What happens if your luggage falls off?
Well?
I will give you a clue, 2 hours waiting for a recovery truck. New underpants required

Re: What happens if your luggage falls off?
It gets snarled up in back wheel and breaks something
 If in doubt add more bungies!

Re: What happens if your luggage falls off?
Shandy for YC,
Back wheel locks up at 80mph, snaking out of control leading to a blow out, no steering on the wrong side of the road. Is it possible to give yourself a whiplash type injury? my neck hurts like hell. I am so please I kept it upright. But waiting for breakdown in leathers in this heat! So new tyre needed, plastic that protects shock is cracked as it the undertray. Chain was due replacement, so not bothered about stretch. But I guess it put a huge strain on the gearbox.  Opinions please. Can I plug this

Re: What happens if your luggage falls off?
Should be able to repair that by stuffing an old set of leathers in there.
Well done for keeping it up BTW.

Re: What happens if your luggage falls off?
Fook! Good work keeping it upright!
Your sore neck is the result of your twitching ar$e trying to suck your head through your body and $hit it out onto the seat. |

Re: What happens if your luggage falls off?
You're luckier than a lucky thing from Lucksville on lucky day.
A young lass from N. Wales was killed a few years ago when her Oxford Tailpack unbungeed itself and went into her rear wheel. Her father, who is a traffic copper, tried to sue Oxford, but they do clearly state in their instructions that all bungees supplied should be used in a certain way, and I think it was proven that in her case they hadn't. I've known this happen to a couple of other people and staying upright is rare, but then again, so is flat spotting the rear tyre to an extent that it blows out. Lucky, lucky man... go buy a lottery ticket |
