Things I've Seen on Bikes

Here is an abbreviated list of things I've seen strapped to the back of motorbikes (most under 125ccs - pretty much a lawnmower with a padded seat) in Vietnam, as well as 2 and 3-wheeled bicycles:
* Dried squid for sale
* Giant boxes
* Massive rolls of fabric
* Huge bags of rice
* Large jugs of water
* Hundreds of CDs for sale (always at night, with music playing)
* 3 humans (in addition to the driver) (unstrapped)
* Drug dealers, pimps and prostitutes (also unstrapped)
* Massive baskets of fruit for sale
* Bundles of sugar cane
* I swear to God, as this picture attests, a really big refrigerator
* A fucking cow (this a friend saw - he swore, no shit)

Feel free to chime in with anything you may have seen. Kitchen sink perhaps?
