Seeing that it belongs to a GSA I took the liberty in posting a link to this thread on Wilddog.za.net forum.  Hope you don't mind.

HI-Jack.............

Regarding the last post of the guys expression....

Years ago in the time of fuel rationing and specific petrol garage hours we came to PE from Durban for the Buff............

I can't remember if we stopped more often at the pub or for petrol on the way down!!!!!!

However just outside Grahamstown on the PE side is a little Hotel with a quaint pub. We stopped here to fuel the riders rather than the bikes. May I suggest we were all about 20 sheets to the wind....now where is PE?????????

After filling our tanks to overflowing we headed for PE. I rode a Honda 500 CX Turbo.

On arrival in PE one of the group dismounted his bike only to find his "pillion" missing. I kid you not.

The big debate was about where she could have fallen off the bike as none of us had seen her fall. However his state of mind was such that he was not to perturbed about her "vanishing" act. I am sure deep down in the part that could still remember he must have been sh*tting himself.

Turns out he had by mistake left her in the pub outside Grahamstown..............

Suffice to say it was the end of that relationship.

Geoff a few years back Andre and Louis came back from a party, Andre's wife was also in the car.

 

They got a flat, and had to stop to fit the spare.  It was a good party, so fitting the spare took some time ...

 

Finally they were on their way.  A few street blocks further Andre's cell phone rang - they left his wife next to the road .....

 

 

 

 

as for the topbox - report it to the three dealerships (even though they have probably read this thread already).  The guy might go buy a new one without reading this post ....
