    The noisy b*stards!

    Ive been in 3 different housing estates today ranging from working class to middle and they're everywhere.

    Are they this year's most annoying present or can you top that?

    The mini motor bikes a few years ago were fair annoying. **** off down the fields with them!

    Only one solution..Call 999 and report cases of dangerous driving. I'm sure they have a licence, are taxed and insured on the road. They've nothing to worry about ;)

    You'd want to be a special type of idiot to get your teenagers a scrambler for Christmas. Scrotes.

    At least have the decency to get a trailer with it to take little Johnny to some field or other instead of whizzing around on footpaths and public roads and potentially messing up some poor innocent's Xmas/life

    Jaysus you must lead a sheltered life. They have been appearing every Christmas for the last 4 years around Dublin. Fcuking 6.30 this morning I was woke by the bastards.

    They're usually all broke in a matter of weeks though.

    Far from a sheltered life.

    And this is the first year Ive seen and heard the b*stards. Indeed it's the first year I saw people moaning about them on social media too.

    So, yes, they are a new hinderance to many.

    Ugh I know its Christmas day but seriously go and educate yourself about the reasons why people protested against water charges. Such a crap uninformed generalisation.

    Primarily as people on the scratch were expected to pay.
    Less money for gat & scramblers for their offspring.

    None where I live and I'm in the ghetto. For some reason East Wall has always been the little bastards on scramblers Mecca in Dublin.

    A few of them around my way this morning, to add to the ones already around the area. If they continue using them like they were this morning it's a matter of time until someone is killed.

    Be thankful for the bit of peace this year. We have a green area nearby which is chewed up already, then they drag the muck up and down the road when they get tired of getting mucky.

    Of course the younger children in the area can't be let out to play due to the danger of getting a bang of one of these bikes.

    Are there any noise pollution laws in Ireland that justify getting the guards involved with these in your estate?

    Or would the guards fall over from laughing at such a complaint?

    There are several laws that justify getting AGS involved.

    Riders have to be 16 or older. Licensed and insured.
    The bike must be registered, lights etc etc etc

    There's little they can do in an i40 estate against a kid who doesn't know or care about the rules of the road. Up onto the first bit of a green and they're away.

    Helicopter is the only way.

    Gardai will not chase any young kids in my area on scramblers or quads on health and safety grounds and because there are so many of them.

    So I think what we'll have in coming weeks is a lot of neighbours having heated arguments with each other.

    I think your definition of middle class might not match that of others.

    Darwin will remove them from the gene pool shortly if they continue at this lark, but they've doubtless already spread their seed far and wlde by now :mad:
