Just thinking about where to find a rope i have.When i remembered how lucky i was to be towed along by my Dad. My Harley had broken down (again)and wouldn't start.He towed me from Chippenham to Melksham with the rope from his car to my handlebars. Can't remember which way we went guess along the A350.Though it did seem faster than he said he'd go. Thanks for the memory Dad no longer with me.
Haha just remembered i towed my brother on his Honda 750 up from Box up along hill on my bike.Poor thing it was a Honda MXT200 nice bike though.About 7 miles away. Got him home to Melksham. Thanks Ragnor for reminding me. Yes never again but then again if stuck lol?
Did help him carry it up a floor or two when he lived in Bath in the top of one of those beautiful Georgian Houses there.He had the top flat. When he sold it they had to carry it down and NO i didn't help that time.
I held onto the passenger side door of my mates Rover SD1 while I sat on an old Matchless an old fella had given me. Going along a bumpy fenland drove I managed to get my thumb trapped between the door frame & the handle bars, after a few minutes everyone in the car heard the loud expletives I was aiming in their direction over the loud music & laughter. My thumb was broken, can't recall how the drivers lip ended up bleeding 😅

Seized the engine on my first 125 and was towed with rope for 4 or 5 miles by my dad in his car. Panicked like hell when my front wheel went over the rope at a junction 🤦♂️ – Was then stopped by police car however as he had “never seen anyone stupid enough to do this” he couldn’t decide whether it was actually legal or not 🤣 – Explained we were only a few hundred yards from home so he just explained why he thought it was rather a silly ides and told us to get it home and be careful about it Oh for the good old days!!!!!!!
i do believe that it was legal or is still possibly legal. Not sure if i read some where that it was illegal in Germany?They do seem more sensible than us or they did do lol. Yes quite scarry lol Oggy that was a very nice car that you got pulled along by Rover SD1 where did it all go wrong for Rover?
Philgs1000. I've had the pleasure of owning three of them myself, oddly enough the second one was the same car that I was holding on to. I'd say it was when BMW shut them down & our government did bugger all to stop it going under.
When Honda teamed up with Rover the brits would annoy the Japanese by putting reject parts on the car to annoy them lol My Dad worked for Avon Polymers at the time in quality control and told ne about it.Part of the Avon rubber group which included Avon tyres who have just shut their local factory.Not sure if the Avon name will disappear? Production i think will got to France but I'm not sure? Yes one day i'm going to build a chop. So are you a fenlander being that you live in Ely?Was born in Cambridge then moved to St Ives your way.Then down here to Wiltshire.
