gene pool deletion in progress

aka "trailer cheaper than skin grafts"

nothing wrong with towing a motorcycle - can be safely done. The rider simply winds just one coil around the bar, and grips the rope under his hand. allows a safe release of the tow in event of trouble - the rider simply lifts one hand and releases the rope.

these 'darwin award nominees' had a better idea - their tow-rope was securely knotted to the left fork leg. the bike wasn't registered, and the rider didn't know how to ride a tow - he let the rope go slack. big speed-wobble and legs-akimbo when the tow suddenly tightened and jerked forward around the corner - I wonder if they made their destination safely?

the irony is that a rental trailer costs $20, a pair of tiedowns $13, and the car had a towbar. for everything else, there's that credit card. it won't buy you out of an entry to the darwin awards, though. come to think of it, could buy some boots and riding pants.

spotted this afternoon in kilbirnie, wellington, new zealand. you thought you were safe down here, in this remote backwater of the globe, right? 'just goes to show, dumbasses can be found in any country - we're not safe anywhere!
