    Lets not over sell the incident either, he bumped into your back tyre. Rude? Yes. Lethal dangerous? Hmmm.

    I'm not picking on you, more bums on bikes the better, I would just rather people tried to put things into context a bit.
    As long as it is Drew's context that is.

    You'd rather share the road with a scooter rider who rear ends people?
    That's my bad, was talkin about the G/F. Steep hill? Pull away down it.

    FWIW the G/F is learning to pop wheelies now. I'm afraid to watch

    I turn around to look at him (aka stab him) and what do I see, but a guy in an open face helmet that has obviously been dropped, a T shirt, gym shorts and jandels. No gloves at all.
    Between his feet he had a GIANT gym bag. Much wider than the scooter. So he had no where to put his feet on the scooter. I didn't get to see what he was doing with his feet but I can only imagine he was just dragging them along, jandels and all.

    I hope darwins law catches up to him (not ACTUALLY but ya know.). It's people like him that make car drivers think that we're all like that.

    /Rant.

    Can we please introduce a stupidity tax? It's people like him that make the motorbike acc levies so high, because they fall off and fuck their whole body up.

    That really, really limits your choices then.

    I was thinking you may have been parked. It always pays to think how your going to get your bike out of a spot before you put it in IYKWIM. On a steep hill with awkward footing riding down it is sometimes easier than man handling the bike to ride up it. Same with parking on a down hill towards the kerb, it's embarrassing straining every muscle to haul the bike backwards out of the parking spot & having your boot slip away underneath you.

    I guess your doing just tickety boo.
