Hi all,
So this weekend I was almost lynched on my road (push bike, sorry!) bike by 3 scrotes on dirt bikes. Now, I'm certainly not trying to tarnish the rep of genuine mx guys etc. It's a real problem here in Manchester, and across the UK. The 3 lads slowed right down beside me as I was blowing out my arse on the way home shouting at each other and pointing at me and my bike. I backed off and they then wheelied off as they do. About 5 minutes later they were part of a bigger group including the standard issue quad. I pulled off the road as they flew by. Now, they could have just been intimidating me, but it was a pretty uncomfortable few minutes.
Are most of these riders just out to wheelie the streets for a laugh, or is there more sinister things going on? Some of the bikes are seriously high end, which leads me to believe they are most likely stolen as I'm sure someone with the latest KTM woudn't be using it to wheelie down the main roads.
Thoughts? Sorry if this isn't maybe in the right forum section...
