You might recall sometime ago I purchased a set of chrome side covers. On the first ride I went on after fitting them, one of the covers fell off. Another time on a ride my accelerator grip came off mid ride. Twice I have run out of petrol. On another ride with Bobberbuilda, his mirror flew off mid ride but he was quick enough to catch it.
I thought I was jinxed.
Recently on our ride to Yarram to catch up with Rusty, Paul (Puffy) lost a bolt from his gear lever on his foot pedal and he couldn't change gears. We were able to tie it down with cable tie until we found an auto barn and he bought some new bolts, however the bolt head was 13mm and he only had a 12 & 14 mm spanner. Pliers did the trick.
I thought I am jinxed.
During this ride there was a rattle on my front end. By the time we got to Port Albert the rattle was louder and I found my front guard was very loose and I had lost a bolt holding the front guard on.
Hmmm jinxed?
Also when we got to Port Albert, Rusty found that he had lost some credit cards when we met up at Leongatha.
Don't say the J word.
On the way home I ran out of petrol......again.
So folks beware....I am jinxed.

It's true you are jinxed. But it makes a good talking point ;D ;D

G'Day All, This might be a stretch but I'll blame George anyway. He jinxed me after my last ride. Ended up with leg in plaster......

I don't think George is jinxed,its just made me more aware of checking all the bolts before I leave for a ride, and not just polish it so it looks good. I wondered where you got to George? So you ran out of petrol. Should let you lead, so if anything falls off or you run out of petrol, we're right behind you to pick up the piece's cheers
