Annoying little shits on motorbikes

[AmandaHoldensLips]

I'm talking about young lads who think they're bloody Barry Sheen with their crappy little motorbikes, zooming around, L-plates flapping. There are a few around my area who drive like idiots. One in particular who has made his bike so noisy that it rattles the windows.

I am busily scheming vengeance plans.

I’ve got a few suggestions for you but I fear that they are illegal.
You’ll just have to wait for them to be old enough to be razzing round in cars instead.

This might make you laugh a bit OP...
Busy A road last week. 3 teenagers on 3 mopeds doing wheelies and ‘no hands’ in bus lane whilst were sat in stationary traffic.
One went into a wobble (lost control) and fell off. Judging by the car horns and laughter I don’t think anyone had much sympathy as he picked his bike up and limped to the curb.

Does it not class as being a nuisance and come under ASBO stuff? A call to your local friendly police station might be a good start. If you can film it all the better.

Haha! I so feel your pain...we have quite a few around here. One who likes to zoom up the street full throttle around 7am occasionally

This is when you could do with a sniper...

You must live somewhere posh. In my area they're on off road bikes, no reg plates, certainly no L plates.
Often to be seen doing wheelies down the wrong size of a dual carriageway into oncoming traffic.
Or doing the same on footpaths in a busy park on a Sunday afternoon.

I'm thinking of staking out a nearby junction, camera at the ready. Noisy little bastards. And yes, there are a few older ones who go razzing about in their extra-noisy illegal cars. I'm not suggesting they are drug dealers but they deffo look like drug dealers

Police don't do anything about it

My mum lives in a small close and at night we hear them on the surrounding roads.

My area is more like luckynumber. Police don't do anything.

I'll never forget walking along a pedestrian bit of the South Bank and being scattered by them. Horrendous.

My local police posted a picture of two of these type of bikes which they'd actually managed to seize but it's been going on for years round here, mainly on footpaths and pavements.
We also used to have a sad car gathering in our local Tesco car park but that seems to have dwindled.
I vote for poking a stick in their wheels!

I feel your pain, we have one of these who for some reason decides to do his riding at 11pm at night just as we’re trying to go to sleep. We live rurally and it’s very flat and his exhaust is so loud that you can literally hear him for miles, at least 10 minutes of constant noise. It’s not like he’s going home from work either as he seems to turn round at the entrance to our road and go back in the direction that he came 🤷‍♀️. It’s not been so bad during winter when it’s been icy but he was back the other night 🙈.

I feel your pain. The minute the weather gets warmer all the young'uns are out on their motorbikes.

I used to work on the 12th floor of a big office block, the office was huge open plan, lots of phones ringing and people talking the phone, it was a busy noisy office.

We used to get a young woman on her moped stop at the traffic lights outside next to the building, her exhaust was that loud it could be heard over conversations and sometimes drown out phone conversations it was that bloody loud. And you could hear her for miles as she rode off on it.

She must have been reported as we never heard it again but did see her on her now quiet moped.

I think every town has them. Police don’t seem to do anything about them where I live.

The last few months I’ve heard a lot of very loud exhausts from zipped up cars going up and down the roads at night. Don’t know if it’s the twats with the motorbike that have upgraded.

They seem to be a seasonal thing, handily when the daffodils are out.
A few of them will get terminated with extreme prejudice by telegraph poles and the like. Their mates tie a few daffodils to the telegraph pole/lamppost by way of a memorial.
When there have been a handful, sense seems to percolate into their mates and they give their bikes up.

Sadly, they then move onto 4 wheel transport . . . .

It's good to know that sometimes these people stop.

I live on a busy road and sometimes think the noise would seem even louder on a quiet road.

We keep getting the little darling who doesn’t seem to know that a moped doesn’t count as a bicycle when there’s no road running parallel to the cycle lane. As such he revs the overgrown hairdryer on wheels through the underpass at speed, narrowly avoiding pedestrians and people on a actual bicycle.

It only stops when they pebble dash their skin with road gravel.

😂😂

I feel for you, I hope they get bored soon for your sake.

A length of washing line tied to a tree\gatepost\electric fence on the other side of the road ready to pull tight as they go past maybe? Alas I fear it might be a little bit illegal, or at least the electricity bit. But can help release the pent up feelings of annoyance etc thinking about the possibility of vengeance.

Sorry I can't be of any practical help, so many people don't think of the negative impact they have on others.

There was a diesel “spill” on a well used corner near me. That same evening six riders ended up needing hospital care.

The police seized 5 bikes as well.

No, it wasn’t me who spilt the diesel.

I just realised how hypocritical I am because we have a massive group of vintage scooter riders in our area who meet up (outside of lockdown times), but I really love them. It's such an impressive sight but they are so loud but the smell of real petrol is lovely!
It's just the chavmobiles I can't stand

The washing-line-across-the-road tactic is a bit illegal apparently. Although I have previously done it with sellotape in a rural situation many years ago. Unfortunately a granny walked into it with her shitzu. It was blamed on local school kids.

UPDATE: brilliant idea. I have decided to carry a tube of superglue and squirt it into the locks of razzy drug dealer cars and annoying little fuckers illegal mopeds.

This could really work. I will report back. excited
