Box Hill Curse

[G]

It's not Chelsea Bridge that's cursed, it's Box Hill!

Over the last three times I've been, I've broken down every time.

First I killed my clutch when I was nearly home.

Then it was overheating and my electrics went so I had to bump start it.

Now, on the same stretch of road that my clutch went:
I'm cruisng at around 100, on the oustisde lane and it's fairly straight. Turn a bit to correct my line and the rear feels like it slips over a bit of rubbish or something. Next time I move the bars the same thing happens... feels dodgy so I weave slightly and realise I've got a flat tyre .
Pull over through the traffic, using arm signals as my indicator fuse went again, eralier in the day. Pulled up on the hard shoulder I find teh tyre is *totally* flat!... Could've been nasty at 100 .
And to top it all of, I leave the indicators and brake light on, just incase someone's using the hard shoulder for overtaking... and the electrics go (not the fuses, not sure what's up with it.)


not happy

Ouch, bad luck - but you didn't miss much, the cops put a stop to the wheelies about 10 seconds after they'd started up.

I crashed into the back of a mate when I was on the ped once (his fault though - he saw a car parked up but decided to go onto the path instead of round it Anyways he came across my path and *smash*

Another time I rode in the snow, I think you can guess what happened
