Biker heroes

[madbikeboy]

Last night, somewhere on Beach Road in the bays (being deliberately vague here for what should be obvious reason - I'm tired of those Jehovah's Witnesses door knocking), we were sitting chatting at home, when all of a sudden a loud crash, bang, smack comes from the road.

We raced outside to see a Subaru Legacy unwedging itself from the traffic island, and then drive off. We figured it was a boy racer, and so we laughed, deep belly laughs at his expense.

About 10 minutes later, we hear a car, obviously sans tire (the sound of rim on road is distinctive), and we look out to see a flash of the same Subaru Legacy...

About 5 minutes after that, suddenly, there are no less than 7 cops cars across at the beach, cornering the legacy, which had driven itself off the road.


This has a point.


It turns out the driver was a 60 year old Fucktard who was stupidly (meaning couldn't walk) drunk. A biker had seen all this happen, and raced over and grabbed the keys, forced the Fucktard out of the car - some bystanders had called the police - the biker, obviously worried that he had overstepped the mark by removing said FuckTard forcefully, left them all to it.


I just wanted to say to the biker - thank you; that's our stretch of road, where our friends and families play and walk, and where we walk through 10 times a day to walk the dogs - and if it had of been me, I wouldn't have been able to not break his legs.

Well done Fella.

Good on the biker it is just a shame that in today's society he/she is worried that by doing the right thing they will be penalised.

[tigertim20]

I was driving a company vehicle up to whangarei a cupla years back (coming from New Plymouth so obviously left quite early as I was doing the 16hr round trip in 1 day). I stopped to gas up in Otarahaunga at roughly 4-5am and as I did a shitty old commodore (in true Otarahaunga style) came flying up behind to me. The commodores pilot opens the door and attempts to get out of the vehicle, falling flat on his ass before turning to me and saying "what the f**k are you looking at dick". I pretended I didn't hear him and finished filling my wagon, only to get more grief "Oi, something wrong wif your f**ken ears!". As I was walking back outside after paying this guy walks past me on his way inside, I noticed he smelled alot like aunt Cheryl's xmas trifle with a little more than a nip of sherry in it. And as I walk around the commodore (door still wide open) i noticed the keys still hanging from the ignition. So if someone in Otarahaunga is wondering where their keys ever got to after that epic night on the piss a cupla years back, they are in a ditch somewhere near Pirongia, asshole.

Good one, madbikeboy. Though it's interesting that when you thought the driver was a boy racer, you laughed at it, but when you learned it was a drunk middle-aged guy you wanted to break his legs. (I'd say elderly, but I'm approaching 60 myself.) Either way, people who drive cars into traffic islands are likely to endanger others as well as themselves.

A pedant you wear round your neck, a pedantrist fondles little children:rolleyes:

True, but boyracers hit that island about once per month, normally the lowered cars get beached. They go home after getting towed off and cry as they have to fork out repair bills. This guy didn't get beached, and instead of stopping around the corner (the other modus operandi), this drunken asshole decided to drive by again, thankfully not harming anyone on the way through.

I've lost family to drunk drivers. They don't get the message. The one or two drunk boy racers that I've pulled out of cars on this corner have welcomed the police arriving to arrest them. I'm not ageist, I just have a special place in the pit of my soul for drunk drivers.

If it were up to me, the first offence for drunk driving would be loss of licence, and the car crushed... I don't see a difference between walking around taking random shots at people with a Winchester pump action with your eyes closed, and driving home drunk. The net result is the same thing.

Read it again - only one 'n' in it.
Pedantrist.

Ah, no - A pendant you wear around your neck, a paedophile (pedophile if your Mrkn) molests children.

A pedantrist is summat else.:shifty:

Hmmm, so if the biker did such a grand job why did the car hit the sign and then had to be forced off the road by the police? I mean, didn't he grab the keys...?

Which part did I miss?

Someone did something that they felt may have been overstepping the limits of "good behaviour" and then fled the scene and what he tried to prevent in the first place happened anyway... Is that it? Good on the man for giving it a go, but failing miserably perhaps even riling up the would-be drunk-driver in the process?

Despite scoring an embarrassing own goal by misspelling Pedant, I still say there is still no such word as Pedantrist...

You are a Pedant (like me, but with better spelling).

"Pedantrist" is a word used as bait for pedants.







:doh:

[Badjelly]

"Pedantrist" is a word used as bait for pedants.

Strictly speaking, it's a non-word used as bait for pedants.

:doh: :doh:

Or a protologism (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/protologism).

Okay, the cops cornered the car, well after the horse had bolted. I wrote this when I was tired, so excuse the fucking confusing BS that I pass off as English.

The biker grabbed the keys and guy when he first came to a halt on his second pass - then the cops turned up and boxed the car in, normal procedure, stop the guy driving away. But the biker had already sorted things out... And then legged it.

What was the biker riding?

I see, so the biker got there after his second pass by your house. Now I'm on the same page as you, good on him. He should have stayed there though...

I just wasn't clear if the biker had tried, and failed, to stop the drunk driver from driving in the first place before he even got to your house, is all.
