Title: Awful behaviour!
Post by: JayDub on November 01, 2016, 08:15:35 PM
http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/live-birmingham-solihull-bikers-attack-12107806 - Is this the latest social media trend I wonder?
It also happened in London, not good for our image guys.  Better watch out on our next meet  :icon_eek:

Were you there Chris C?  :icon_wink:

Those little shits aren't Bikers, there idiots on (modern) scooters and quads.
I was watching some near London Bridge the other day, wheeling down the road.
Most of those bikes are small engined "L" plate bikes.
it makes me Very angry, and Very sad too

Alas it is the minority who give the rest of us a bad name. Same happens here.

Sadly, most of the general public don't see a difference between little shits and 'serious' bikers.

You're right. All they hear is the obnoxiously loud exhaust pipes on the cruisers and assume that we must be all the same.

It's been coming for quite a while with the increasing number of feral bikers around here,I do see these scumbags at close quarters when having bikes repaired and of a Sunday not uncommon to see groups of 20+ and they couldn stump up a number plate between the lot of the them and their tactic is safety in numbers.

The problem being is catching them,if their not on a 450 moto crosser the bike of choice is an R6 with a quick shifter you'd be hard pressed to keep up with them on another bike because sadly the majority have a talent for riding one as well.

That and they know the police are unlikely to get authorisation to give chase  :icon_evil:

Sadly I see an increase here too, does make you wonder how many of them are nicked? You can be sure most of them will not be road legal and not roadworthy practically goes without saying.

Interestingly, The police were using stingers on London bridge,  - I thought they weren't allowed to use those on two wheelers :icon_scratch:
Apparently a lot of the bikes were nicked that day.
