When towing motorbikes behind cars or any type of vehicle please take note.
Don't trust anyone, I mean anyone..
Truck drivers are told to secure loads on their trucks, but as I found out the hard way. Don't trust them, check and double check yourself.
I noticed he didn't lose his bike at any point, but at 80km/h my bike seemed secure but still watched it's every move from the rear window.
Just about home and just passed a cop and few little corners left.
At 50km/h she got the wobbles on and watched in slow motion.
Then gone, hit the tar and was my pride and joy that I had built and resprayed over a year.
Like losing a pet, I couldn't look.
Undid what was left of the so called motorcycle ties, advice...
Never use the motorbike ties that bike shops sell as they slowly release themselves.
Son got out and pushed it home and had to watch as it was bleeding black stuff and crying clear liquid.
All I could think of was getting it home and putting it out of it's misery.
So now have to get my tool kit out and make her stronger and better than before, even gave her a new heart, frame and forks etc.
Even went to the lenghts to build her another trailer, with more tie down pins.
It is common thing when someone tows your bike for you as they aren't worried as it isn't theirs.
Might use 2 ton tie downs too.
So beware bike owners, that is why they call it DIY.(do it yourself)
Or grab some tissues.
Blue bike dropped and Red bike with new heart and new respray now.
Few months of sweat and tears.
