Default Cargo Strap

Okay guys and gals,
So there is an annual Toys for Tots run. Bring a toy, enjoy the ride. Problem is, is that by taking a toy, I have no place to put it on the bike. So, to remedy that, I got a cargo strap to hold the toy down while I ride there to turn it in. Looks funny as hell, but it's for charity. Anyone else have this similar dilemma/problem with no place to put stuff and having to strap things down? Bike looks really funny with a Hot Wheels tractor trailer set strapped to the bike under a cargo net. I'd almost rather pay 10 bucks to the cause, 'cause cash is easier to carry....lol

3 Hendersons, the Outlaw, and the 'Bob. Don't really ride 2 of the EHs, but working on getting the first fixed up so I can. Check out my album for their pics.
