But, You Didn't See Me

------------------------------------

I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.

But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last
Sunday.

I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the
sidewalk.

But, you didn't see me,
playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you,
change your mind about going into the restaurant.

But, you didn't see me,
attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.

But, you didn't see me,
driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you,
frown at me when I smiled at your children.

But, you didn't see me,
when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you,
stare at my long hair.

But, you didn't see me,
and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.

But, you didn't see me,
and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you,
look in fright at my tattoos.

But, you didn't see me,
cry as my children where born and have their name written over and in my
heart.

I saw you,
change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.

But, you didn't see me,
going home to be with my family.

I saw you,
complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.

But, you didn't see me,
when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you,
yelling at your kids in the car.

But, you didn't see me,
pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you,
reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.

But, you didn't see me,
squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you,
race down the road in the rain.

But, you didn't see me,
get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.

But, you didn't see me,
trying to turn right.

I saw you,
cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.

But, you didn't see me,
leave the road.

I saw you,
waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.

But, you didn't see me.
I wasn't there.

I saw you,
go home to your family.

But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker,......
A person with friends and a family.

[Qkchk]

Very nice.......... green bling comin.

[vtec]

Nice... should help people reprioritise.

[justsomeguy]

That made me feel sick.

[Rossi Gal]

well written, but sickening thought

[Skyryder]

Needs to be posted a cage forum. Any one know of any?? Post links.

[Youngjim]

Nice one Sunhunting, do you mind if I post this on another couple of bike forums I belong too ?

[Dont_die_wondering]

good post, kinda sickening the thought, all cagers should read that!

[Crasherfromwayback]

Nice but not nice if you know what I mean.
I'm having a nice pinot to that now for all of us that have had to suffer from such foolish and needless stupidity.
Cheers.

[ZeroIndex]

very nice post :) green bling on its way

[UrbanMyth]

wooooaah deep dude :rockon:

That was sad,...so true though.

[Blairos]

haha awesome.

[sunhuntin]

cheers guys....post it whereever you like....i aint gonna complain! the more people that read it the better....email it to everyone you think will be interested.

i did post it on trademe and got a coupla replies.

what i think would be good is if our survival stories from accidents not caused by us could be condensed into a cheap book and passed out at bike places [ie, battle of the streets, cemetary circuit] not naming places, but just the situation and what happened and our recovery... stonechuckers would be good as a starter....and maybe photos of injuries as well.
maybe have a stack at busy gas stations as well.

[Macktheknife]

Thanks for the post, its sad but so many just 'didn't see you'
It gets pretty thin after a while.
Green bling

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Yes that was a good read and how true could it be. We should send into the papers and get them to publish it.

[Nasty]

Problem is that this is more than true ...

[NighthawkNZ]

To true... too true.. :(

[yungatart]

I have seen it before, but some things are worth reading more than once.

[MyGSXF]

Tis very good.. & unfortunately very true.. :bye:

Maybe they could incorporate it into the road code somewhere.. :Punk:

[Pwalo]

That sounds so American, and so self pitying. We're not any more special because we ride motor bikes.

Come on guys, stop feeling maudlin, and watch out for yourselves. Now where's that coffee...

[Harry33]

hehe he's another one....

I saw you pull up the driveway as I was banging your girlfriend. hehehehe


yeah not really that funny but I'm bored, no bike, no job, no beer...atleast it's nice and summer like.

[avgas]

Been seen guys and girls, even if its riding dangeously on one wheel, pulling the fingers. atleast ya seen

[The Pastor]

make motorbikes compulsary. That way some of the dickless cage drivers will be subjected to natural slection.


However, If I can ride (and some say its open to debate) I feel alot of people will slip through this slection.

[mitchilin]

I knew there was a reason I stopped reading Sleazy Rider.

Why? There's nothing in there that made me feel like having a wank.








Sorry. Over-maudlin yank shit brings out my inner mongrel.

Come on guys, stop feeling maudlin, and watch out for yourselves. Now where's that coffee...

A bit harsh to say when it was a lovely read, however, I do agree that as Bikers we do have a habit of feeling sorry for ourselves and blaming others.......the cops, the cagers, the Govt......

We are the makers of our destiny.............

Funny cause we rave about how free riding a bike makes us feel, better than sex etc.....but we are still complain......

[Meanie]

I thought this should be shared with all of you I know some may have read it before but for those who havnt..........

sad but true-awesome words

[Headbanger]

Cant say I have ever played Santa, raised money for hurricane relief, nor taken time off work for a toy run for the homeless, Would give a homeless joe a kick up the backside before I gave over my freakin gloves,

Though I do try and hit 100mph at least once a day.

Does that count?

[kro]

It's a pretty true set of statements. We've all been victim to one of more of them at some point.

I too had not seen that before, would make a good ACC advert but then of course ACC don't want us on bike so...

[illusivemenace]

nice:niceone:

[sunhuntin]

ive had it printed and stuck to my wall for about 5 years now... i love it, and it is so damn true.

JMemonic, there is a 5 second advert on the radio at the mo about bikes. waste of space really, as its so short, by the time you hear it, they are waffling on about something else.

[JMemonic]

JMemonic, there is a 5 second advert on the radio at the mo about bikes. waste of space really, as its so short, by the time you hear it, they are waffling on about something else.

I don't listen to the radio often and by the sounds of it even if I did it would be missed, shame really considering the funds bikers contribute to ACC that something like this is not used.

Even the other half thinks it is good and she is scared enough about bikes, sadly it reminds me of the reactions of non bikers to seeing some of us in leathers with our helmets under our arms.

[Toaster]

Yep, makes you think twice about the way you ride when you might just have to react to avoid a car hitting you when you least expect it. It's not what we expect that catches us out, it is what we didn't expect and lack of time to react.

[deanohit]

sadly it reminds me of the reactions of non bikers to seeing some of us in leathers with our helmets under our arms.

Do you remember the old Sultana Bran add from the mid 90s? WHere all those patched bikers on harleys pull up at a cafe, walk in and sit down, then take off their helmets and they're all oldies! :niceone:

I don't understand what you don't understand.

[Big Dave]

As for 'The Biker'

C*** needs to HTFU.

[Katman]

I say permanently ban the next fucker that posts up that pile of self-absorbed bullshit.

[Irontusk]

I don't understand what you don't understand.

Now, I'm just going to twist your words (not much) and read that as both of us not understanding :whistle:
I just know my hair would have always been in the way, and a complete and total mess after taking the helmet off. Even taking a sweatshirt off was usually enough to make it explode.

And yeah it's quite crazy how many times this poem has seen a repost.

[Drew]

I say permanently ban the next fucker that posts up that pile of self-absorbed bullshit.


Somebody kich the juke box, the record is skipping again.

We all accept our own safety responsability, so is it not in our own interest to try and raise awareness of others?

I say permanently ban you for being such a repetitive bore.

[Katman]

I'm sorry Drew.

Clearly that sort of pap appeals to your tender side.

You go, you new age guy.

:msn-wink:

[Headbanger]

Whats the bet this is still getting posted on a regular basis in a decade....Though perhaps Katman would have keeled over from the stress of it all by then.

"The fools, they never listened" he whispers as clutching his chest he falls to the ground.

[Horse]

Should I be concerned that I'm agreeing with katman?

Frankly it's got nothing to do with any supposed "safety" message, it's just that they call this kind of endlessly reposted/chain-emailed shite "glurge" for a reason.

Somebody get me a bucket....

[gismo]

Got the following email to me today. Recon it could be worth giving it to anyone getting a car licence compulsary to read...

I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But you didn't see me playing Santa at the local Mall.
I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front. But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you roll your eyes at our Leather jackets and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.
I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you didn't see me cry as my children where born or have their name written over and in my heart.
I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be with my family.
I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane..
I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was safe behind me.
I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.
I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.
I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But you didn't see me trying to turn right.
I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But you didn't see me.

What do you guys think???

[Hitcher]

What do you guys think???

I wish I had $100 for every previous time it had been posted. Then I could buy a Speed Triple.

[gismo]

well sorry for the repost... i think its rather inportant..... not a piss take :blink:

[JimO]

important my arse, regurgitated american tripe

[gismo]

Then can someone explain to me why its so shit????

I see posts about car drivers not seeing bikers but when i post something like this it not only gets moved but it gets bagged aswell. Is a little confused at this point.

[smoky]

I think it's too long to read

Don't take it personal, it's just that over the years some of these things get posted heaps of times and it gets a bit boring for those that have been around a while.

Personally, I find the whole thing to be too sentimental. So much so that it makes me wanna hurl!

[maybe]

I thought it was good and have posted it on the Maxitag site as well.
This is the first time I have seen it.

[Hitcher]

For stuff that's not your own work, it generally pays to use the search function to see if somebody else has already posted it. The same courtesy probably extends to the Maxitag site too (whatever that is).

[avgas]

sounds like the mongrel mob sountrack to me

[1 Free Man]

why is it older members of KB find it necessary to beatup on newer member when they post something that has appeared before. :whocares:
some of us who haven't been around that long haven't seen the posting from 1995 and quite enjoy reading what turns out to be a repost.:whocares:
I just hope they give the SKY TV people the same shit when sky are rerunning the same programs from 2 months ago and that have been on 4 times in the last 12 months.
At least with KB you don't pay to see reposts and if you have seen it before DON'T READ IT.:doh:
Ah that's better. Just like having a good shit. Great to get it out of your system.:done:

Believe me .. im not taking it personally. But as '1 free man' put, rather well might i add,... the older member on this site are really helpful at time but other times are just plain cocks! To me KB is a site where bikers can come to vent, sell or buy stuff, meet other bikers, and LEARN!!!

Good on ya gismo... Like many, I hadn't seen it before either. Makes one think. Shame car drivers don't get this forced down their throats though...

Shit... I don't even know how to use the search function!!!

I admit i didnt either until it was pointed out.. but then i dont know if i would even know what to search for as it didnt have a title when i got it emailed to me. I guess its a learning curve just like riding my bike.

[Her_C4]

Wouldn't worry too much about it all, there is always someone to jump all over ya' given a chance - hell even I do it sometimes:dodge:

The search function is really easy but not always reliable I have found. Just copy of the text into the search field and cut out every word that is three letters or less.

(you) pull your child closer when (we) passed each other (on the) sidewalk

Sometimes there are heaps of returns ... like for example 'waving' threads and others there are one or two or none.

Have fun;)

[Grub]

Well Gismo, it is a bit soppy ... but I hadn't read it before either (been here 2 yrs too) and I enjoyed it because of the element of truth in it.

[gismo]

Well Gismo, it is a bit soppy ... but I hadn't read it before either (been here 2 yrs too) and I enjoyed it because of the element of truth in it.

Well i hadnt thought about the soppyness to it but you are right.. Maybe its being taken outta contect in which i meant it to be... the truth part which you have pointed out. Cheers

[James Deuce]

It's actually BS. Does anyone think for even a moment that other road users ever take into account the actual value of the lives around them?

It certainly isn't something that is taught in this country at all, and as far as making anyone "think" it's far too maudlin' to do anything except remind one of the futility of relying on road users to treat other people with a modicum of respect.

If one of the fictitious characters listed in that trite little piece did kill "one of us" do you think they would waste a moment's regret on a dead biker, especially when you consider the average reaction to nearly killing someone.

It's like this:

"I didn't see you." ( I can't reply, for some reason my brain won't get my mouth in gear.)

"Come on get up." (I can't feel my legs).

"Someone call an ambulance." (why? what's wrong with me?)

Three days later in hospital.

"Oh my God, I thought I'd killed you. I'm so sorry, what can I do to make it up to you."

Three months later after finally getting the damage to your back fixed and getting full mobility back. Still 3 months to go before you can work though.

At the court case:

"Everyone knows motorcyclists speed everywhere, and I believe he was too. He was so unresponsive at the accident site that he must have been drunk or on drugs." This from the bastard who spent hours at my bedside crying.

You see, he had 3 months to convince himself that it was all my fault. His life went on OK. Mine has been "challenged" to say the least. Good thing I'm up for it.

[James Deuce]

It's not an opinion.

[gismo]

It's not an opinion.

Well what the fuck is it??? Is it retard hour???

[James Deuce]

No. It's precisely what happened to me. Fact as opposed to opinion. I've spent a lot of time in a lot of hospital rooms watching other mates get the same speech from people who've just near killed them. One minute it's "boohoo, I nearly killed you". The next, invariably in court, it's, "He's a motorcyclist so he deserved it."

A good proportion of the time, the person who caused the accident just fucks off because they aren't man/woman enough to own up to it.

1360posts and you don't know how to use the search. :laugh:
That's bloody great. I don't know either and I don't ferk'n care to much.
At least it gives the old KB cronies something to vent their spleens about. LOL:2thumbsup

[1 Free Man]

that gets posted every couple of months
Yeah that's cool it probably does in one form of another.
But the question remains. Why is it necessary to beat up on new members!?
We all come on the site and like to take part (all be it with reposts), Have our say, and just be part of the atmosphere and what do we get from the older members, the REPOST putdown.
Lighten up you guys Live and let live.
Go through the members list some time and have a look at how many people have signed up to KB and maybe put up the odd post or two but thats as far as they went. Perhaps the got the REPOST putdown and decided "fuck you lot stick it up your ......!" and never came back.
Think about it and:Playnice:

I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the
grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an
extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.


I saw you pull your child closer when we passed
each other on the sidewalk. But you didn't see me
playing Santa at the local Mall.


I saw you change your mind about going into the
restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front.
But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise
more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you roll up your window and shake your head
when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding

out the car window.

donate our old ones to those that had none.


I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you
didn't see me cry as my children where born or

[Big Dave]

I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the
grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an
extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
It gets the old girl off my back and fortunately
I still had $200 for booze and hookers.

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed
each other on the sidewalk. But you didn't see me
playing Santa at the local Mall.
I cant help being a fat old coot but this is a sure
fire way to cash in on it - and perv on those mothers.

I saw you change your mind about going into the
restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front.
But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise
more money for the hurricane relief. And yes I know
that Hooters is classless, but I didn't realise that a Hurricane
was what the brochure meant by the 'big gulf blow'.

I saw you roll up your window and shake your head
when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding
behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt
out the car window. More importantly did you see
when I flicked you the bird - you *****.

I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your
children. But you didn't see me, when I took time
off from work to run toys to the homeless,
some of whom I evicted so I'm paying back, and
I had to stop off down the waterfront for a beer.

I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't
see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks
of Love. These days I have 12 inches but don't use it as a rule.

I saw you roll your eyes at our Leather jackets
and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers
donate our old ones to those that had none.
Poor b@stards - I hope the smell might wash out eventually.

I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you
didn't see me cry as my children where born or
have their name written over and in my heart.
Later I added 'tidy your ******** room'
and 'no, you can't have $20' - in a skull
with snakes coming out of it.

I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go
somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be
with my family, at the clubhouse. I'm going to get
drunk and they have to trailer the bike home.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our
bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were
changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
Fortunately I saw you, you and every other clown
who drives like he got a licence from a cereal box.

I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you
didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was
safe behind me, doing 80, in a tee shirt and sneakers.

I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you
drove down the road. But you didn't see me squeeze
my wife's leg when she told me to take the next
turn. Pisses me off that I can't grab her t*ts from here.

I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you
didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son
could have the car to go on his date. The pussy.
Sooner he grows up the better. Little sponger
wanted the bike but there is nil chance of that happening.

I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few
minutes of time. But you didn't see me trying to
turn right. But I'm used to dipsticks like you that
can't drive so, situation normal.
Never a cop around when you need one.

I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in
the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the
road. But hey I was in a hurry - the pub was about to close.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to
pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
Unless the cops have hard evidence and then they
need to talk to my lawyer.

I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't
see me. Because I died that day you cut me off.
I've died other times too. Bad jokes usually.
And the one about the Priest and the Prostitute,
but it was funny when she told me.

I was just a biker. A person with friends and a
family. But you didn't see me. So unless
there were fingerprints we can just forget the
whole thing.

Repost this around in hopes that people will
understand the biker community.
Then flap your wings and
try and fly to the moon.
You also better stock up on tinfoil.

If you don't repost this 700,000 times, it sucks to be you. I

I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you didn't see me cry as my children where born or have their name written over and in my heart.


I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be with my family.

I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was safe behind me.


I saw you texting as you drove down the road. But you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you run a red light just to save a few minutes of time. But you didn't see me trying to turn right.

I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the road.

I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because I died that day you cut me off.


I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But you didn't see me.

sorry again:weep:

[short-circuit]

And it was lame the first time

[Headbanger]

Please God...NO.....not this drivel again....again...again...again

Though it is quite funny how often people stumble across it and think OMG THIS NEEDS TO BE ON KIWIBIKER.

In another decade it will probably have been posted thousands of times.

[Blatman]

Thanks for posting, that's what a forum is for. Someone may not have seen it and if they're soppy sods they might even like it ;)

Get me a bucket :puke:

2nd re-write

I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the
grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an
extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
It gets the old girl off my back and fortunately
I still had $200 for booze and hookers.

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed
each other on the sidewalk. But you didn't see me
playing Santa at the local Mall.
I cant help being a fat old coot but this is a sure
fire way to cash in on it - and perv on those mothers.

I saw you change your mind about going into the
restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front.
But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise
more money for the hurricane relief. And yes I know
that Hooters is classless, but I didn't realise that a Hurricane
was what the brochure meant by the 'big gulf blow'.

I saw you roll up your window and shake your head
when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding
behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt
out the car window. More importantly did you see
when I flicked you the bird - you *****?

I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your
children. But you didn't see me, when I took time
off from work to run toys to the homeless,
some of whom I evicted.

I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't
see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks
of Love. These days I have 12 inches.

I saw you roll your eyes at our Leather jackets
and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers
donate our old ones to those that had none.
Poor b@stards - I hope the smell might wash out eventually.

I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you
didn't see me cry as my children where born or
have their name written over and in my heart.
Later I added 'tidy your ******** room'
and 'no, you can't have $20' - in a skull
with snakes coming out of it.

I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go
somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be
with my family - after I go to the clubhouse.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our
bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were
changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
Fortunately I saw you, you and every other clown
who drives like he got a licence from a cereal box like you.

I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you
didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was
safe behind me, giving you the finger.

I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you
drove down the road. But you didn't see me squeeze
my wife's leg when she told me to take the next
turn. Pisses me off that I can't grab her t*ts from here.

I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you
didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son
could have the car to go on his date. The pussy.
Sooner he grows up the better. Little sponger
wanted the bike but there is nil chance of that happening.

I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few
minutes of time. But you didn't see me trying to
turn right. But I'm used to dipsticks like you that
can't drive so, situation normal.
Never a cop around when you need one.

I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in
the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the
road. I was in a hurry - the pub was about to close.
If you don't like the way I ride - Stay OFF the footpath.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to
pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
Unless the cops have hard evidence and then they
need to talk to my lawyer.

I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't
see me. Because I died that day you cut me off.
I've died other times too. Usually telling lame parables.

I was just a biker. A person with friends and a
family. But you didn't see me. So unless
there were fingerprints we can just forget the
whole thing.

Repost this around in hopes that people will
understand the biker community.

You also better stock up on tinfoil.

Puke away .... "A bikers moto- Why do I do it?Cause I can!!":nya::puke:

[Badjelly]

I scare little children at supermarkets!

I was at the Woolworths in Kilbirnie togging up to ride the mighty Scorpio back to work, when I saw this mother struggling to control 2 toddlers. One of them ran away towards traffic, so she put the other in her trolley and gave chase, whereupon the trolley started rolling in the other direction. I went to catch the trolley for her, but she got to it in time and seemed to have everything back under control. "I'm glad I don't have to deal with stuff like this any more," I thought, as I put my helmet on. One of the kids (the one that did a runner) was really freaking out. Then I heard what the mother was saying to her: "Don't worry, the motorbike won't hurt you." The kid was terrified of me & my bike! I walked over a couple of paces and said, "Don't worry, I won't start the bike," but seeing me approach made the kid even more terrified, so I kind of smiled at the mother (who smiled back) and walked away. I waited till they were in the shop before I started the bike, but even then I saw the kid start crying.

I wonder why she was so scared. It didn't look like it came from the mother.

Bikers are people too. People who scare little children, apparently.

[Badjelly]

Oh, and by the way, I didn't put anything in the collection plate last Sunday.

Oh, and by the way 2, yes the mother was hot.

[Headbanger]

Damned if I'm going to wash dishes for charity.

Those fuckers can got get a job like everyone else, and wash their own damn dishes.

Debatable, based on contributions to this site.

[slofox]

I don't seem to have managed to scare anybody so far..buggrit! What am I doing wrong??? Maybe the new muffler will freak a few out...

[short-circuit]

Pointless Drivel section for this tripe - Katman loves it in there.

[short-circuit]

You'd have to be a woman or gay to post that surely?

Lets do a poll on the last 1000 previous posters and get the actual statistics eh?

[Burtha]

Debatable, based on contributions to this site.

another valid point! :)

[sunhuntin]

dont worry dude... ive scared a kid as well. considering my exhaust is just above the volume of a fleas fart, im buggered if i know why the kid was holding their ears. sheesh, some people are so sensitive.

Have I missed something?

[Virago]

Large numbers of people I know have "died" in the last few days - apparently I "didn't see them".

I read the first line and thought this thread should die. What wank.

You've just given me a fantastic idea :whistle:
