Any Christchurch riders seen this guy?

[Gibbo89]

he is a rather larger man hooning around on a wee maroon colored suzuki sj50.

he wears an old school open faced helmet and blue sweatpants, and is often carving up on the very left of the road weaving in between parked and slowly moving cars during rush hour.

has been sighted:

riccarton road, and greers road area.

he is sacking out his wee moped very nicely. seen him quite a bit lately...

[SMOKEU]

I'm pretty sure I've seen an offender matching that description a few times.

[EJK]

I'll keep an eye out

[Kornholio]

You wanna see the postman on the poor little ct110 in Rotorua... good advert for Honda durability

One identity of the 70s & 80s that frequented the same areas was a Dwarf on a Honda Z50 Gorilla :yes: Von mannsburg was his surname.
This guy should be an easy spot though

[imdying]

Yeah, think that guy works in the building next door. He still rides it to work every day.


The dough boy on the scooter, seen him too :yes:

[Muppet]

I see the big guy all the time. He usually rides with shorts, t-shirt and jandals no matter what the temperature, oh and no gloves of course. His bike looks bigger than a 50cc job though. The bike I see him riding has panniers and a top box. He rides far too quick for my liking, eventually he'll fall off.

:shit: if it's the same one he's doing bloody well, must be overdue to retire :yes:

Some people just have to learn the hard way.

The big guy used to work at a petrol station near me. One day i saw him arriving on it and a family was all openly laughing directy at him as he had to walk past there car as it was being filled up. Ok it was funny but that was just fucking cruel to watch.

He is a biiig boy

[Cayman911]

haha reminds me this time in auckland i saw this guy riding a rusty old ready to be scrapped vespa in full alpine star gear. was crack up

[hellokitty]

:Punk: there is a rather large guy on the North Shore that rides a GN250 - he fills the enitre seat front to back and wears shorts and jandals. Don't quite know how the GN copes though......

[AllanB]

The Dwarf was still in town a year or more ago - I spied him flogging this bike down Kilmore Street.

[toycollector10]

The description of the guy is very similar to the scooter rider, doing about 30kph on the bloody footpath on the Straven Road shops about 6 months ago. If I'd stepped out of the dry cleaners half a second earlier I jwould have been a dead man or at least seriously injured. He needs to get his shit together!

Saw him yesterday (or the day before) when I was on my way to work. Good on him!

Haha, I've seen that guy.

A few of the 'strange' riders I've seen are either fat women on scooters or pot bellied guys on GN250s.

[thepom]

Well when he finally gets squished he ll be cursing the day he never wore the right gear......:Punk:

[AxN]

I have seen this guy on SJ50 though not recently. Sounds like the route he rides on is very close to where I live...

I think I know who you're talking about, he used to ride a GN or similar a few years back, and now has a Honda cruiser. Jandels, shorts and a t-shirt everytime.

[cruza]

Used to see a one armed guy in chch about 20 yrs ago on a gn250 , which he had cut the unused handle bar off. Can't say I've seen the dwarf round at all......
Mind you saw honda cg110 at petrol station the other day , rare sight for a commuter these days , used to be dime a dozen

[Taz]

Stalkers! .

Don't you mean he will roll off!

[pritch]

Now now. As an XXOS SJ50 rider I resemble that remark.

And as for the guy who laughed at the scooterist in the good riding gear, did you not wonder what his other bike was?

[AllanB]

I think I know who you're talking about, he used to ride a GN or similar a few years back, and now has a Honda cruiser. Jandels, shorts and a t-shirt everytime.

Now this guy I see quite often - even in winter he has a sleeveless top and jandels on!

[one fast tl1ooo]

Nope not me :mellow:

Yeah that's him, everytime I see him which is about every fortnight, I just cringe as I start visualisng him coming off and the road peeling him like a banana:sick:. Always seem to see him around Heaton Street, last time I saw him he came out of the fish and chip shop on Normans Road. He took off like a rocket, It's like he has the bike in first and all he does is hit the starter with the clutch in and drop it as he sits on the bike; all at once. I must say he looks like he's enjoying himself.

He's still around - or was a year or two ago

[shrub]

Yeah, he's been around for as long as I can remember. He rides a hell of a lot and you see either him or his bike verywhere.

[FruitLooPs]

I've seen the guy on the bike (gn125?) with the t-shirt, potbelly for africa half lid and jandles sometimes a crate bunjee'd on the back of it too :scooter:

Going to work down hereford street about 1yr ago a dwarf used to regularly ride down on a Z50 with those riser bars. Pretty cool really, think it was yellow :Punk:
