Monkey Bike Madness

| johnboy

Those unfortunate enough not to have mothers of their own must take some comfort from the Chief Minister’s efforts to fill this role for the whole community. His latest exhortation to metaphorically put a jumper on and eat more fruit and veg is in the Canberra Times.

The problem it seems is Monkey Bikes. The Chief Minister gives every impression of having uncovered this menace aided only by his heroic Office of Fair Trading. So it’s worth pointing out that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Federal Treasurer, Chris Pearce, was banging on about this last Tuesday with remarkably similar language.

Now I’m an inhuman heartless bastard. Many people told me that just last night. So I think this is an opportunity in danger of being missed.

Monkey Bikes are so obviously insanely dangerous that any parent who would let their children get on one and ride it on the road deserves to lose their children.

People smart enough to figure out birth control are allready being consigned to the dustbin of history by the implacable hand of demographics, and monkey bikes are a rare opportunity to level the playing field.

I call for free monkey bikes for any parent who wants to give their children one, and let nature take its course.

kittle isnt my name it is the name of my mini moto racing gang hince kittleracing

lol u dont no wat kittle is do u?

u.d.a ? w.t.f. ?

I’ll up your u.d.a. with A.R.M.Y. I killed people for a living. At the moment it sounds like you are holding up the evolutionary process and need to be identified as the weakest link.

When it comes to killing people, please be advised that my brother is currently one up on me, and we are extremely competitive.

But then again this is just words..

I don’t know who you are at all do I ?

Oops, forgot to mention to you that I spent the last few years as a spook didn’t I ? Mr Kittleracing@aol.com with an IP of IP: 195.93.21.8

Wanna be careful, somebody might come and track you down mr face. I’d hate for this information to be released to the Campbell College Teachers room.

Oops, is that an envelope with some printing going into it ? Oh dear!

I’m sure the teaching staff at your college, looking at the 14yo demographic who can’t spell and have a bit of a chip on their shoulder would be able to identify your style of writing pretty quickly.

Hmm then a quick google of kittle racing comes up with some interesting information as well doesn’t it ?

Are you sure you’re anonymous ?

I’d hate for anybody to be making blind accusations here, because as I said, I’m one down at the moment.

simple look at ur self

and btw my dad is in the fucking u.d.a. ill have ur fuck kicked in just by lookin at u u wood b sshittin ur self dont act the hard man when ur mr fuckin bloby

yeah like fuck u r ur probliy a fat perv and u only use foums while ur porn is downloadin

I’ll comment on his educational level if he pops up again. That was offensive…

ufuckface, I am a 30yo who has just left the Army after 15 years of kicking and punching the shit out of anything in my way. I am highly tuned, extremely fit, and extremely resourceful. I have been taught how to dirty fight by champions, who then went on to teach me akido.

Quite frankly I don’t even think I’d pause to consider you as a threat before I wiped you out. Please refrain from your empty threats to people you don’t know.

And BTW, I’ll call my dad won’t work, cause I don’t forsee I’ll have much difficulty with him either.

your a bunch of num nuts ur have to b like 40 and ur balls havent drop yet i am 14 i ahve a mini moto and they r the fucking ticket u need to get 1 ur selfs right and u wont complain they r the doogs ballax so shut ur fuckin faces or ill come round and kick ur facs in ur bunch of cunts

“ride it like u stole it”

cya fuck faces

Aight people I am from Canberra and know how many of you will feel, but I have to say that I do have one this is a Midsize not a pocket bike they a almost twice the size and can be seen by cars and every time I ride I wear a helmet and protection I have made mods to the bike so it is quite and if I have to ride on a path way I would nicely ride around them, if I have to go up a street I would ride at 5kph at the side so cars can see and go past safely. It is just some kids that don’t give a crap and ride WOT(wide open throttle) with no protection these kids should get banned or something, the ones who wear helmets and ride safely and take care should be left alone.

Also at Giralang there was this little boy he was brat properly like 5ft and about 12ish year old screaming like a little girl with his little pocket bike riding carelessly in the middle of the road I felt that I had to do something so I ran over and stopped the little punk and went of at him he started tearing so I told him to come with me and I spoke with his parents, now he doesn’t ride at all and everyone is happy

I have to say that when kids ride on Lake GInindara it is fine with me as long as they ride slow and let people walk by safely

I hope that might help you in someway

Thanks

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.
