Monkey Bike Madness

lol, I was thinking 16:30 but I’ll check with Yankee Oscar Uniform Romeo Mike India Sierra Sierra Uniform Sierra 🙂

Debrief is on, we have some extremely important items to discuss, most importantly the fact that RA is becoming quite the newsfeed for local and national news…

I only just brought myself a copy of CT with a wonderful image of monorail going straight up the middle of the major arterials, I’m getting this huge twilight zone sense of didn’t I start talking about this on Monday ?

No fear, we’ll be seeing jetpacks soon 🙂

How about placing an innocent brick in the middle of a paticularly sharp corner ?

The oldies can dodge it, but you’d get some great funniest home videos footage from everybody else 🙂

Actually their real name is Pocket bikes or mini motos; they have many different names for their abuse of accidents! Their quit safe except for the gas powers ones witch are many like real street bikes (I could care less for theme), electric is safer and less fast more control over it. It’s commonsense not to ride on roads wear cars go, and to ride were there is no traffic! Fun safe (electric) and a good way of getting to a near by store were less traffic is! Commonsense really and safety to, helmet and padding! Because of the needing of a license for some is that their mostly gas and they go way much faster (for the race trace basically)! Electric is manly slower. Commonsense really!

There’s a kid on one that rides up an down the reserve and onto the road. He bothers residents cause of the noise but the only thing that got to me was that a parent let their 12 or so year old kid ride a motor bike around at 60k’s or more without a helmet. His siblings were also without a helmet and jumping two at a time on the back of the moving bike.
I’ve seen the cops looking for them and a time later was wondering whether it was irresponsible not to dob them in cause of the helmet thing. I then got angry and decided that the best, although evil, lesson for such a kid & the parent would be an accident. As long as a poor oldie doesn’t get hit walking home…

I scared the crappers out of a couple of teenage kids one afternoon when walking with my kids. My kids were on pushbikes on the path when these little bastards come screaming up, force my kids off the path and kept going. I saw them stop about 50m up the path, so I ran full pelt up to them, yelling at them not to bloody well move.

Imagine a 6ft 2inch slightly overweight guy towering over these two kids abusing the crap out of them for riding on the path…I almost feel sorry for them when I think of the looks on thier faces now.
In the end I told them to ride on the dirt, if I see them on the path again Ill destroy the bike.

Just grab their toy and see if it floats in the lake, if it doesn’t no great loss..

Feel free to do so bonfire. Your fellow citizens will applaud your actions. The gendarmeie will most likely turn a blind eye.

Bonfire, invest in a balaclava.

i almost got cleaned up by one of these morons on teh bike opath around lake ginninderra one night. about six of the little shits were screaming around.

this is a clear case of parents not giving a shit. they would have to know, its not like they cant hear them start up and disappear.

if only i could legally drag the little bastard off his bike and give him a thrashing.

Audience participation compulsary. spitting and the throwing of projectiles…

Not only would I bet on that, I’d watch it for hours!

Drunk fat dudes on monkey bikes riding home from the pub. sounds like something that would compete with monkeys with weapons on the back of greyhounds for an illegal betting idea

Monkey bike; aka mini-bike or pocket bike. Just like a motor bike only 1/8 the size. Not really intended for the big fat boguns who seem to be riding them.

Do they make recumbent monkey bikes?

What’s a monkey bike?

he he he ‘tour de pubes’ is gold.

Just more things to dodge.

On the basis of their arhument against pocket bikes they will have to look seriously at where and how bicycles are being used. They are potential dangerous and capable of high(ish)speeds.

Furthermore I am sick of dodging the “Tour de Pubes” in the mornings and evenings.

I’d never heard Monkey bikes until Today Tonight started getting all hysterical about them. Apparently the kiddies have been taking to the roads and footpaths on them.

It seems to me the basis of the argument is about the poor quality and upkep of the pocketbikes. This is no different from any other product on the market, you get what you pay for.

They are potentially dangerous, so are pushbikes, go-karts and just about anything else you care to name. I don’t have any real solutions but I’d think that any sort of control/registration/bans will not be met well with by the public.

I forsee the Gov’t finding a way to use this craze to raise revenue somehow.
