Christophe' Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thought i'd start this topic off as a way of explaining what happened to me on New years day!Riding home from the centre of Salisbury on New years day. Merrily freewheeling at around 8mph.A tramps/winos dog suddenly jumped up, barked and ran towards me. I naturaly thought it was goingfor me and swerved out of the way. The only problem was it was going for another dog wich was being walked on a lead by its owners. The loose terrier then tried to run around the front of my wheel.It hadnt judged my speed and had the red mist for the other dog. It tried to run through my front wheel.This ended up in a hideous entanglement and nasty snapping noises .The dog was so messed up in my wheel, it couldnt get out. Someone had to pull it out. The dog convulsingall the time this is happening. Luckily I had only broken the dogs leg, ( it could have been worse if i hadnt of braked/dismounted).The winoswere unusuly calm about the whole thing. After a bit of shock I left the scene having agreed that I was riding on the sidewalk and the dog wasnt on a lead.Still got some dog hairs in my spoke junctions Wheel is still straight and in one peice.So, what other weird/wonderful stories have YOU got to add? (remember whilst riding)Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomR Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'd been out riding with my old BMX mates and we were sitting by a verge having a drink, my back wheel hanging slightly over the path. Next thing i know i suddenly go flying, "WTF!?" i thought, as i turned round there was some real pissed old paddy guy rambling on about bikes on the path being in the way. Anyway we followed him home for a laugh, he was weaving all over the place, finally got home and his wife went MENTAL at him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 riding with tom in waterlooville, doing some gap in a car park. this woman walks round the corner and starts shouting at herself saying, "i can't deal with this pressure, i can see myself going home and slashing my wrists" naturally me and tom were totally shocked about what we had heard. It actually really scared me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Ive stopped to go in tesco's and get a drink/donuts. Stood out side eating them and it starts to rain, so me and Alex move under shelter and this guy selling the big issue starts having a go at me. Ending up in him getting in my face, saying that im getting aggressive, he stood in bigger shits then me(im about 6ft 4"). After informing him, that he should open his mouth when speaking, aggressive sounded like arrested, as i cant under stand retard. I asked him how much job satisfication he got out of his job......Ohh and apprently im not aloud to stand on the edge of the path..... but he is.

MattB Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) When me and my friends were in southend one day were riding by the police station. Well anyway this guys are there and there like cleaning up the floor and they got hi-vis jackets on. So as you do we took no notice and carried on. Well about 5 mins later we hear a load of noise so turned around and all these supposedly workman are shouting "undercover cops" and they all had guns and their all like jumping this 1 guy. After we asked what was going on and they had a tip off that some guy was trying to rob one the buildings outside and he had gun so. Moral of the story-If your gonna rob a bank don't do it outside a police station LMAO. Edited January 11, 2007 by mattyboy2384 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 the totally pilled up kid in worcester a couple of years back, who ran into tesco express, slipped on his arse, then came out tellin us how hed pissed on his hand and stuff. cos he was wired, to which tim stedman said "no,your not, thats the problem". i almost pissed myself at the time, was just so quick. think on the same ride we witnessed fat people getting naked in the fountains at the water front.and promptly getting arrested, and a party boat full of fit women on a hen night.

that NBR dude Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ticy will remember this one:Riding in poole, and his guy in his Supra was sat in traffic. The other cars moved about a foot, so he redlines it, and tries to wheelspin away to move an inch forward. Tic yells out "HAHA WHAT A D**K" and then all of a sudden he gets out and starts running towards us shouting. After he decided that there were about 6 of us, and he was more concerned with his £100 airstyle, he gets back in his car, redlines it again, and does a wheelspin, reversing back down the one way road the wrong way, onto the busyest roundabout ever nearly hitting like 5 cars, and tries to wheelspin agin, failing completely. Was totally random Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrex Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I nearly got mugged by a woman pensioner in Southend high street. Then police came around the corner and warned us that the woman that threatened me was dangerous, then the police start asking why we haven't got seats on our bikes, then they ask us to do some tricks so we hop about on the path then they say why don't you jump up that wall, so we did, which is unusual because they usually bollock us for that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While riding we were having a laugh about all the rude boys in their 'done up' cars. This Scooby enters the car park and decides to show off by racing down the length of carpark, he somehow managed to loose the back end and nearly crashed into one of the supporting pillars of the car park. He swiftly left the car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
