Sorry, can't go, retired! Yay! (Apologies to Scaly!)

I ride to work everyday. Bike only goes away when it is sub zero. Ed

Don't thinks its going to work for me .....anyone towed a car with and Enfield??

No, but we towed a Yamaha XZ550 with a car, trying to bump start it.



They really would not start unless you had the secret!

Back in the eighties I towed a friend 20 miles home on his siezed RD350 with my X7 Suzuki with a bit of hosepipe we liberated from a building site, it was dark, we had no breakdown cover, and we were young a stupid..................................I'm a lot older now, but still as stupid.

Ride to work all year round, unlike the gofasterboys who disappear at the first sign of winter. I once pushed a broken down mini off a roundabout with my M20 sidecar outfit.

I've still got an X7 in my little fleet, complete with Microns & K&N's and yes I also towed a few mates 'back in the day', mainly mopeds, oh to be young and fearless!

Being a retired gentleman of leisure I have great problems determining which day might be a workday but 20rd June would have been my old dad's birthday and may well involve a ride to an hostelry to raise a glass in memory.

Not sure why you would push a Mini with a combo, four of use picked one up and carried it off the road after it pranged. The girls in it were frightened but unhurt after it rolled.
