Anyone else getting annoyed with all these roadies around? Usually on crossers with no plates and no helmet with hoodie done up and pulling wheelies and just being nobs stopping all the traffic going through red lights and doing as they please.

I watched one recently gode the police as he knew they wouldn't chase him, if we wasn't so booody soft we'd stop all this crap, if they choose to be a knob without a helmet and fortunately die when falling off, then imo that's there stupidity, how could you even point the blame at anyone else?!?

Most of the roadies I have seen wear black t- shirts with 'CREW' written across the back, or maybe an old tour shirt from previous jobs.

Maybe roadies isn't the right term I can't remember, someone did say what they chose to call themselves but to be fair I didn't care enough to remember.

I have to say it does seem like a Birmingham thing, most other counties I've been too doesn't seem a problem when I've been passing through.

This is what I mean, now to be fair they seem to be in a quiet industrial estate, that I don't have a problem with, and some of the wheelie skills are pretty good, my issue is when they storm the road and just become a pain bullying everyone they can.

I've seen a few times now some total knob in a hoodie on a scrambler bike, thats about as road legal as my sofa, wheelying through traffic lights around the uni campus here in Liverpool whilst pedestrians are trying to cross. It's got a straight through pipe on it too so you can hear it from miles away.
I actually hope he has an unfortunate collision with a driver who has a dashcam to exonerate them, and gets the book thrown at him if he survivies

I suffer with mild dyslexia that effects my handwriting, grammar, punctuation and my spelling, if you have such an issue with people's spelling then maybe your better off leaving a car forum and joining an English and grammar forum wavey

Aha, the well known PH delayed spellcheck facility. I was wondering whether it would pick up on the difference between chafing and chaffing, but not so far! smile

O yea... Didn't realise it was only one 'f'. First time I've typed the word. Every day is a learning day. smile

Yes in North Swindon, utilising housing estates as there own private race track. Why they are allowed to get away with it just because they might get injured when chased by the police. Surely as criminals there civil rights should be taken away, if they crash and burn whilst running away, that's all on them.

So this is basically doing wheelies on a Motocross bike ? without a helmet, thats a bit special.

Is this an import from the US ?
