Scumbags

[Nige F]

Just spoken to my youngest. He traded in his Honda 500 and VFR800 against a really nice Honda CB650FA that he took delivery of on Saturday.

Today he took it to work as his mum borrowed his car. Around lunchtime he sees 3 in balaclavas toss pots at his bike obviously attempting to nick it.

He runs out with his manager at which point they threaten to stab them both. They phone the police who in fairness were very good. His bike was more secure than Fort Knox so they couldn't get it. In frustration they boot it over causing a bit of damage.

They were later chased in Coventry but not sure of an update.

Poor lad is heartbroken and a little shook up. Give me 5 mins. With them......

It’s hard to understand the mentality of some people, scumbags like these serve no purpose & should be executed.

No too quick...

Not the way I’d do it.

I had only had my new car for a week when someone put a scratch down the side of it

Dave (hug a hoody) Cameron had the right idea. Show em some love.
Preferably in the embrace of an iron maiden.

I can beat that..the day I picked up my brand new Fazer 600 I decided to lean it over, a bit too far as it turned out, in the garage to check the alarm was working.

New screen and front fairing.

But that was you not some scrote.

in the 80l’s we bought a brand new Nissan Micra, the next day Bev was turning into her Parent’s drive when a Kawasaki 1000 went into the driver’s door, got it back after repair, the next day I went to in law’s to pick something up, a van reversed to turn round & the footplate scraped & dented the passenger door, a week after getting it back an electricity board van ran into the back at a roundabout, final nail was it was parked in the drive & next door neighbour’s bedroom window blew wide open & smashed, glass all over the car.

So it was a scrote then.

My dad’s new car was being unloaded off the transporter and it was dinged by the delivery driver.

I needed to borrow it one day to take my sister to the GP and then on to my work - I managed to put a big dent in the rear. Dad was away on holiday, but I did apologise, and he claimed it through his work as it was a company car.

An hour into ownership of my brand new Z250 scorpion some myopic old git t- boned me (luckily at very low speed) busted headlight, bent bars and a small dink in the tank

My mate who was on the back at the time went postal resulting in one very bashed about Allegro and a driver needing a change of underwear

Took the bike back to the shop later that day and they repaired it with parts from another new bike for free

The day my missus got her new Kwacker ER5 I took it for a spin. Afterwards I parked it outside the house and as I was walking to the door I heard it fall off its sidestand.
She watched it happen from the front doorstep.

And she said..............
Did paracetamol help..

Not, me, but one of the guys I used to frequently ride with in 2000. He was an advanced rider & me & a couple of other IAM members took a trip to Carnells, our local bike dealer as he was picking up his brand new Kawasaki ZX9R.

We all stood around drinking coffee & eating burgers outside when he proudly mounted his new steed, pulled away from the shop front, gave it a handful & immediately highsided.

His new ZX9R was a write off with only 3 miles on the clock (cracked frame when it landed across the kerb).

She was remarkably calm about it (glad I married a Buddhist). I went through the entire Big Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon Phrases for Every Occasion.

When I picked up m6 second ‘in great well serviced condition’ (sic) I was so underwhelmed with the performance that I gave it a handful coming off a roundabout…absolutely no idea how I stayed upright.
