My moped crashes were mostly alcohol related!

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I've never crashed on the road ***touches wood*** the scooter was always in carparks being an idiot and trying to wheelie it (never hit a car thou' R34PER!) and about three times going into my driveway as it was light gravel and I kept going in too hot.
Once on my RZ250 rather drunk, in my dads back yard trying to move it into the garage, ended up in his vege patch
Since then all my crashes have been on the track or in the bush when I was trail riding (green laning)

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I think one of the best crashes I've ever seen was some guy ahead of me when I was out dirt-bike riding. He laid it down on the right side at a slow clip, and the throttle dug into the ground and was spinning him and the bike around like a pinwheel for about a half-dozen revolutions before the motor cut out. Spaz.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I am glad the guy Owned up, that's a plus. Reading about crashes reminded me of back in the day, when we used to terrorise the streets in packs on moped, loads of us, always crashing mostly into each other
The one that comes to mind is when my mate lost control, hit the curb, went overthe handle bars and ended up in someone's front garden, in a bush... still with his fag handing out his mouth ha ha ha ha.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
So I get home tonight, and Jess is off work on Friday so we had a ride planned on the bike. The weather at home has been glorious for the last two weeks, 30-38 deg C and no rain.
Fridays forecast is 15mm rain and high of 20 deg

People who think it's fine and dandy to come into the office and then proceed to spend the day hacking their guts up.
If you do insist on coming in (even though we have a sick policy and you can work from home) then kindly ensure you have adequate medication to stifle or suppress your rather annoying cough
Otherwise I'll cure it for you, by slitting your throat.
Many thanks.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
You're not infectious at the cough stage of a cold.
Besides, I was good enough to take a day off when I was full of cold.

Pricks who leave their fog lights on.
They're fog lights. Lights for when there's fog. You use them when it's foggy, that's why they're called fog lights. It's all the name.
Twats,

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Completely agree with Kwacky, I followed a car home the other night that had its rear fogs on in perfect visibility, so I put my headlights on main beam (courteously dipping for any oncoming traffic of course) it took them 6 miles and an 8 min wait at a level crossing before they got the message and turned them off - I returned the compliment of course.
Childish (and probably illegal) I know, but sometimes they've just got to learn.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Good news bad news, I recently purchased a new lid from the Sportbike shop (online) I was very happy with the next day timed delivery all free of charge, the quality of the packaging and services second to none.
My only gripe was the price had gone down 75 notes over night, only noticed as I happen to look at some others items the next day. Obviously bad timing on my part but also a kick in the teeth as I had take some long to sort this out.
So I wrote to them a very polite email highlighting my annoyance. Well I take my hat off to them, I received a refund for the difference and a nice email suggesting a gesture of good will.
You can't say fairer than that. Merry Christmas Sportsbikeshop.co.uk.

Twats,
Ok then Fog Light Wankers, a quick recap for you...
1. Rain is not fog, and does not necessitate the use of fog lights.
2. Night time is not fog, so see above.
3. Wind, ice and overcast skies are still not fog. See f*cking above.
4. You don't look cool and they don't make you see any further. The only thing they do in non-foggy weather is mark you out for the c*nt that you are.
Merry Christmas, you Fog Light Wankers!!!
