I hate London....
Had a day trip on Saturday to pick up two bikes, one from Heathrow, and the other from London Bridge.
So I set off from Chippenham, Wiltshire drive down the corridor and get to Heathrow. The first bike is 1 and a bit SV650's.
Only got a crappy trailer so we remove the radiator (there are no fluids in the bike) put it in the back of the Disco, drop the forks and front wheel out and lie it on it's side then put the rest of the bike around it and the rest of the bits spare engine and frame and other stuff and set off to London Bridge, 16.5 miles away.
All in all takes us over 1.5 hours to get from the first place to the second, bloody London, if that's not bad enough I get rear ended (well, the car does) TWICE, both exactly the same.
Stopped at a red light, the car behind stops and we wait for the green light.. CRUNCH. The car behind drove forward in to the trailer, the lights hadn't even turned green. WTF??
He was alright, he gets out, apologetic and we see no real damage so shake hands and set off, the second one, exactly the same, stop at t red light, car behind stops and we wait for the green light, again CRUNCH right in to the back of the trailer?? WTF?? He was a tosser, didn't even get out the car but all was fine anyway, he's still a cock.
On both occasions, the car behind had stopped and was stationary and then for some reason starts driving forward and straight into the trailer and the lights hadn't even changed.
BLOODY LONDON
