Kids on learner bikes.

Are as barmy these days as they were when I was a yoof. Probably more so.

Me and the wife went for a bimble yesterday and ended up in Southport where
we had a snack and a wander around the bikes. A few loony tune kids were
there on a variety of 125's (no strokers) beng "very well behaved", but when
we were on the way back we came upon one of them giving his bike the hardest
hammering imaginable.

A CBR 125 (in blue) and him in a fleece and jeans/trainers coming down the
A570 at full throttle. Roundabouts? **** that slowing down malarkey, just
pray. His prayers were answered and he stayed on, so I decided to follow
him.

What a fucking kid. Never gave quarter at the lights, just "Wham, **** you"
to all the drivers and not a one beat him. I wasn't aware these little bikes
were capable of close to 80mph, so I had to find out if it was modified in
any way, but I was only closing slowly on him at 85. Anyway, I pulled
alongside him and asked if was a legal bike. "Yep, no mods" he told me
before fucking off with the front wheel clawing for the sky.

His back tyre were totally bollocksed too, to the point I could see the
fucking canvass. Brilliant.

 

Its a northern thing isnt it? ;-)

Long time no see btw...

 

I reckon loonies are at least country wide.

Are you going to oSM?
