    I did have some arsehole in a '97 Opel Corsa make gestures at me in his rear view mirror yesterday evening... after which he look a right slip road (I was going straight) but then swerved his car toward my bike as if trying to give me a scare.

    I just felt sad for him.

    This nutball is back behind the wheel again and is back on the road.
    He was seen out in the car last week driving all over the place and the gardai have yet again been informed.

    Will the gardai take him off the road if and when he kills a biker or another road user?
    Does it take a death to get gardai to act and get this muppet off the road for good?

    About time too, they need to have a chat as to why he feels this way towards bikers and maybe take him out...

    I despair of this fcukin' country sometimes.

    Actually, I despair of this fcukin' country quite often :(

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    As usual, Bikers are second class citizens, especially when helping us means a member of the Gardai might have to get off his fat arse and actually do some policing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    Hope he has a shotgun!!! Some major Tom and Jerry ****e gonna start....lmao

    But in all seriousness its a long time coming and a fatality is not far off at this rate. Guards should accompany the group tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 40,107 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Trying to reason with or threaten someone like that is, at best, a waste of time, at worst putting yourself at serious physical or legal risk.

    Maybe, but like the chinese, when we put our helmets on we all look the same....;):)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    So we need to get a handicapped biker up there to sort him and even out the headlines.....pmsl


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭stewygriffin

    WARNING TO MOTORCYCLISTS USING WICKLOW GAP
    There have been a number of reports during the week of motorcyclists being deliberately targeted by a silver car. This includes the silver car deliberately pulling out in front of them and swerving in and out around motorcyclists to prevent them overtaking.
    The main area for this activity has been the Wicklow Gap road (R756) between Laragh and Hollywood.
    Report any such activity to Gardai.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Anyone got an SUV and not much to do tomorrow....;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,618 ✭✭✭erica74


    What the fucking hell?! Is this serious?

    I just read through the thread. I'm assuming he does not have a licence, tax or insurance due to his mental health problems but how does he have access to a car? The man clearly has severe mental health issues, how come his family or the state have not intervened to have him hospitalised indefinitely? (obviously, this is a rhetorical question)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    Bleedin bikers would drive anyone mad.....

    If it's the same individual of who I think it is . He has been hospitalized and had cars taken off him . I think he s even laid down in front of cars and what not

    Blame should be on the family for allowing him access to a car. They clearly don't give a sh*t.

    Because like your username, fools keep repeating it.

    Starting a social media witch hunt is the easiest thing to do, but try stop one!.

    And the more I use social media the better I understand why there's a warning on these things..

    But hey don't let me stop someone putting down their crayon's long enough to believe this crap, and share it.

    Wonda, The Vengaboys are a secret pleasure of mine lol.. I worked on the door of a nightclub in Leixlip when that song was in the clubs.

    It also reminds me of different holidays with the kids in Santa Ponsa and other Majorcan sorts, thanks :)
