I'm working on it. Trying to find the cash is the issue. Had to pay a few things off and not much spare each month for a new toy. But, I have a plan....

Reversing.

mmmmm
It should say in the Peugeot handbook what weight you can tow. A good benchmark is the combined weight of a loaded braked trailer should be lower than the weight of the tow car. But there is a finite weight limit for an unbraked trailer.

I fitted one to my car a while ago and I've been surprised how much I've used it. Especially handy for reverse parking too.

One bike should be fine with the 106 - just take it nice and steady, and keep the speed down (mine started to oscillate at over 80). I have a big three bike trailer that I used to tow with my 306 HDi and that was fine. I've seen pleanty of small pugs towing bikes to MX meets.

Hurrah.... 400 operational again - nice people at Essential Rubber sorted my puncture.

Getting out of London in south westerly direction was a nightmare.

Chuffed with my navigational skills in the face of adversity and my foresight skills in avoiding the 1 legged midget (how many points?) that stepped out in front of me.

Not that a car towing a trailer should be doing anything like 80 anyway...

I actually got run over on my own from work this evening. Without a working motorcycle and Jo needing the car, I had to get the train. Walking past a junction and the kind car decided to drive into me and push me out into the flow of traffic.

I really do need to get at least one of my bikes back on the road.
