Bad scooter rider

[marie_speeds]

Was with the kids at the Santa Parade in Henderson yesterday. Road blocks in place, traffic at a standstill etc so one very clever scooter rider thought they'd mount the footpath and ride down it trying to get through the road block via the footpath. I was horrified to say the least as there were parents, kids and prams everywhere. Not impressed you bloody idiot!

[James Deuce]

Burn him!!

[Edbear]

Burn him!!

Him or her? Looks like a girl...:blink:

[steelphoenix]

:facepalm: Idiocy.

I notice the rego on the scooter. Mr Plod might be interested in his/her actions...

[James Deuce]

Him or her? Looks like a girl...:blink:

I'm trying to avoid the inevitable religious debate that the words "burn her" invoke plus the mental images of crispy 14 year old girls pre-packaged in a custom formed roasting dish.

[pritch]

It does seem a bit crowded in the pic but... I haven't ridden a scooter on the footpath to ride around a road closure since ummm last Thursday?

You don't buy a moped to sit and wait, you buy a car for that. :whistle:

[pritch]

Him or her? Looks like a girl...:blink:

Of course it's a girl, she's riding side saddle.:scooter:

[hellokitty]

what a loser = Full face helmet but bare arms and legs - probably wearing jandals :shit: make a complaint to the cops - she will get a letter in the mail telling her off - at least she will know that she was spotted being a dick.

[Elusive1]

Oh well, if she took it easy then who cares. That's one of the perks of having a little bike.

Bullshit. Same rules as anyone else is subject to on the road.
Light, small, manouevreable - does not mean do whatever you want.

Not as bad as the dickhead I saw yesterday on a Balius, full face helmet, short shorts, singlet, jandals.. Last I saw he was heading off toward the motorway.. :facepalm:
Fucking squids..

Yeah maybe she could have got off the bike and pushed it. Does not happen every day though.

[Spearfish]

I went through just b4 the road closed on a blue scoot forgetting the parade was on. Its a strange feeling riding past a big crowd but a few kids waved.

I would drop a note to the plod, the Heshe will only get a letter but unless some someone corrects them then they will blindly carry on as if its normal.

[SMOKEU]

That's half the point in having a scooter; riding over foot paths to cut through traffic.

[MSTRS]

Of course! :facepalm:
I got a GSXR cos it can top 270kph...

[DMNTD]

Why else would you get one? :corn: :shifty::chase:

[cowboyz]

because all the kawasakis were out of stock?

Living in England (in Devon at the time) our friend had the door of their car taken out by a granny on a mobility cart. He could do nothing as he had one baby in his arms and his todler still in the car seat, the granny went between him and the car collecting the door at the same time. The police knew who it was as she had already broken another peds leg in a previous collision (and don't tell me she did not know what she was doing the mobility cart was already in the workshop having the front fixed up when the police went to speak to her!) ... think what this idiot could do on a scooter riding along a foot path full of little kids looking at the road waiting for Santa:shit: he / she is a total moron:crazy:

[cheshirecat]

Would have been more interesting if they were riding one of these -the fastest C90 on the West - sorry East (http://www.visordown.com/rose-tinted-spectacle/very-very-very-fast-honda-c90/16027.html)

Imagine the look on someones face, as you powered away from them at the lights....

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree? :yes:

[The Everlasting]

Yup,should never ride on the footpath if there are that many people on it!!

[marie_speeds]

Well I am just glad no little ones got in her way! Or she didn't suddenly run into a mother pushing a pram! With a crowd like that they most likely would've burnt her at the stake had anything happened!

Forget Santa kids we've got a good old fashioned witch burning to do! LOL Santa can we borrow your sleigh we need fire wood...

[hellokitty]

It would have taught her a valuable lesson if she had scared a mother and child, and been given a bollocking.

[thepom]

Who cares about the kids? for the price of raising a kid you could have a garage full of bikes......anyway ,there are loads of harley riders out there with their short fingered gloves,t shirts and jandals on so whats so bad about the scooter rider?
one good crash and they will have learned their lesson ATGATT....:facepalm:

[baptist]

Jebus fuckin' Christ!! Where can I get one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shit:

+1,000,000 that is simply scary:shit::shit::shit: good to see he was fully kitted out...:facepalm:

[cheshirecat]

Here Takegawa Japan (http://www.takegawa.nl/)
Apparently you can build a complete tuned Honda engine without using Honda parts

They want dealers too.

[rebel]

I'd feed it to her.

I've been riding around Auckland this w/e in just jeans, steel caps and t shirt, had some self rightous tosser on an old all terrain bike shake his head, fucked if I'm getting dressed up to ride around a 50 kay area. Next thing the nanny state and its sheep will demand lycra cyclists to don leathers.

That would be AWESOME!

[scissorhands]

Only one scooter on the footpath? meh....

Lol.... Oh noes my baby! They do this in China all the time... Its called growth. I have no problem with scooters using the footpath to get around lights and such.

People relax. You didn't get hit did you? (lol no one did) So don't make it your business to play cop. :facepalm:

So if I understand your core premise correctly:

"Do it if you can get away with it"

Is that about it?

Motorcyclists bitch about their ACC levies, being targeted by police, etc. And then go ahead and condone riding on the fucking footpath while kids are at the Santa Parade. Fucking genius.

OK! Next time you break down and get tired of pushing your bike and roll it on a hill on the footpath I be sure to call the police. :yes:

I think a nanny state full of police informants is far worst then any ACC levies could be.

BTW I was driving though Henderson and was lane slitting though the traffic wanna call that in while your at it? ( Might have been a poor innocent helpless baby in one of those huge SUVs.)

Where will it stop? Taking a picture is fucking pathetic. Is that all you have to do? You must be Bord. Fuck I hate tadle tales.


Wait what? its a WOMEN. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE SHE HAS CLEARLY DONE THE CRIME OF LEAVING THE KITCHEN AFTER HER!

[MSTRS]

Stamp your feet all you like. Fact remains it's not legal to operate a powered, road-type vehicle on a public footpath.
Bikers are not a law unto themselves, and nor are scooterists (not that they are bikers LOL).

Ok then, no one was hit. What if there was though? Would that still be ok?
I assure you that they wouldn't be ok if they had ridden into me...let alone one of my kids

:yes: and when my Anarchist communism utopia is finshed I will declare that motorbikes and scooter may drive on the footpath at speed below 20kphr. :innocent:

It's okay. I dislike people with poor linguistic abilities. About as much as I dislike irresponsible fuckwits.

[doko]

Did I also include the fact that "city/sports" SUVs will be banned. There will be no WOF system for European cars below 10 years of age and people will only be able to breed once.

VOTE DOKO NOW!

What's your oppinion on lane splitting big fella? :corn:

[imdying]

Bikers are not a law unto themselves, and nor are scooterists (not that they are bikers LOL).Uh huh... it is also not legal for a learner to operate a motorcycle at more than 70km/hr, but you advocate that :blink: Oh noes though, breaking that law, that one is for saftey, it's ok to break that one :facepalm:

[MSTRS]

What's your oppinion on lane splitting big fella? :corn:
There's a right way...and a wrong way...ie legal or 'here's your ticket'. I'm ambivalent as to how safe it might be.

Yep and you'll find he also spelt his own name wrong. There should be an "r" between the first "o" and the "k"

[marie_speeds]

Surprisingly I get some of what Dorko was trying to say. And many of us here have no doubt bent the rules just that little bit. The problem that I had with the actions of the scooter rider was that, at that particular time and in that particular situation it was a very stupid call to make. And thank goodness no little ones got hurt as a result of her actions. However had it gone the other way just think of the field day the media and police would have had because of the stupid actions of one.

My baby! My baby! I breed so now EVERYONE MUST DANCE AROUND ME. MY BABY YOUR GOING 60KPHR ON MY ROAD! MY BABY! I know lets get a baby on board sigh! Then I can assault truck drivers with hammers when I get road rage and claim it was to protect my wonderful family.

Teach your dam children road sense or keep them inside its not my job to be a parent to your children.

Dam children? Like water babies?

I'm figuring you're just trolling, because I can honestly not believe that anybody is that dense. This brick on my desk would have understood the concept of responsibility, associated risk and appropriate place and time by now.

Would you take a firearm into a public location with children and open fire then blame other people when they are hit?

After all, they should have taught their "dam" children to duck when they hear guns.

Your obviously confused by which one is the foot path and which one is the road. And what's the bet you think that jerking off is the same as having a girlfriend...:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::l augh:

Bullshit! It is basic respect. A small child (watched by it's parents) rode their bike into my Mum. She could have been hurt. That is wrong, as is riding a scooter on the footpath and risking injury to others.
People need to show a bit of respect to others and parents need to teach their kids, otherwise they grow up into the kind of loser that rides a scooter on the footpath.

Or, even worse, into the sort of person that would defend such scroter rider/s...

She's a witch!!

Burn her!!!

Throw her in the ocean. If shes a witch she'll sink (eventually). If shes not a witch God will save her and she'll be there in the morning.

Dry her off. Apoligise. Carry on

Isn't it the other way? If she is a witch she will float and so must be burned at the stake - if she is not a witch then she will drown........
either way not a good outcome.

I think you're right. What an honour to go be with the Lord as a not witch.
Such comfort to the family.

And the scary thing about history? Tomorrow, today will be history.
