brainless pedestrians...@!#$$

[AgentOrange]

yesterday arvo on the way home, the 2nd time i've ridden my new bike to work, a bloody pedestrian darted infront of the station wagon infront of me causing him to jam the brakes and me to run into the back of the wagon.. I'm pissed as.. the bike didn't have even one chip, scratch, dent, absolutely flawless.. now I'm up for a new front guard and radiator shroud.

I was only doing about 15km/h on Castlereagh St, heading towards Market St to make a right hand turn.. as the car infront of me jammed the brakes I automatically swerved left (i was sitting on his left corner), to try and miss him.. i didn't run right up his a*rse, but kind of into the back left corner then scuffed up the side. My left foot went down straight away and stuffed my hip in the process. The bloke in the wagon was nice enough to stop and apparently he rides as well. He seemed genuinely concerned and mighty pissed at the pedestrian as well. The pedestrian that caused it all decided to take off running (fkn bastard... if I caught him he would have went down for sure). Not going through insurance as it would probably be deemed my fault as I ran into the back of the wagon, the bloke said that it is a work car and he will tell his boss it was in a loading dock when it was damaged.

not only was the wagon driver a help, but after the bloke in the wagon drove off a chick came up to me and asked if i wanted the details of the wagon as she wrote them all down for me and took a photo of it with her phone... i couldn't believe it.

Anyway, my hip is sore as fuck this morning.. I can't believe I actually hurt myself and didn't go down?..

next lights bike on the stand window went up and he tells me to fuck off >>>>>>>>>>so I see red and head but window straight through four or five punches and back on bike disapear into the night

that's gold.. I refuse to go down parra road after work.. the lanes are too narrow to split the whole way. Instead I turn right just before parra road (on the city west link) and go down Queen st I think it's called.. It has a nice bicycle lane the whole way to the end :) it takes about 15mins off my trip home.

I wish i was there to see that though, would've been a memorable site that's for sure :D

[chong]

through five dock I think
if your ever in the area im at frasers harley sales ask for steve!!:D:D

[clairebear]

bad luck Orangeypoo, how nice that everyone was so understanding / helpful tho, they used to look t'other way, but there are more of us now, so they gotta pay attention.
bummer about the bike! i'm glad i dont commute in Sydney any more, i used to do Newport to Bondi Junction every day...*tsk!* was that your zed?

[AgentOrange]

yep, it was the zed.. prices aren't as bad as I thought.. Just rang Kelen Kawasaki in Penrith and it's $195 for the front fender and $109 for the radiator shroud..

Fuck me Chong, please

You're my hero now mate. Too many people work on the attitude of it's not worth it, but you can bet you're bottom dollar that fuckwit won't be pulling that stunt again. Definitely have to go for a ride sometime (how do you feel about winding up bikies? feck it's a lotta fun).

I've done similar in my youth, and not once did anyone come back at me, they all turned into fuggin faggots, even the groups (I put the boot into the tail lights of one car full of hoons once, and had the absolute joy of watching the driver jump the red light, straight into the path of a small truck. I was a satisfied man)

[AgentOrange]

are you guys big or what? I'm not all that tall... about 5'9" i think.. just wondering if I would have the same effect or if I would end up getting my arse kicked by a car full of wankers.
I've handed out a face full of pepper spray a few times :D seems to get the job done.

carbon knuckle guards and a small solid bar of steel held in the hand does bloody wonders for peoples driving skills too (or as one of my courier mates in the uk used to do) carry a rounders bat (small baseball bat for the unedumacated)

I'm the same height, ~90 kilo's, but leathers, boots, and helmet always make you look bigger/more aggressive/hard to hurt.
It's also about how you handle yourself too, if you go straight for the throat like an uncontrollable nutter EVERYBODY backs off. I used to nurse violent deranged patients and the effect they would have on the GP when they went off was amazing (I have seen 2 AFP officers flee as fast as they could from a 5'7" patient one time, and they were terrified, like wide eyed pale terrified[:X], admittedly he was known to us as the 10 million dollar man, because he cost the NSW govt $10 million dollars in staff compensation payments:D)
I've also worked as a bouncer, taught kung fu etc.

And of course you don't walk up to a car full of Hell's Angels like that, in that case look for a bottle you can pass through their windscreen as you blast past[8D]

I had a black barina pull into the lane I was already in at Brighton Le Sands on my way to work once and being so use to that kind of thing in Sydney I usually just hold my horn on untill they realise they have fucked up then they get back in their lane or they have their radio too loud and don't hear me either. Well this particular pile of shit in a suit looked me dead in the eyes and kept on coming over so I had to pull of some pretty tricky stuff to get the fuck out of the way. I proceeded to ride past him and I tried to kick his mirror this did not work (and made me more angry) so I backed off again rode past and layed my fist into it. I was planning on breaking the mirror but the whole fucking thing came off went under his rear wheel and got smashed to a million pieces.

Well I was very proud of myself wasn't I, sitting at home that night with a New in my hand and there was a knock on the door I opened said door to find two of NSWs finest the first one said are you 'insert name' to which I replied yes, the second one said do you ride a motorcycle I said yes the first one said were you riding along general homes drive this morning? (it was like one of them could not remeber all of the questions so they split them down the middle) I said yes is this going somewhere or are you tony barber? (okay that bit might not of happened) then one of the bright pricks asked me if I did it like I am gonna say yes. I said I have no fucking idea what you are talking about obviously this dickhead has got something against bike riders he has probably smashed the mirror backing out of his garage and grabbed the number of the first bike he saw. One of the coppers said can I see your hand and I said sure which one? He was devastated he was obviously waiting for me to show hime my left hand but at no point had they told me it was the guys right mirror. He then said well it was the right mirror so I assume your left one I lifted my hand to which he said well no marks there do you wear gloves? I said of course I do I am not a squid, he asked to see them. I brought out the gloves to which bacon boy says they look very recently cleaned that is very convenient I said there is nothing convenient about it mate I like to look after my gear don't you look after yours? Then they tried to be my friends "come on mate we ride bikes too we know what it's like when someone pulls out in front of you and you want to punch the crap out of them or their car" to which I replied "mate if punched the mirror of every car that cut me off every day I wouldn't have a single bone in either hand that wasn't busted" the copper said fair enough we'll get goin then eh.

They were walking up my drive and I said hey boys am I gonna see you again? They said not if you didn't do it and I said well in that case have a nice life.

I never saw them again.

hope you did not damage that nice new black helmet Chong mate

[Gix11]

Man. I've got a mirror score card as long as my arm. Everything from Ford Escort to Mercedes. You don't even feel it with the fat bars. Fuck 'em.

[speeddemon]

but have you sent a mirror 12 ft in the air only to smash into chadams splitting aboout 2 cars behind! was the only mirror i didnt mean to hit - poor old dude.

Hey chalk - you, physco's and kung fu - now i get you...

[sluglie]

friend of mine from the uk and i were riding along the m6 southbound between jcns 17 & 16 (sandbach and crewe) there must have been an accident cuse every lane was stopped, we were tootling between middle and right lanes when this wanker in an open top boxter (1st year of release) pulled over so we couldnt get past.

my mate proceded to pull closer and closer (on a battered old 750 slabby) when mr bright spark decided that he didnt want to get his new car scratched and moved over again (putting it right up the arse of a volvo) when said friend got to the passenger door, he put his bike in neutral, lent over and proceded to rip the mirror off with both hands (it came away surprisingly easily) it had all the electric gubbins hangign out the bottom end,

he then put 5 or 6 dents in the bonnet of the boxter with the mirror (making sure it was well smashed in the process) dropped it on the bonnet and proceded to ride off, the guy in the car looked like he was gonna bust a blood vessel, as i went past (he hadnt seen me at this point) he was leaning over the passenger side door inspecting the damage so i dumped the clutch and pulled 10,000 revs while blowing the horn, the last thing i saw as i rode away was this guy lying back in his seat clutching his chest and bawling like a little baby.


wonder if he ever did it again?
