Weird one that.  I regularly tow trailers, admittedly car transporter trailers so a bit bigger and heavier than that, and can't see how that happened.  The trailer looks a decent weight and it isn't really possible to get too much or too little noseweight on something like that.  The bike sits where it's supposed to.  The trailer isn't one of these tiny little single bike trailers that are very narrow either.  If it had been at speed it could have started to snake and flipped over as the car doing the towing may not have enough weight to keep it stable, but it's at the approach to a roundabout so wouldn't be going fast enough.

Ahh, but it is a Peugeot doing the towing.  Not another of Christo's failures is it?

I have seen the odd caravan overturned like that on the M'way.  You will often see odd things strewn across 3 lanes, a kettle, laundry (!).  You will then see the occupants stood huddled together in companionship.....except the dad, who is strictly 10 paces away, banished, shunned!!

I'd guess the driver took the corner too tight, the trailer hit the kerb and gained enough momentum to go right over.

The tow hitch isn't attached to the car. Probably been dragging along by the chain since she left home and its been on its side for miles too.

Shame on yous guys for even suggesting a link to Christo. :(




I in no way mentioned his name in my post.


This place is the pits.


Poor Christo!.




It was never my intention to bring ridicule his way.

But I can hold your bike to ransom.....

Actually I had an amusing thought.  In my shed there are two motor mowers, a rotavator, a petrol strimmer, a petrol hedge trimmer and Christo's bike.  Guess which one of them doesn't run......
