    Screw the world's fastest Indian....

    I have photographic evidence of the world's fastest Maori......

    YES, we do slack off a fair bit @ work....but we had a few friday beers then this theory about charging an electric scooter by pulling it along.......turns out that:

    a) the bearings start smoking at approx 65km/h
    b) The Maori starts crying at approx 65km/h.
    c) I don;t stop laughing for......3.5 hours now.....

    yeah...there was a plan....with the tailgate and a bit of wood and some flying thru the air involved...but it didn't eventuate. Employees these days, FFS you say "Hey, i have another idea for hurting someone!" and they run.....???

    Never ever tie two wheel vehicles to anything for towing purposes! Sheesh.
    I bet you won't do it twice. John.

    Why not ? I've been towed home hundreds of kilometres by another bike, and , also, towed bikes home for ditto. No probs so long as both riders know what they're doing. Car towing bike si a bit trickier, bike towing car is OK, apart from the obvious weight/power issue. But I've done it.

    If you (and the car driver!) know what you're doing it's not a problem.....

    But please note - the skoota was being towed around the industrial park at work not for any particular reason other than we were dreaming up plans to stave off boredom @ work, having finished the weeks jobs early on friday!

    BSA A10 towing a Fort Prefect . Helped to have a bit of a downhill to start off , and the Beeza was on sidecar gearing. Worked OK, don't know that I'd have wanted to do it too far , but the old BSAs were pretty tough.

    Its the tying on that I am referring to, have witnessed some very nasty incidents but whatever smokes your tyres as they say. I wont do it without some form of very quick release. Cheers John.
