what's the breaking-strength of a bungee?

Seen just now - scooter heading along, bungee cord tied to the rack...

....with the free end of the bungee bouncing along the road.

It'll be "interesting" if by some chance the hook gets caught in a
manhole-cover or somesuch.

 

I'd have thought the hook/elastic interface would be first to go. If it's
the road end that breaks, it'll hurt like **** when it pings back and hits
the rider on the back

 

that was my thought - the other end was clearly tied around and
through the rack.

 

Question is......Where is the load he should have had on the back?

 

Be more fun if it get caught by a car going the other way, or even another
scooter...

"Think of the children"

 

that's true, but worryingly - and I'm assuming it's a sign of getting
old - my first concern was that if it snapped, the flailing end might
have some innocent passer-by's eye out.

 

no the question is, are you the same anonymous twat as the other one,
or are there two of you?

This is the anonymous twat formerly known as Robbo and then .

 

Is there more than 1 anonymous person then?

Apart from *old* Spic twats that is

<yawn>

 

oh right - into the kf then.

 

Keeping you up old un?

Get some sleep, at your age it's necessary

 

Have I missed something?

 

I don't want to read any of Robbo's crap, so I've killfiled ".." (or
rather the actual email address hiding behind this). I can see how you
might have misinterpreted my comment above as putting Lozzo in the kf,
but this isn't the case (yet ;-)

 

Isn't it sad that you feel so inwardly insecure though?
