Twats on mopeds

They can't read the road, ride too close to cyclists, fail to think that others may act unexpectedly and therefore take silly risks and risk injuring people as a result and, worst of all, FUCKING GROUP TOGETHER AT THE FRONT OF LIGHTS IN OUR BOXES OR EVEN WORSE ACTUALLY GO IN FRONT OF STOP LINES WHEN THERE ARE NO BOXES.

I have taken to pushing through and literally putting my bike in front of them.

I have alot of respect for the large proporation of motorcyclists, because most know how to ride. But these dicks on mopeds are complete twats.

Another post.
Another sweeping generalisation.
ffs.

popcorn for breakfast... with my reputation..

Hippy don't edit to appear nicer, i saw that!

There is no generalisation. I specifically refer to 'twats' on 'moped's.

Therefore, the post applies only to the twattish ones.

moped drivers.. too early for me to digest that.
Yes you are correct, that would be like sweeping Foxton mini drivers in with normal car drivers.
Moped drivers are boys not man enough for a motorbike and too weak to pedal. they are the very essence of FAIL on our roads.
So much so they actually race push bikes through town... they have an engine yet still bask in the glory of beating a man on a bike without an engine.

^ no john.. put him on a moped!

I hates mopeds.
They smell fecking orrible, dont have the pace to piss off quick enough, and wake the kids at night (grrrr).

carry on ;)

You shouldn't really be taking your kids on moped rides at night, Smallfurry. Health and safety, and all that...

Brilliant, I just read out that sentence to people at work!

I thought it was funnier actually but you're right. Why change.

I call bullshit.

"But these dicks on mopeds are complete twats."

Scooters are good for drafting. Especially the ones that play ball, check their mirrors and let you sit there for ages.

The irony is that Mopeds (anything up to and under 49cc) and Scooters (50cc to 125cc) are classified as bicycles for taxation purposes.....

Please - ensure that it is a moped rider you are berating, as scooterists are a different breed, and are more betterer as people

Can we change the title of this thread to 'twats on the internet' then merge all of Knoydart's lame threads into it?

That's a lovely idea.

scooterists.. i never knew such a breed existed. this is bad! how do they compare to mopedists?

Shit!

i don't think i have the energy to hate any more. Jordon has pushed me over the hate edge when i went to get eggs, then along came the mopedists and i haven't even had coffee

Scooterists ride Lambrettas or Vespas, normally while wearing a green parka.

......with tinsel on the front

I was involved in an altercation yesterday with a city gent on a moped. He avoided rear-ending me by such a slim margin his jacket ruffled the hairs on my arm, so naturally I'd muttered under my breath, "Stupid cunt" or something mild like that. This caused the fellow to brake hard and me to have to take evasive action. At which point the gentleman starts ranting and raving about how it is his lane, and I shouldn't be there (on the right of traffic), and blah, blah, blah. I was taken aback, agog, aghast. Such behaviour should never be seen on the road and I must say, I told him so too. Then I left him for dust. Silly little man.

And as pointed out, some of the two strokes are foul and terrrible and it seems the designers made them so the exhaust heads directly toward the cyclists mouth.

Wot no face killing?

Afraid not.

Though it was extremely tempting to rattle his helmet around and leave his brain all shaken and mushed.

I had an oncoming 'kiddie-on-moped' cross to my side of the road, to stop just infront of me, to have a chat some mates on the path.
Thing is, it was right around the time of the infamous 'Lambo thread' *. Part of my brain started trying to work out how much I would need to lean, in order to survive a accidental-on-purpose glancing collision.

(*note to self. Reaccess peers)

I think we should follow Skullys example and try to understand people rather than swearing at them.

We should maybe try to analyse why they are behaving as they are- what sort of questions should we ask?

We need to lead them to an understanding of what they have done wrong.

Maybe some gentle analytical questions to establish if they have had a bad day, have low blood sugar, or genuinely are so stupid that they should not be allowed to control a food blender let alond a motor vehicle?
