View Full Version : Bully Tactics by Scooter boys.
Flyingpony
21st April 2005, 08:27
Was bullied :angry2: twice by the same group of scooter boys :scooter: recently.
Came across them and kept my distance, watched with fingers on front brakes as they tried to kick each other off their scooters, riding standing up, etc, and weaving about causing cage drivers to take evasive action and emergency brakes. They appear to be 15yrs young.
When they spotted me in their mirrors, they thought it would be fun to ride three wide, tailgate and attempt road blocking moves, etc.
So should I cross paths with them a third time should I:
a) Out run them since their top end is about 65km/h but run the risk of speed camera fines.
b) Stop and wait.
c) your idea's please.
I'm not interested in anything illegal like kicking their butts. I want Mr :Police: to be on my side.
I got some of their Rego numbers, so would feeding that to the :Police: do anything?

get as far away from em as possible. Guilty by association comes to mind .
I can see the headlines now "gang of motorcycle youths terrorises central chch"
Personally I'd probably do something different but I have the advantage of being an old bastard on a big bike.

You're being intimidated by a buch of kids. On SJ50s? Oh fuck me that's funny.
If you want to put them in their place and earn their respect in one easy go, hoist a minger and carve straight through them on one wheel.
They'll think you're the coolest cunt on the planet and probably buy you a milkshake or something.

That'd get you a good reputation as a spoilsport and nark.
I remember beeing "dobbed" by members of the public when I was a kid, looking back it was the best thing for me but at the time, shit there was a lot of car egging and the likes going on.

Isnt "minger" pommie slang for a skanky looking bird? As in cheap women?
Even better, he needs you to make an appearance, put on another of your famous WT (TM) shows and then pull up and tell him , out loud, at the high end of loud, how you wish you were as good as him.

Follow them. Not to close, but enough so they know you are there. When one seperates from the pack, follow them home. Then when they have arrived at their place, just keep on riding along, as if it was coincidence that they were heading where you were. Do this to another member of the pack next time you see them

We had a couple of young scooter boys up our street who liked to show off doing wheelies, standing on seat, riding down the footpath etc. My daughter got the rego number and phoned the constabulary who came and paid a visit. Problem solved. Their behaviour offended me because I didn't want my neighbours thinking that that's the way all bikers behaved.
And you may just save one of their lives. I was set on the straight and narrow by a bike cop years ago who pulled me aside one day and told me why what I was doing was stupid. (still gave me the ticket though). He road an RD350 in his off work time so you had to respect the guy a bit.

Whilst it's not as bold as the trash's suggestion, my advice is to deprive them of the opportunity to get their rocks off - like frosty, just get out of there, take the next turn and go round the block or find another route and don't let the little shits impact your life.
yin yang and what goes around etc - they'll get theirs, one of these days a 6'5" WWF size 'rocker' like me will return the favour.

They werent trying to be intimidating, your on a fxr, they were trying to merge you into their herd as one of them as your not that far off being a scooter really. They probably recognised that you were vulnerable by yourself in the savanah of roadways patrolled by rhino utes, hippo trucks and gator cars. Being unable to move as quick or fight like cheetah and lion bikes the other merecats were just trying to offer you the saftey of numbers. :msn-wink:

Wind 'em up - piss them off, then lend your bike to Mr Plod and tell him/her to ride through them to see wht you mean.
Could be a lot of fun.
'course you could take a bunch of regos, get their home details and post them some letters letting them know you want them to calm down, and you know where they live... and leave it at that

our mate on the 150 doesn't have the same luxury.
I was going to suggest he borrow a decent size and make of bike - something with good "bad boy" cred (preferably British and black in colour) - throw on a set of leathers, roll up to them and do some serious Rocker action on their Mod arses. Dirty their anoraks at least.
Seriously: borrow the big bike, put on the leathers, roll up to them in a really public place with lots of by-standers, point at the scootabois and laugh your arse off. Rev the mean-as engine a few times so they can savour the note of something that doesn't sound like an enraged gnat trapped in a Milo tin and then calmly ride away from the lights at a sensible legal "I don't have anything to prove, you can see I've got a REAL bike" pace.
If you know there's a cop parked up the road you could do the time-honoured blip the engine at them at the lights, size 'em up, do all the "wanna play, big boy?" stuff, ensure you've got them hooked into a race situation, then - when the lights change - ride sedately away while they rocket off the lights, speed up the road and get snapped by the cop. If they try to claim you egged them on, deny everything.

Flyingpony, if you know where they park their bikes, I've heard a small bottle of acetone in the petrol tank will make them think their Pissolas are Daytonas - until the acetone breaks down their engine oil and the resultant overheating welds their pistons to their bores...

hey i dont mean to sound like the police is useless becuase they do "some" work, but i have done the same, taken down reg and went to cops for 3 offences, one including the guy driving behind me at 100kph than accelerating and hitting my back bumper, i had a witness in in all 3 cases, and was doing nothing provoke the idiots i shouold mention!
I went in and wrote a complaint each time, once they called me back and got me to talk to a cop... was a good hour of my time wasted as i never herd from them again
other two times nothing
I asked to be informed of the actions taken and the outcome...never got a call
Why bother? Im sure they have enough complints in thers computer that they never bother to follow up anyway :angry2:
but knowing the way the system works if you do something to teach the boys the lesson Mr officer will surely be more than happy to take action, or give you a speeding ticket, besides thats how they gather the revenue!!!!

Thanks guys. Interesting advice. Didn't know about the 'acetone' one.
Certainly glad my tank has got a lock on it.
Should our paths cross, I'll try to get some more Rego's and then write some friendly 'Dear parent' letters.
I'll definitely pull over next time so I'm not seen to be part of their crowd.

Have to agree with Wolf on this one. Get yourself a big bike. Doesn't have to be American Or Brittish just has to be bigger, cooler looking and better sounding than thier junkies. Stop at the lights next to them look over at them smile and shake your head (this works better if wearing a beanie helmet but is fine with a full as long as they see you shake your head) then don't look at them again. Tells them you've seen them and you're not impressed. This might just egg them on but if so just laugh and ride away. If they continue then pull over and get off your bike and slowly start removing your helmet and gloves. This point they should be riding away at speed. Worked everytime I did it and I am by no means huge. Just look it in my leathers.:shifty:

No, don't remove helmet or gloves. They make you more intimidating. Just stop , get off, flex your fingers a bit, and unsling your bike security chain (you *DO* carry that essential biker accoutrement, a honking big chain, usually slung round shoulders, with a honking big padlock dangling off the end. For security purposes. Don't you ?), and walk toward them slowly, swinging said chain. They'll depart fast.

Pity your not on a bigger bike. One side swipe from a heavier bike and one by one they'd be on their asses. Generally punks like this are only tough when they are in close proximity with their mates. Had a bunch of spot nosed winps give me grief down town on the piss once. Told them if they all formed a line and waited patiently, I'd knock eached ones head off individually. Bloody street kids, all they wanted was alcohol and quickly pissed offonce I said that...

Mate of mine when he was younger - 6'3" or so but of bean-pole physique - was being followed up the road by a bunch of guys who looked like they were out for aggro. He crossed the road and crossed back to confirm they were following then straightens up, flexes his shoulders, puts a bit of spring in his step and starts whistling I Can Feel it Coming in The Air Tonight - looks back: empty street...
He reckoned they'd've wiped him out - superior numbers - so the only thing he could do was make them think he had no fear on that score and was capable of (and actually looking forward to) wiping them all out.

About thouse 3 scooter boys, have you ever seen that gorilla foam stuff that they (builders/ engeneers) use for glueing and filling in gaps if you put a few squirts of that in the exhause and give it bout 30 min to rise... that scooter will never bother you again :p
Gremlin
22nd April 2005, 01:05
that gorilla foam even causes shit for the guns themselves...
I know you don't want to harm them, but I have a nice image in my head I would like to share.
Remember those old westerns and the way they slung their rifles under the saddle?? Very cool looking. This would probably be best on a cruiser, but you have the same set up but with a baseball bat instead.
Come up behind, with baseball bat in hand swinging, and pass one. As you pass him, wallop him over the head. Hard. He will probably fall off, and at this point you slow down and let the others past (if they are still continuing). Accelerate and repeat again. They will get the message pretty quickly.
NOTE: Due to a PC public, this manoeuvre would frighten them. Best used in conjunction with a swinging license plate and perhaps as few witnesses as possible...

Easiest thing to do is to just remove yourself from the situation, just take the next left, go round the block, by the time you get back to where you started - they'll be long gone.

Ah yes - wait until they are parked and mess up the angles of all of their mirrors. They'll take so long to realign them you'll be able to make clean get away.

A 'real' bike in my mind is not a 250cc japanese cruiser. Maybe when i get my full ill look at a sports bike, but see no point in spending 7000 on a bike im gonna use for 18mths and then sell. Where as with a scooter you dont constantly upgrade to bigger cc.
BTW, i'll prob also buy a suzuki gn125/250 to get used to both. Only just got my bike license today.

that doesn't make sense, your saying we have to upgrade to higher cc, whereas you scooter boys don't, it's not that we have to it's that we like going faster and faster until we can't go no faster unlike scooters which max out at what 70? with a tail wind and steep downhill, got mine up to 90 going down stuart st early one sunday mourning sounded so damn funny reeeeeeenenennenen :killingme can't wait to get a gixxer though!!! just theres nothing around at the moment in my area

oh and the sr250 only cost me $900 and it's been reliable as anything, haven't had a single problem with it (except the idle thing but that was an easy fix) i do miss the cheap rego fees of what $70? on scooters for a whole year, now it's $250

150cc goes 100kms, up to like 115 with mods.
With scooters there arent multiple different cc ratings. Ive notcied people are always upgrading their motorbike to a higher cc, not the case with scooters.

Don't always go up in cc. My next bike will probably be a step down in cc. Just a step up in horsepower

Umm... WTF?
Way to completely not get the entire point of the post... Seriously, what the crap? It's like laughing at a guy with one leg, deep down, you're the retard.
Whatever though, I'm tired.
