When I drove a scooter for 2 years before getting my motorcycle, there is no limit to the ridiculous amount of stuff I would carry. I went without a car for year, so I learned to be pretty inventive when it came to putting things on the scooter. I have lots and lots of pictures of all the crazy stuff I carried, so when I get a chance, I'll see if I can post a few.
The most ridiculous thing I've ever carried was 30lbs of cat litter and a dog bed big enough for a 65lb dog; it looked crazy, but I made it. Hindsight is 20/20, I know, but now that I'm driving a motorcycle, I can't believe I did all that crazy stuff. Admittedly, I never took riding on the scooter too seriously. I like the tea cup poodle idea!
