Just over a week ago i was sitting at startbucks for a date with a chick i hadn't met before.
My baby is parked across the road in the convenient bike parks in plain view so i can marvel at her green splendor.
Over the next couple of hours yarning away i noticed the odd person taking a closer look at my bike with those "kid at christmas" eyes and of course i am proud as hell about it.
At one point 3 guys, one with frizzy blond hair have a look and say a whole lot of "holy crap thats cool" noises and then walk across the road, jump in their ute and proceed to back across the road and straight through the bike park, vaulting the scooter that was all of a foot away from my bike from the road to the pavement
My heart misses a beat and i start working out how long it would take me to club 3 guys to death with a flimsy cafe chair, at the same time wondering what this chick will think of me while i am covered in some poor fools blood...
A few seconds later the guy drives straight back into his park and the 3 get out of the car and head over to the scooter.
My heartbeat goes back to normal as i see the green beast still in the same position without a mark on her... i could have cried... and not those little weepy tears either, i am talking "seeing mum at the airport after being in a hijacked plane" tears. But i kept my cool and told the chick i was with that i was "a little tense for a moment there".
The guys stand around looking really nervous for a little bit and then one of them runs off to the ute and writes his details (assumption) on a bit of paper as his other mates pick up the scooter (which barely had a mark on it i thought) and put it back in its park. The guy puts the bit of paper in the foot tray of the scooter and they all jump in the ute and head off.
About an hour later (this chick was really good company) a kid walks over to his scooter with a confused look as its parked differently finds the bit of paper, looks his scooter over, shrugs and heads off with the same high pitched squeal and slight rubbing noise he arrived with.
SERIOUSLY who backs straight across the road into a motorbike park.... what the hell is wrong with people?
