Good deed of the day

[Bender]

Went to put fuel in van, a regular expensive thing, usually uneventful.

 

Noticed a young lady with a nice honda sitting against the wall next to the bike, bit odd maybe she's just having a breather, as I walked past looked like she was trying to put the key in the bollard  

 

First thought was looney everything ok I asked, she had somehow bent the ignition key and was waiting to be rescued, AHH gimme that, bit of a go with 2 pairs of pliers followed by some reworking with a hammer and some silicone spray and all was good.

 

She was very pleasant and just a nice person, rarity these days.

On Thursday night a local lad had his CBR 600 stolen from outside his house. He had passed his test 2 day previous. Just bought the bike…. Yes it wasn’t locked … it was only 11pm and he was going to lock it before he went to bed …

3 Teenage Yorkshire Scum … all dressed in black .. as usual .. wheeled it away … seen on cameras 2 miles away later still being pushed ..

Owner has been around every house with cctv in the area asking if it could be tracked …

Heartbroken guy ..

 

I’ve got an Mot’d CBR 600 F sat around doing nothing , not been ridden for 12 months  … I gave him a call, offered my bike as a long term loan until he got sorted out …He thanked me .. lots … but when he saw the pictures…. He offered more than the bike owed me …. It’s his now…

 

But … there’s an awful lot of us bikers within 2 miles of his house, some serious back patch club members … allegedly …… those 3 scrotes are on borrowed time … It would be best for everyone if the bike was just found parked up at the local shopping precinct in the morning …

Top bloke @Trooper74 seriously good of you to look out for that lad.

It'll give him faith in biking, when he really needs it.

With apologies to Groucho Marx - I'd never join any club that would have me as a member.

I see. Those really rough characters with tattoos and usually Harley Davidsons.

We kind of get them round here too.  But the difference is, although at the weekend they all pull Willie Nelson look-a-like stunts, they're all dentists and accountants and lawyers.

The only time they get surly is when they realise they've run out of Rizlas and all the Tabacs are closed on a Sunday afternoon.

Come Monday they'll go on a rampage and overcharge their clients by five percent or give them a vicious tooth cleaning.

No .. We have the other ones …. The Brothers, the business men, the Engineers… and often friends..

Ooh, steady on !  The Cyclist Touring Club is being examined because a certain segment of society doesn't think it's multicultural enough.  There are apparently no facilities for prayers on the rides and they are overwhelmingly old WHITE men who are aligned with the Cult of the Corpse. This is true and a lot of them are po-faced vegan sods, but they wouldn't come away with a remark like that.

Even if it's true...

[S-Westerly]

Can't recollect too many rides where prayers were an integral part of them. Some exceptions such:

Christ on a crutch what are you doing?

Jesus Christ!

For God's sake are you blind?

That sort of thing.

There's an old joke about a Middle Eastern bus driver who dies and goes to heaven. At the pearly gates he is whisked to the front of the line, past a waiting clergyman who makes his indignance known to St. Peter.

The response comes, "well, in your sermons everyone was snoozing and daydreaming about their Sunday lunch, whereas on this man's bus EVERYONE was praying!"
