Can't imagine jump trails being much fun on one! If I caught someone using one on my trails I'd probably be quite pissed off. I spent hours perfectly moulding that rutty berm, all for some motocross helmet wearing weapon to blow the whole thing out!
Most owners don't have a clue how to ride, just seem to monster truck over everything and just make inlt unridable for anyone else...we are lucky, Old Bill will turn up quite quickly if contacted.Spare tyre said:
We took my 5 year old for a walk to look at the skate ramps
In the way there we got passed by a bunch of 21ish year olds on these, doing I estimate around 30mph on a gravel path, I didn’t hear them coming but thankfully my wife did just in the nick of time, would have had a squashed kid.
Always think I’m going to get mugged when I see a surron
Never met a pleasant person in one
Always in their murdered out unifrom too...I think they all know they shouldn't be using them, so are users defensive and aggressive immediately.In the way there we got passed by a bunch of 21ish year olds on these, doing I estimate around 30mph on a gravel path, I didn’t hear them coming but thankfully my wife did just in the nick of time, would have had a squashed kid.

The rider ain't shredded, poor bike.One of these electric motorbikes was on my local MTB trails last week, rutting the soft ground through the snow melt. Very surprised no clashes with MTB or dog walker's hasn't occurred yet. I don't think the users are the type to stop either!

Each scene is overflowing with council. I thought it was a piss take at first, but tragically it isn’t!
Just noticed the coffin is supported on a pair of saw horses in the living room.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD2Ws8IMnAe/?igsh=Z...

We might scoff at it (just noticed the lions on the gatepost pillars) but one thing is for sure, the woman was clearly well loved and given an impressive send off, from the perspective of her family.
I'm intrigued as to where one gets at least ten matching white Rolls Royce Phantoms on hire!
I think my favourite bit is the sartorially elegant 'wee fella' who is at the back right when carrying the coffin. Baseball cap, suit and takes about four steps when everyone else takes one, which makes it look pleasingly like a Benny Hill sketch.

Can one of you councilistas explain mixing the formula Triumph Man said:
The stickiness of the table will hold them in place - don't need to worry about little kayden-mackenzie-littleman rolling off and getting brain damage
That comes from the smoking/drugs done while pregnant. Little kayden-mackenzie-littleman will obviously have ADHD as soon as mum can fill in the benefits form trails said:

Let's hope so...more and more of those types of things appearing in the woods on MTB trails."It's an ebike mate, same as yours"

Phoned 999 a couple of times over the summer as they were tearing around a public park, weaving in between young kids playing. Police weren't interested.

Walking in Edinburgh yesterday, suddenly noticed a motorcyclist hurtle down Frederick Street and was momentarily confused to see he wasn’t wearing a helmet. As he swerved right onto Princes Street, passing trams on their inside, I realised it was a Surron and not a motorbike. Just a shame the s
t wasn’t hit by a tram coming the other way.
Struggling to understand why legislation isn’t brought in to ban these things. I’ve never seen them used in a lawful manner.

A lot of local MTB trails have been ruined by scrotes on these. Now they've started chewing up fields instead. Bad enough when the snow melts and turns fields boggy, but now a lot of them are basically swamps and the footpaths are just as bad.

It's quite in incredible how much damage they can do in a short period of time isn't it.Phoned 999 a couple of times over the summer as they were tearing around a public park, weaving in between young kids playing. Police weren't interested.

I wonder if you noticed one of the surron riders had a knife or similar you may get a more helpful reaction...
Talk of e-bikes reminded me of this which occurred on the Isle of Wight earlier this month:
