The latest craze amongst kids......captured half an hour ago on the way home.
They are an accident waiting to happen, good job the car that went through on amber and the youth on the bike didn't come into contact

As long as it's not under your wheels he goes. Some just never learn till it's too late.

The dickus headus species is alive & well, There seems to be no shortage of these Darwinism contenders wherever you look

The influence from the East

The next is with the motor offroad bikes.

Had just pulled onto the drive earlier his evening when we had four off them come down the centre of the road, on footpath off footpaths with cars having to stop/pullover to avoid them.

Years ago in my motorcycling days (Honda V4 750) I was going into town to get something at the shops. There were kids playing chicken, dancing around in the road, cars slamming their brakes on etc. Heading home one little herbert saw me coming and started dancing around in the road . . . . I dropped down to 2nd gear and cracked the throttle open! He very rapidly decided playing chicken wasn't a good idea any more.

Well I'm afraid I have got to a certain age and attitude with it, people who pull stunts like that are playing Russian roulette and when the gun finally goes bang I have no sympathy, they can kill themselves as long as they don't do any harm to anyone else, I won't shed any tears.

Agreed. To be honest when it does happen they will be doing the majority of people a favour by removing themselves from the gene pool.

Daily event now in Bradford, they think they are sooo cooool.

Couple of days ago had one doing wheelies 10.00 ish at night, no lights dressed all in black just visible going down a hill in the centre of a dual carriageway. Idiot was wobbling all over the place and nearly fell off but sadly didn't. After following the dick for a good few hundred yards he pulled in to ride no hands in the cycle lane. I went past blowing horn and a police van travelling the opposite way put on lights and horns did a U turn in a gap and got the knob. He was about 18 years old, most are 13/17 year olds pre motorcycle.

They move on round here to mopeds and scooters and do the same thing. Last week in a cue waiting at a set of pelican lights another one on a scooter came up the outside pulling a wheelie looking at the car drivers with that look of look at me I'm great on his smug face. Went over the red light just missing a child crossing. The white van driver at the head of the cue pulled away and gave him one big scare swerving his van into his path and nearly taking him out. Now that I don't condone but have great sympathy at the drivers frustrations.

I wonder how many of them need to be killed or badly injured to stop them, trouble is they think they are invulnerable and never seem to come off.
