Lmao
I was lent a GS750 for a year when a friend was banned for drink driving
When he came to collect it it wouldn't start, I'd told him to bring some fuel as the tank was nearly empty and the old fuel stagnant
Anyway it wouldn't start so I suggested towing it behind his friends feista, as you do.....
We tied the rope to the tow hitch on the car and the other end around the bikes headstock and off we went. About a mile later still nothing, I suggested turning the tap to reserve, he was adamant there was enough fuel so I waited till we got going before switching it over, it fired instantly, at this point I made an important discovery, the clutch had stuck on........ so here I was, tied to the back of a slow moving car on a 750 in second gear with the choke full on, wasn't going to end well, then the engine cut, big sigh of relief, until the rope caught, focin bike took off like a scalded cat, my mates face was quite a picture as I pulled along side him, then I ran out of rope.....
Chris jumped out to see if I was ok, I stood there roaring with laughter which puzzled him, but the jolt had freed the clutch and that tickled me
