I used this link for ideas and have successfully moved with fish SIX times
in the past THREE years!

Did someone say bikes? ;~)
XS1100S, XR100, CB550F, TX500, CB450, CB350G, YL1, CB50
I've moved a waterbed on a motorcycle, but never an aquarium.

That's one thing I don't want to attempt.... but I've owned 4 of the bikes
you've had, and I'm envious of the bikes that Corks has had or has....
Over in europe, they get all kinds of two stroke street bikes, like crotch
rockets, but a 125cc two stroke that will outrun a 600cc inline four bike we
have over here... amazing really... and some of the roads over there are
awesome.....

Sweet. My CB550F helped pay Yoshimura's mortgage to the tune of about
$2.3K of racing equipment. I never met a 750 I could not beat (except my
friend's TZ750, but a triple 2 stroke 750 is just not playing fair ;o)
I've only got the 1st two listed now. I'd trade you my XS1100S for your
CB650.
