Towing...

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Fri Dec 31, 2010 11:11 am

I'm not entirely sure what the chap being towed expected to happen when he rounded at the corner.. Maybe he thought the broken down car would steer itself? Anyway, seems like he was keen to blame his mate who was doing the towing..

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

ROFL .... methinks someone forgot to stick the key in the ignition to disable the steering lock.

Gotta wonder why they were recording being towed, unlikely to make prime-time unless they stick it in a ditch or something... :smt003

I did wonder but decided the cost of damage will far outweigh any minor fame and fortune
