A bit council (Vol 4)

100% on all counts.
I love off-road bikes and my enduro bike, but the thing I really HATE is the way that they attract feral scum like nothing you have ever or will ever see in your life. They are an absolute nightmare to secure. I've got a pair of Yamaha R1s in my garage, but the thing that gives me the fear is my KTM 250. I live in fear of someone on an estate finding out where I live and getting visited by a T reg rusty Transit.
I remember once chaining a dirt bike up outside the bank and coming back and it was like a bloody zombie film - there must have been 20-30 horrible track-suit clad hoodie types gathered in a crowd around it.
Another thing is that council people are always really good at wheelies - check it out when you see videos of all these "bikers" in London. I don't know any "normal" people who can wheelie like a ratboy can through their estates.
Another utter scrote magnet are kids MX bikes - even worse (hard to believe) that normal ones. I've got two good mates in the bike trade - one had a trials bike shop and his insurers actually stipulated that he had no cover if he had kids motorbikes on the premises. It seems that the first thing that Wayne will want for his budding young Travis Pastrana is a 50cc dirt bike. It's a rite of passage. They will then take them off-roading in the local park, local sports ground or a farmers field.
Another mate put an Aprilia kids 50cc MX bike in the window - I did warn him! It attracted all sorts of utter scum in - his keys for his BMW 850 got taken while one lot were in and the car went from the back. This was within days. The following week he got ram raided for the the thing, the entire frontage of his shop destroyed to get through the shutters. The insurance claim was huge.
I really don't know what it is about them - but they are like refined crack cocaine to the feral underclass. Doesn't matter where you live, if they find out you have one it's like fighting off the zombie hordes.

good post Dog Star.
Its true- whenever I'm on an estate- the ratio of quads/dirt bikes, mini crossers and electric mtb's is wholly disproportionate.
they love them. You're right, the natural ability of a kid in a filthy tracksuit to pull an endless wheelie that Eddie Kidd would be jealous of, is a sight to behold.
I have noticed the latest fad is electric mtb's. now you either see fat people on these- attempting to cycle. Or scrotes on bikes worth more than the entire contents of the Nan's house they doss down in.
I guess its the natural stepping stone to a golf, bmw 3 series or Audi A3.
I spent a lot of time the other day on an estate surveying allsorts with some colleagues in including the Police. the number of kids endlessly circling us on mtb's, popping wheelies was amazing. It was like being a pioneer crossing the plains of America and red indians scoping us out for the kill.
Yes I know "Native" but its context.
tell you what though, they never bother me- you just have to front them out- they crap themselves when challenged.

You just know you are in a quality area when a shirtless skinny white human/baboon hybrid goes past on the back wheels of a quad bike with a fag in his mouth. I visited Darlington a while back, popular up there.Its true- whenever I'm on an estate- the ratio of quads/dirt bikes, mini crossers and electric mtb's is wholly disproportionate.

See them a lot as I live in Stoke, which is a centre for chavdom. Need the Met police "run them down" tactics here as on a few occasions now, I have seen them goading the police into a chase but they won't bite as they have no helmets or gear on. They'd think twice if mown down while having to have a cat scan and all the gravel rash picked clean in hospital. they love them.

Same with most CHAV types or youth gangs. Strength in numbers, rely on intimidation but most of them are basically weak cowards with insecurity problems. Their balls shrink and retract when someone stands up to them. Just have to worry about them initially trying to "shank" you these days to try and look hard in front of their mates. If they aren't armed though, they have no balls and usually run or go down like a sack of s

Coventry has packs of sub teenage yoofs whizzing around on electric scooters. In addition to usual stuff. Presumably the on trend Christmas gifts. eldar said:

The local social housing kids near us seem to have got some for Christmas too. I thought they were speed restricted, but from the way they pass cyclists, it would seem not.I'm sure it's come up before on either this thread, or one of the previous volumes, but i'll post it anyway. Parents shouting at their, usually primary school age kids, in shops - so loudly that it can be heard a fair distance away.
Posting this having listened to some bloke, in Sainsbury's on Wednesday afternoon, shouting at a boy & girl aged around 6 & 9, to "stop acting like a pair of stupid little f'ing c--ts, or you won't get McD's & KFC on the way home you f'ing little st rags".
Drew quite a lot of attention including that of one of the store security people, who then decided to rile the bloke up even more by asking him to wear his face covering correctly - which set him off into another sweary tirade. Didn't see how that played out as i was heading for the exit, but he was giving it some.

This Ambulance was reportedly carrying a family when it arrived at #Asda Harpurhey with blue lights flashing. Occupants promptly went inside to do their shopping. Our divisional colleagues tracked them down & the driver was found to be disqualified & also wanted by the court.

It beggars belief really. I wonder how long they had been flying under the radar with it?https://twitter.com/gmptraffic/status/135454760636...

Yes they are very popular around here. When not shirtless, they'll have adopted the woodland camouflage/rigger boot look
