A couple of weeks ago, I did my first "carry stuff" load. I needed a new helmet (the vents on the old one were busted so it was non-stop whistling when I went over 40 mph, YUCK). I road the 40 minutes to the bike shop to pick up the helmet, and I brought some bungy cords with me in a tank bag. I put my new helmet on, packed the old helmet in the box, and went home. I did stop once because it looked like something was "flapping" in my shadow, and I realized that it was just the tag off one of the bungy cords.

I stopped at the local co-op to pick up some food. I managed to fill my tank bag, had to attach something else to the bungyed box, and got to go home with groceries stuffed down my jacket (a trick I picked up from my husband whose sole form of transportation for years before I moved in with him was his motorcycle). It was HYSTERICAL.

I totally understand why you took a photo. I sent a text msg photo of my first carring time to my husband. He was so thrilled and excited. He loves the look of a "pack mule" bike even more than a line of shiny chrome. My bike had both that day and now many days since :-)
