Nosey people!

**Spyke** · 21st April 2007, 21:38

Why are there so many people that like to stick their noses in other peoples businesses.

its seems in the last five years people have got really bad at it.

the last two days i took my bucket bike

(not road legal) up my street and back again (no cars down our street at midday on a weekday). because i have no other bike and i was having withdrawl symptoms from the racing on sunday.

the first day a guy at the end of the street (not my nextdoor neighbor) came out and gave me the evils (scary stuff wish i had tints), then the next day he followed me home in his cage and and gave me a blasting about the fines i would get and about how i was an idiot for riding without wof and reg (man only going up and down our street), then said he would call the cops if i did it agian. (could be looking out for me or just hates bikes)

i knew if i was caught by cops they would give me a $400 fine for no rego and warrent, but only if they caught me but now hes on their side ive got no choice but to do nothing.

why do people have to be so pc and dob people in for reasons not worth while, i mean yes if i was flying down the street at 200 with no helmet on, but i would not be here to write the post anyway.

and whats it to him if my bike doesn't have a warrent, its not like im taking it out for a road trip.

so i put it to you guys why do people have to be nosy and ruin peoples fun???

EDIT: just to let people know this is the first thing i have ever done that has annoyed anyone in our street.

Cos they're old. Old people always want to stop young people having fun. It's sort of like people are born with a certain amount of fun, and when they've used it all up they go through a sort of "fun menopause" and get all dry and withered and crabby and miserable.

The little known secret is that the body's store of fun is replenished by bike riding. Though I must admit it doesn't seem to wrok in all cases.

I guess that riding on a public road without insurance makes it everyone's problem?

**Ixion** · 21st April 2007, 21:46

He is still covered by ACC as are any third parties. I ride every day on the roads without insurance.

i can see where your coming from but down our street theres hardly any cars to worry about.

**Spyke** · 21st April 2007, 21:51

i'm sure the time he followed me home he was waiting at the window for me.

the funny thing is, is that when dad rode it down the road today he did nothing.

**rudolph** · 21st April 2007, 22:09

Some slut in her car at the lights saw I had no REG or WOF and she sed she was going to ring the cops right away, I let fly with all the @#()@$)*@)(*$ in the world and she went through the red light to get away. Hhahaha fucking dum bitch

**Spyke** · 21st April 2007, 22:14

in my mind i was thinking of using a few coarse words to say then backed off when i realised he knows where i live now.

but i think when i get a road legal bike i will sit out by his house revving me bike till hes annoyed to my satisfaction.

**rudolph** · 21st April 2007, 22:18

Rip down his letter box and do that every time he gets a new one

You seem to provoke this reaction in a few people Mark, I recall a sunny Thames day and a neighbor of mine saying much the same thing.

I support the guy giving you a blast, your the one using a race bike twice in two days on a neighbourhood street. I guess if you missed hunting for a while youd shoot off some 12 gauge off to. Put it on a trailer and take it to the track, industrial area or to a road where you cant accidently run down someones child or piss people off who you have to live with. (says he who was always testing his racebike on the open road when he was younger and stupider). All your doing is giving bike riders a bad name, and turning your neighbours against you.

This guy might seem like a big hassle to you, but hes probably also the neighbour who notices when suspicious people case the road looking for bikes to nick, actually looks down the road when someone yells, screams or an alarm goes off. And would probably help you out if you were in trouble. He cares enough to be proactive when he sees something wrong, more guys like him would probably make this country safer for all.

Dont shit where you eat,and certainly dont shit there twice!

Actually, good advice!
Try a little bit of understanding and sucking up, he might be the guy that stops people from stealing your bike in future.
Of course he could also be the miserable dried wanker that Ixion suggested.
