[crashe]

and they got the dude......Well done.

Some HD riders that were in Hamilton were on the Westpac run today...

[Storm]

Does me heart good to hear that not everyone will look the other way. Makes me proud to be a biker

[DEATH_INC.]

Well done good stuff

[Paul in NZ]

I hope they 'held' him by standing on his nuts with hobnail boots until the Police arrived..

And that they (the Police) were not in much of a hurry.

Well done those HD Dudes and Dudettes (of which there were a lot of the nonwaving but sometimes nodding buggers on the road today)

I'm sure anyone on here would have done the same .

Good on them. I think we would all have done the same but they were John on the spot so to speak. It would be nice if they were less staunch and did give a wave from time to time. :spudwave: Mind you I do see the odd one wave and there are a few who almost wave but are afraid they may be seen waving so don't.

I have done the same, but it can be really really scary if you are confronting them alone... Having a larger group of would be a huge help. Although it's a bit scary to think back on that sort of thing and think how easily it could have been different - how you find yourself thinking things that seem very out of character. In my case, if I had grabbed my 5 D-Cell Maglite on the way out the door things would have been very different when the cops arrived.

I can't understand when people fail to take some sort of action when this sort of thing happens. It's alway good to hear of things working our right.

I would have to agree with storm, stuff like this makes me proad to be a biker
(even if they were HD riders)

When Im on my HOG I always wave at the rice burners. Most guys on harleys are no different to most other bikers. Theres a few that work fairly hard on the image. When your 110 like Scummy and me you will have a Harley as well. Cheers Toddy

I been contemplating what the scenario mighta been like. Sumdink along the lines like:

Jeff: "Hey what's that? Sounds like a young woman in distress Doris!"
Doris: "My God it is Jeff, look! That darstadly young man is assaulting that poor woman!"
Jeff: "Stay here dear. I'll get a couple of the other fullas. Hey Bill, Steve, lets help her out chaps!"
Bill: "Righto son. Come on Steve let's go!"
(all three Harley Riders rush to woman's aid, apprehending assailant and holding him down)
Jeff: "Well down guys, now hold him down real good while I contact the authorities." (pulls out latest Nokia mobile phone and voice command dials 111).
Jeff: "Righto chaps, the police are on their way."
(10 minutes later police arrive, preliminary questions asked, victim is comforted and taken home, perp taken to jail)
Jeff: "Well lads, that deserves a latté. Any of you other chaps know a good café around here that serves great lattés and has decent parking for our Harley's while we sip our drinks while dressed in our leathers looking cool?"

:spudwhat: Obviously a PT! Being a Buell rider it had better be!!

[MSTRS:Me]

That is excellent to hear. How many of us would jump in when given the opportunity? Not as many as you'd think, I'd dare say.

Actually I think a few of them are coming round, before our recent 2000km trip I decided to spread the love & wave at everybody on a bike, cruisers included. While I did get a couple of "WTF is some wanker on a farmbike waving at me for?" looks, the majority of harley pilots waved back. :spudwave:

Actualy the few HD riders I still know would of kicked the shit head into a bloody mess an not rung the cops.
I also belive it's best to half kill the fucker than ring the cops,then a lesson is really learnt.
Good on them guys all the same.

This is of course the correct procedure when dealing with scum. All I was saying was that less people than you'd think would actually get involved, which is a sad indictment on our society.
