With a towbar welded to it.

Distance? Hahahahahahahahha nice one nick :-))

[/quote] It was surprising how light it was - although I did a violent wheelie when I tried accelerating hard once. "Fast " wasn't a word I'd use, but once it was moving, it went!! Distance could have been done - but by a fitter man than me, along a short route with a few pubs on the way! :lol Pulling away was a slow affair in first gear and puffing like a steam train - but it moved!! Squirrel head - foc off. :lol :lol

If that was subconcious guilt, your subconcious is a better person than you are.Did you ask any of the other lofo's about this? Did you forget me putting your bits in a box, helping to move the bike multiple times, sweeping sand over the oil or trying to help calm you down? Did you forget I sat in the middle of the group and talked to everyone whilst you sat at the edge? Did you forget I went back with Chris.Biker as he was heading back up north? Why should I provide insurance details when I wasn't involved in the accident and it wasn't my fault. I'm happy to provide a witness statement and comply with any insurance request. This was not my fault. I was 3 cars and 40m away when I saw you come off. The Mercedes applied his brakes when I was long gone. He took his eyes from the road, looked behind and when he looked forward the situation had changed. He had no clue the Volvo was stationary or even that I rode past the Volvo whilst it was stationary on the inside. Something which is not dangerous at all. I see vehicles do it every day. If a car is stationary and indicating right, if there is space and it is safe to pass it on the inside you do. Please stop this harassment. I will comply with your insurers requests as and when they make them. I've answered your questions now please back off.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

I remember you doing all of the above.
I also agree even if it was or wash't your fault you don't need to do anything you didn't crash. We all should ride defensively for all eventualities, however unlikely.

Ok Gents, can we keep this thread for the trailer chat please?
I appreciate feelings can run high, especially when concerning a RTA, but as I've moved the previous thread to avoid public discussion of a thorny issue that could potentially lead to litigation, can we not necessitate the same again? Cheers. Aegis

Parents, insurance etc will probably be keeping me off bikes for a while - and I have a friend very keen to sell me a Hillman Imp-derived Singer Chamois Coupé in need of a lot of TLC (fitting a new engine for starters). I suppose I'll have to fit a towbar to that in a year's time, if funds allow.

The 875cc engine only kicks out about 37hp - but is extremely tuneable - to about 80 / 100 hp so I'm told! :eek Apparently, they run really well at 60hp, and have very light engines too. Believe it or not, I'm not sure the Fazer engine would fit in the engine bay - the engine's too big! (It's Hillman Imp derived, so the engine is at the back) On another note of interest, apparently many old Reliants (the four wheelers, such as the Kitten or the Rebel) are now being retrofitted with Fiat 1100cc engines, like the one they put in the new Fiat Panda! Crazy, man...

When I was thinking of buying it last year (before I got the Fazer), a Uni friend asked if I was going to put a decent stereo in. I said no, as I didn't want a speaker to cause the bonnet to fly off at 60 up the motorway! :eek That says a lot for that car's condition.

Its the typical 70's rust bucket we use to see on the road all the time. They never held water for obvious reasons and forget about in car heating. Then there was the laminate seats passing themselves of as leather that took your skin off in the summer of 1976 heat wave when in shorts. Hand winding windows was the only air con available. If you were truly hip you had furry dice hanging from the rear mirror. :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin Daz
