Now now, lets not get stuck into the poor guy.
Still, it's a hell of a way to cement a relationship with the neighbours...

It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

Definitely one of those "funny later, but not at the time" moments!
We'd had our concrete driveway (all 400 sq m of it) finished a week when this bloody huge waste management truck drove up it. I ran out and was screaming at him to get his fucking truck off my barely hardened driveway - never seen anyone back down a 45 degree angle driveway so fast! Turns out the previous owners hadn't bothered to let them know they had moved out. It was okay to drive on, just not anything heavy, so we hadn't bothered shutting the gate. Thankfully it didn't crack it or he would have been up for the $21,000 it cost us!
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
Wankers... get them to pay to have the bike and gear groomed or go and visit OSH about the unsafe worksite.
Thanks for sharing your story with us, Steam. One of the all-time best "offs" I've ever read about! Glad you are okay and hope the bike and gear suffer no lasting damage, either.
I had a concete driveway laid a month ago and a pussycat walked on it while it was wet....I was PISSED!!!!
sorta puts my problems in perspective doesnt it.![]()

the feekers should have had some tape up to block off the driveway, the dirty prickbags
There's a busker (sort of) that used to park up at some local shops (he might still do it, I dunno), but his thing was to wear this suit that looks completely cemented, with a mask/wig/helmet to go with it, aswell has a trail bike also completely covered. He'd just stand there completely still until someone put money in his bucket, then he'd move sort of like a statue and freeze up again. Apparently he rode on the road like that.. I never saw him come or go though.
Seriously though, there must be some sort of OSH issue with not having the wet concret marked off or whatever, especially since it resulted in your bike landing on top of you. I wouldn't care the slightest bit about their driveway if I were you!
