game!

Only Chuck Norris potato sacks.

Cargo net across the passenger seat??

Check out a sporting goods store for a bag made specifically for bats/ baseball equipment. Should be able to find a smallish one to throw on like a backpack. That way it won't move around and it;ll sit lower.

:lol: If you have the typical long exhaust up the side of your bike, you could always strap the bat to that. Give it some stylish burn marks- or wrap it in foil.

nah, go with the shoulder sling style, thats what I do anytime I need to carry an actual bag, beware tho of it sliding around to your side...

Truth

Thats a good point. Hopefully itll stay put for the most part. A lot of the ride is pretty straight so Im hoping it wont slide much.

anybody know where i can buy a gun rack for my bike?


or ya know, you could just drive. or not take the bat? i mean it cant be that huge of a deal, you're not playing in the minors are you?

or better yet, play baseball closer to home.

are you gonna ride onto the baseball diamonds and do burnouts to impress the ladies?

Gas is cheaper on the bike and the boring ride down Rt 8 is better if I can at least be on 2 wheels. We have 3 or 4 bats on the team so if someone that has one doesnt show up or people forget them then we dont have much choice on what to use.

Id love to.

No sense in being a squid just for the couple reasonably cute girls that may show up.

no fucknut - you go this week in the car and leave the bat with your team manager. then the rest of the season ride the bike. or how about this foreign fucking concept to you - use someone else's bat.. are you really this fucking stupid or did you get dropped on your fucking head as a child repeatedly? jesus christ... this thread is dead to me..

good call on the chuck norris marko.. glad someone caught it.. but there is a revision to that rule - chuck norris AND mp potato sack bitches..

get a ride frmo a friend with a car... if it was an emergency situation i understand but wtf??

Good to see that you can get wound up that easy MP. And also nice to see that the whole concept of preferring to ride over driving is completely lost on both of you. I merely asked for suggestions on ways to still carry my bat because like I said Id PREFER to ride. Quit being dense and try to grasp this very simple concept. Thanks for the absolutely useless posts from both of you.

do you get on the Internet just to vent, or is this the way you act in real life? How is the weather up on that pedestal of yours?

weather is good.. its actually a handicap to be intellectually superior to the masses as well as better looking..

i basically spew hate wherever i go.. but sometimes i spot stupidity and have to call it out.. honey attracts more bees but napalm is far more effective and i love the smell of napalm in the morning..

so yes i basically hit the internet to vent and use it as an aggression tool so i don't beat some motherfucker to death with a bat that they can't figure out where to put on their bike..

and jo i prefer to ride your mom.. 4 out of 5 guys do as well.. payday is busy at her place.. thank you and gfy..

with all these new friends i might not have room at my next party..

now this thread is dead to me.. best of luck with your bat crisis..

Yea,what's wrong with a guy wanting to ride his bike? I don't think it's extra dangerous or anything,so why not? Heck,I used to attach a milk carton to my bike so I could transport things more easily. Anything to increase the bike to car ratio is a good thing to me.

this just leads me to believe you have problems expressing your emotions in real life. all this bottled up hate is going to lead to an aneurism.

Most likely.

And wow MP, a mom joke. Thats pretty creative. How old are you now 13? If you actually come up with something useful or humorous feel free to share it.

yes but even in my weakened state i will still be able to spell aneurysm.

Got spell check?

But you are right I am going to get an aneurysm and die. Bad for me. Good for you.

You must mistake me for someone who gives a fuck.

gtfo

You try too hard.

:hss:

yep your right.. i try way too hard.. in my aneuritic state it is the only way i know..

thanks for the total recap.. you can add this one to it too.. hell maybe you could scour the whole board for my infinite words of wisdom..

i might add some additional thoughts but i have to go drill some more irrigation holes in my head..

why are you drilling irrigation holes in your head?

why not.. relieves the pressure from the aneurysm..

i never said you were having an aneurysm in your head. i was thinking more of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

although they do frequently show up in the brain, a tripple A is much more destructive to tissue (an cephalic aneurysm is very damaging to your brain tissue though, and can result in stroke like symptoms (or, a stroke)).

Imagine a garden hose exploding in your belly. cept that garden hose is your aorta.

wow learn something new everyday.. never heard of that shit.. sounds painful.. i better get to my happy place.. just been in a rotten mood lately.. shits all fucked up.. wearing on me.. need to tie one on and forget about all this shit weighing down on me.. or i will end up with some kind of stress related malfunction.. i've worked 70 hours this week and its not even friday yet.. 3 more days of 12 hours in the pipe..

remember, stress = garden hose exploding in your guts.


Cool part is when you find yourself in the ICU (if you make it) most likely they'll have removed the flesh covering your abdomen, and you'll be able to see your internal organs through a celephane type membrane which may or may not be attatched to a wound vac (short for vacume) which will be used ot suck the fluid out of your crevices and keep them clean before they can grow new skin and graft it to your belly. or maybe they'll use pig skin!

sounds like a great time.. not..

going to my happy place..

Its only a happy place if it involves bikes, sluts, or alcohol. Or sluts AND alcohol

How about an alcololic slut polishing your nob and then your motorcycle after you D.P. her using the bat you so wisely brought with you?:leaving:

This has potential

i was thinking more white dragon but ok.. maybe a cleveland steamer for good measure..
