Bloody kids

Same time every year. They're all out there on their spannied-up
twist-n-go scooters trying to emulate Pedrosa. Wish they'd emulate
Hayden instead.

I love watching the Ped Boys tear arsing through town. Watching the faces of
those they carve up is even better. I can imagine the time when they're old
enough for real bikes and give thanks that we're not the last generation
who'll enjoy bikes rather than just ride them coz they don't attract
congestion charges etc.

I bet they'll piss off some bus drivers if/when they're allowed in bus lanes
too and that's GOT to be a result.

The main problem I have with these lot is the noise. I know when bikers
from the UK go on holiday to Europe and say "oh, isn't it a laugh" when
the kids wheely past on a scooter that's got *no* silencer (can't be
good for a smoker?), but one tires of never being able to have a
conversation because of the noise. It's not like they go anywhere, but
just scream round and around endlessly.

Oh and they don't grow up and get real bikes in the main. They either
grow up and just get even noisier, bigger scooters (ok, sometimes 2
smoke trailies with spannies) or they migrate to cars as soon as they
can afford to.

You can call me a whinging bastard if you like.

Hear hear. I am genuinely surprised by all the old farts whining about
kids on scooters, especially old farts who ride bikes. When I was their
age I was a little twat on a moped.

Good luck to them.

Heh. I'd rather they pissed off lorry drivers.

Thanks?? Who to? Not you fucking innocent yoofs that is a given. I
don't give thanks to the greasers who kicked the shit out of me every
time I ventured into the wrong part of town on a bank holiday ride out
in the company of my peers.

Mind you I do give thanks to the hundreds of my buddies who, not just
for me but for all victims of fashion education from the chain drive
owning fraternity, went out of their way to right any and all number of
perceived wrongs against one of their tribal group.

I am quite proud of some of them it has to be said. Not as hard or
anywhere near as reckless as those who went before but their heart is in
the right place and that is what really counts.

 

It's exactly like the Fizzie/AP50 lads of my youth. No difference at
all.

Some went on to bikes, and some migrated to cars.

Teenagers are teenagers, and your first wheels are always magic. And you
use them whenever you can, simply for the freedom.

 

Or some **** towing a caravan.

In the summer, yes.

All year round it takes a lorry driver to decide his need to overtake at
..01mph faster than the guy on the left is more important than that of
those stuck in the half mile long queue to overtake him... as he labours
up the hill... deciding close to the top that he hasn't got the power to
overtake and pulls back in. ****.


Not, of course, that I've a problem with lorry drivers after having had
one deliberately ram me off the road (in a car) 7 or so years ago and
try to take my arm off earlier this year. oh no.

To be fair it's the cunts in 7.5 tonne trucks that cause most problems
IMO but I've not been fair to date and see no reason to let reason
flavour my prejudices.

 

If I may point my learned friend to:
<http://local.live.com/default.aspx?...vl=15&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=7605594>
he will observe the large, open, green and brown bits. In particular the
rough greenish lump opposite Dane Valley Road at the top.

This, and the surrounding flat bits, is where myself and various local
eejits learned to ride on two wheels, and very often just one, over the
hills and lumps which are not noticeable from above.

We fell over very often, kicked the 'box into second halfway up steep hills
only to find neutral, got stung by nettles, thistles, and HT leads more
times than was pleasurable, and loved every second of it. The only thing
which took the edge off the fun was the old cunts in the flats and houses in
Dane Valley Road who 'phoned the police every weekend to complain about the
noise. The police would turn up and had to walk over to the lumpy bumpy bit
where we would generally take the piss out of them and ride around jeering,
but eventually would be persuaded to go away and annoy someone else. I dare
say we'd all be given ASBOs these days but we were just having a right load
of fun.

 

I'm not a lover of the waspish noise either, but the PedBoys are just
practising for the time they can use an Akrapovich on summat a bit bigger.
..

Corsa's usually, but a few make it to adulthood and a bike.

Ok, you whinging bastard

I never got a moped, but I was a **** on my BSA 250 (C-15). Not fast - it
was a BSA 250 - but noisy and with no consideration for anyone but me when I
was riding. I'm a lot quieter these days.

But there aren't enough "Lorry Lanes" to get right up their noses. The bus
lanes give them much more opportunity to wind drivers up.

I'm sure PedBoys still aren't allowed on them there motorway things.

That must be a pet hate for every other driver in the world. It probably
pisses off other truckers too, until they get behind the wheel of a truck.

I had an artic driver try forcing me off the road some 30 years ago. It was
that interesting it's like it happened yesterday. He didn't win though
because he didn't have the balls to ram me up the arse (fnarr) and instead
swerved as to undertake me, but he hadn't reckoned on me doing exactly the
same thing. Result was he swerved even more until he was over the hard
shoulder and onto the rising grass verge. I nearly pissed myself watcing him
n the mirror as I "roared" off in my Morris Marina.

M56? Brilliant motorway

7.5 tonners are driving on a normal (non HIV) license aren't they? Them
silly little things with tiny wheels on big trucks? You're right though..
Wankers.

Your chosen diety.

Not you fucking innocent yoofs that is a given. I

Mmm, I sense issues, but I can't relate your experiences to a bunch of 16
year old kids on road legal peds having a bit of fun.

That'd be righting a wrong by being righteously wrong then? Not that I see
much wrong in a little revenge

Indeed it is.

If you passed your car test before.... erm, 1998, I think. 'Grandfather
rights'.

If you recently got your car test, it's 3.5 tonnes max now.

Good point and one I'd not considered.

So someone will be building even flimsier trucks.

Good luck to them - can't be much fun being immortal like that when
you're deaf.

I never had a moped so I can't drift back into a haze of two stroke, but
I've broken no end of lolly-sticks trying to get that old bicycle sound
out of the BM.

 

Quite right too.

Last night, being driven into town, two young burds on twist-and-gos on
the pavement! No helmets, no protective gear, riding standing up. But
one of them was drop-dead gorgeous so I'll forgive her.

 

I'm sure I could modify an old joke about untying a woman from a
railway line then shagging her and make it seem suitable for this
episode.
