Fucking shocking. Primal Scream treated Denise Johnson like shit and then did the same to Martin Duffy

Dreadful. Utter arseholes.

Shit music. Shit people. 👎

It's bad enough how the music business rips off artists, even worse that somany of them try to short change each other. See also:

It's amazing how like-minded people from totally different worlds gravitate towards each other...

Having worked the last 8 years in music royalties unsurprisingly I can confirm that there are many many cunts in the industry.

But ‘Bobby Gillespie took a shit while reading my copy of his book’ must have an e-bid-bay premium shirley

Were there any pages missing?

Are there any pages stuck together?

What kind of animal takes a shit in a pub?

Lad on ebike hits ambulance in getaway from police . Allegedly

Lots happening on this page, you can’t beat a McShit which would also seem to be a good description of Mr Gillespie. Meanwhile the ebike getaway crash is the second such incident in the past month, the story that really grabbed me today though is the smog in NY and Philly

another tragic waste of a young life.
I wonder if this was an e-bike as in e-assist, or another high powered electric motorbike as in the other case.

looks pretty chunky

I don't want to speculate on what happened last night that led to another tragic loss of a young life but I did witness someone almost wipe out on am unrestricted e-bike last week. It must have been doing 30mph and it struck me how little bike handling skills they had and I think that may contribute to more accidents in the future.

I worry that e bikes and particularly ones that have been delimiter may cause bikes to end up being registered.

difficult to tell from the photo above, but judging by the chunky tyre and the Moto style foot peg, this could be a surron or similar electric dirt bike.

these are electric motorbikes, they are legal if registered, but the same rules apply as with a motorbike.

I think the mislabeling of these things as e-bikes just adds to the anti cycling rhetoric.

I bet a lot of these kids have no prior experience of riding something this powerful.
why is it so easy to buy these things?
it's as if because it's an 'e-bike' that it's a harmless toy, when it's the same as sticking a kid on a 125cc motorbike with no training.
total madness.

There's a convenient photo of three balaclavaed youths on similar e-motos at the incident site on my newsfeed.

Don't you need a CBT to ride a Surron type bike?
Invariably ridden by scallywags.

Some parents probably don't appreciate the skill needed to ride these machines at the speeds they go. From memory I think the bike involved in the Cardiff crash was a birthday present for one of the boys.

Are these now more common than scramblers?

The kids / some scumbag adults racing in the park here ride around on those and yes, people died as well. Seen people on these with no helmet on the road doing 30 :(

We know where some live but police can't catch them unless they see them on the bike. As owning one isn't illegal. Same is going happen with these things I fear...
