Transporting a Grand Action

I've been hauling actions in and out of condo buildings with only a basic luggage tote carrier for years. It's the type that is used for luggage and collapses nicely into a corner of my trunk. I use it for times when I either have to take a lot of tools and supplies for regulating jobs or when I have to pick up an action. The bungy cord holds the action decently and never had had an issue with danger of it falling. Obviously like any transportation device, there's some element of technique unique to each device.

Terry, my only question is..........How do you carry all that on your motorcycle?

Thanks for digging that up Scott. I looked but couldn't find my old pictures. 

Marc - if you are interested in doing something like this, it is simply an used golf cart that I got at Goodwill for $2 and just added two pieces of wood. It's nice because it is very light weight, folds up, and is extremely stable - you can go up and down narrow stairs with ease with this thing - and I think it has quite an air of professionalism.

If you or anyone wants some better pictures, I'd be happy to send/post them.

BTW, your words are much too kind - I am very humbled......

A picture of you carrying the action would be great (or anyone else that has a grand action readily available).

Maybe also an upright action.

Thanks
