Idiots on scooters...scurge of metropolitan roads

I was going up Gayhurst Rd(CHCH) today in a cage taking my girls home.
Anyway right along the road from start to finish I was following 2 idiots on scooters. "What were they doing?" so you ask...well they were first of all putting their feet up above the handle bars, they were bouncing up and down on their bikes, they were weaving all over the road, they were standing up a lot (not a biggie), they were taking up the whole lane AND only doing 40, and worst of all I saw one of them putting BOTH feet down on the ground at 40KPM...Surely if these guys wanna do stupid things they can go and find a quiet carpark.My kids were even saying that they are idiots...

Am I just getting old and bitchy or are the young folk more stupid today????

Yeah fair enough, but my way of thinking is if they want to be silly buggers at least do it in an empty carpark...not all drivers are as patient as me and if them cunts fell off they coulda ended up as someones bonnet ornament...

Like it or not youth combined with 2 wheels invaribly ends in pain somewhere along the line,pain = learning,well hopefully.Remember my old man telling me if you ride hard and make it to 40 you have probably learnt something through your mistakes and have a better than average chance of riding a long time,he did add with a chuckle that or your not riding hard enough.

looking back a bit silly to tell that to a pimply faced hopeful with a 500/4.

Can't fix stupid, can't cure crazy.

yup for sure future road kill and no wonder cage drivers get pissed off with bikers with shit like that on the road, i sure wouldnt like a bumper sticker that bleeds maybe better to just turn off and take the long road and cool down there time will come just make sure your not behind them to catch the shit. or try 555 ??
