Hi everyone I was hoping today was going to be a happy day for me but not to be. I had my test this morning at 9.40 and all week doing my das course I was getting on great but yesterday for some reason I couldn't get my u-turns, today however I was at the training school at 7 am and I practiced until it fell into place. Then when I started my test I couldn't beleive how smoothly it went, all my manouvers were perfect until 10 minutes to go I stalled the bike at a junction, the bike was in second I was sure I had it in first and I ran over the give way and he failed me boohoo. Apart from theat I got one other minor fault.......Gutted absolutely gutted.
Awwww honey. This is shitty, BUT you didnt do anything majorly wrong that cant be avoided next time. Book yourself a retest ASAP. <BIG HUGS>

So the fact that he was doing nearly DOUBLE the speed limit makes no difference, eh?
How would you feel?
The dog was 100% reliable... except that 1 time. You know the law, huh?
Well then you should know that exceptions are made for a dog BEHAVING OUT OF CHARACTER!
And you can prove a dog was BEHAVING OUT OF CHARACTER how?
It makes NO difference whatsoever. Your dog was not on a lead - end of, and that is how the law views it. If it had been restrained it would have been a different kettle of fish.
You can NEVER EVER know what a dog is going to do no matter how well you THINK you know it. My ex-husband bred Japanese Akitas and is extremely knowledgable on all things dog. One of our very soft and loving bitches who had never shown any aggressive tendencies in the 8 years we had had her suddenly turned viciously on him one day - for no reason whatsoever that we could see.
We have a very large Dogue De Bordeaux who is a fabulous dog in every way, but would i trust him 100% and say that i truly know him - would i fuck. And i never would with any dog no matter how long i had had them.
Dogs can turn at the drop of hat for no apparent reason so proving they were behaving out of character is a hard thing to do.
And yes - i do know the law.

Are you trying to piss me off?
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?
WHERE YOU THERE?
Yes she was off the lead, but I wasn't walking along the road... I was in a forest!!!!!
What he did WAS an offence! END OF!
Now leave it alone!
I never said i knew anything about what happened, but i do know the law.
Your dog was not reatrained therefore YOU were responsible.
You know what fuck it. You come on here banging on about how fuckin pissed off you are about your dog being killed and how the driver committed an offence blah blah blah. I just pointed out that the driver did not commit an offence if the dog was NOT restrained - which by your own admission it wasnt and you have the nerve to tell me to leave it alone and swear at me!
I am extremely sorry you lost your dog in this way and am in no way condoning the actions of the driver but dont you dare have a fuckin pop at me - in a forest or not the law is the fuckin law and YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE for that dog not being on a damned lead. when there were vehicles about
Its called RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP
-
Actually it is a hit and run offence! WHERE DO YOU GET THIS INFO FROM?
It isn't an offence if you hit a cat! But hitting a dog is NO DIFFERENT to hitting a person!
Yes it is. If your dog was not restrained you are responsible in the eyes of the law.
The Road Traffic Act (1988) states "A person who causes or permits a dog to be on a designated road without the dog being held on a lead is guilty of an offence".
Therefore if your dog was not on a lead and in the road there is nothign that can be done, and in reality you could have been in serious shit if the driver had pursued this.
the driver should have stopped and given his details to you at the time of the accident if you were about. If you werent he should have reported it to the police within 24 hours.
If you gave his reg number to the police he would have had a bollocking for not doing so.
Hitting a dog IS different to hitting a person IF IT WAS NOT RESTRAINED.

Ever since my dog was killed by a speeding hit and run driver, who was seen pulling up 500m down the road, getting out, inspecting his car and THEN trying to drive home. He NEVER returned to the scene and after his car broke down on the way home and probably after getting an estimate for the damage to his car, he THEN reported it to the police the following day claiming it was all our fault. The police REFUSED to investigate, despite 4 witnesses to him absolutely NAILING it through the gears and hitting my dog WITHOUT braking or reacting IN ANY WAY! So no, I don't give a shit anymore and if anyone tries to mess with me now, they'd better be ready. Take your fecking lid off and smash them in the face with it if needed. I will not back down, not for a Knife or gun or anything. If my time has come, then so be it
If a dog is not on a lead and on the road when the car hit it, it's the dog owners fault and the police won't investigate im afraid.
Dogs (and cats) are not like people when involved in an accident -- it is not considered hit and run, nor can the driver be charged with anything even if he had stayed around.

And this thread is almost 3 months old.
Added that Handai the forum troll has not been seen on here for a couple of months wouldnt it be better to leave it alone rather than resurrect it cos he aint gonna answer.

What he said.
I put both me feet down anyway - always have done, but then again i am a shortarse and both feet give me extra confidence so i know im not going over
-
Thank God for that! Now i know I'm not the only one to have things thrown at him. Let's see, empty JD bottle in Manchester
Thats cos us Mancs only drink quality liquor

I tried to pull some nutter over once & despite having a rather small person on the pillion (my 12 year old nephew) I then had 3 miles of avoiding a black series 12 BMW (despite speeds) where the driver tried to run us off the M1 (between Watford & Northamton), when it sped off I thought good! Only to have the driver on the carraigeway (a couple of miles later) waiting for us, with a machete & tried to hit us! Now I reported it to the police & what happened? FUCK ALL HAPPENED!!!! DESPITE ALL THE CAMERAS ON tHE MOTORWAY! WHY???? Coz I was on a MOTORCYCLE!!!!! UNLUCKY EH!!!
Very.
If someone tried to hit you with a MACHETE on a public road then the police should have done something. I cannot undestand why they didnt and why you have not complained that they didnt. If this was captured on camera it would have been dealt with and swiftly. Section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953 outlaws the possession in any public place of an offensive weapon "without lawful authority or reasonable excuse", therefore if this was on camera and you reported this to the police then it should have been looked at. If not then you should have been asking SERIOUS questions as to why such a serious offence was not investigated and put a complaint in to the Police Complaints Authority. This would have gone all the way to court without a doubt.
The CPS states that where there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction, the public interest will normally require a prosecution. - if it was caught on the motorway cameras that is sufficient evidence.
Where the evidence discloses that the defendant has used a knife to cause injury/threaten violence/cause fear, or has carried a knife in a way which contravenes a possession offence (which he clearly did), there will be a number of compelling public interest factors in favour of prosecution which should be accorded proper weight. These include the following:
a conviction is likely to result in a significant sentence: [use and carrying offences; see guideline case of Celaire and Poulton 20031 Cr.App.R (S) 610 and the Magistrates' courts' sentencing guidelines];
a weapon was used or violence threatened during the commission of another offence;
the offence is widespread in the area where it was committed;
the offender was a ringleader;
evidence that the offence was premeditated; (obviouslt because he stopped and got out with the INTENTION of trying to hit you with a machete therefore he had thoguht about it previously)
there are grounds for believing the offence is likely to be repeated;
prosecution would have a significant positive impact on maintaining community confidence; or
a culture of carrying weapons encourages violence and may lead to more serious criminal behaviour.
I would chase this up if i were you.

hang the twats by their bits with barb wire!!!!!Some people would pay good money for that kind or treatment !
If you ask nicely.......i'll do it for you for free.......

Also see my reply to your otehr post regarding this HERE

Write them a letter.
Something like this:
Dear Sir
I am writing regarding my Yamaha XVS125 (reg No: xxxx xxx) which i brought into your garage on 00.0.2008 for an M.O.T. I had booked this appointment a month before on 00.0.2008.
I informed the mechanics that the front tyre would need changing and was told that it would be done in 1 day.
6 days later i am still waiting for my motorcycle.
I have called your garage several times, and have been told that a Dunlop tyre for the front, which will match the back, cannot be found, but i have been offered a Pirelli tyre for the front.
I am not at all happy about this and am finding it a little difficult to understand why it has taken so long to sort this out, and why no one has contacted me to keep me informed of what has happened.
I rely on my motorcycle as my main form of transport to and from work and have had to pay out for public transport over the past week - something i would not have had to do had my motorcycle been back with me as promised.
I expect my motorcycle to be returned to me by (insert date here).
I also expect some form of compensation for the length of time you have kept my motorcycle and the fact that you have failed to keep me updated, despite promising it would be back with me in 1 day.
I look forward to your response.
Yours
Mr Hugoverdog
If you put it in writing you can take it further if you do not get a satisfactory answer.

Hopefully some local bikers will be able to give them a lesson or two.
I mean riding lessons............. obviously.........little bastard........
HI goff. saw them cocky little asylum seekin little bastds.. glad i stay in the sticks ..
and ur pics on ur avater get better all the time lol why thankya kindly. Some things just get better with age
-
Bollox.
I would take it somewhere else.
ideally your back and front tyres should be the same but its not set in stone. I often ran differnt tyres on my CBR6 and never had any problems as long as i wasnt racing like Rossi.
6 days for a tyre is taking the piss.

Shoei XR1000 Diabolic 3 Limited Edition for me.
At 1400g its the lightest on the market. Fits very well, has a pinlock visor and is a very quiet helmet.
Not the cheapest lid, but one of the best i've ever had.

The picture you were trying to post has been deleted from photobucket so the link wont work. Either you have deleted it of PB has.

I was in the passenger seat of my OH's Focus. She was driving. She does about 500miles a week, so she knows how to behave on the road. We were driving along a dual carriage way when suddenly this A******* in a Fiat deceided to DELIBERATELY try and run us off the road, because we had overtaken him??? My OH reacted very well and avoided an accident. I asked a few coppers about the incident and they said that NOTHING would be done unless INDEPENDANTLY someone else reported the same incident. Basically, there wasn't going to be a result, other than wasting my time and getting very annoyed about it all. TBH Life's too f'ing short RIP Lucy the Dobermann 2006-2007
Aa a qualified professional driver i have on occasion reported several incidents to the police in the past and most have been looked at. Not all, but most, and therefore am drawing on my own experiences as are you.
If this guy is really riding like an utter OOPS I said the C word, then he'll deserve what's coming and others will report him too.Fingers crossed
I never said don't report him, I would just try and give him the thumbs up and nod right for him to pull over for a quick word. What makes me laugh is that almost EVERYONE is scared to speak up.Believe me - im not one who's scared of speaking up, but in this day and age you dont know who the hell you are dealing with and have to err on the side of caution.
For example... Went to a petrol station in a Subaru Impreza a few months ago. Next to us was a XK8 Jaguar. The woman driver took an instant dislike to the car. She went inside, paid, came back out and banged her door 5 times into the Subaru, proper dented it.Another woman inside saw this, but when asked about it denied she saw anything. WHY? To her I can just say you wuss and I hope it happens to you the same way and YOU get stuck with the repair bill!!! If instead of the posh bitch in her £30k Jag it had been some hooligan in a banger I could have understood it..
Did you report it? It would have been captured on CCTV. You should have reported it to the police and claimed on your insurance. Once the insurance informed the police she drove off they would have paid her a visit and she would have had to have provided her insurance details.
You're wearing full leathers with crash pads etc and a full face lid. What are you worried about?Personally, I'd be more worried about reporting someone without discussing it and them finding out it was YOU! Boils down to the same possible end result or worse.
If you manage to speak to him, then I would just say something like: Love the bike mate, where did you get the exhaust from? ....bla bla bla... I've seen you about a few times, sometimes going a bit fast and you've flashed past me a couple of times. I'm not that experienced and I almost crashed the other day. Could you do me a favour and just leave me a bit more space.
If he smashes your face in he is VERY maladjusted. He will more than likely apologise and leave space for you in future. He will probably say he didn't realise he was causing a problem for you, but understand it when he thinks about it.
I've had numerous words with people over the years and the "want to smash your face in for no reason" attitude is one of car drivers and cyclists, NOT bikers in my experience (15 years on the road).
P.S. Lets not turn this into a chain lube type of debate.
These are just opinions The problem is i am not going to deliberatly put myself into a potentially volatile situation. I have no problem whatsoever giving someone a piece of my mind but as i said earlier - pulling someone over just to do that is suicidal
Maybe he will apologise - however i do doubt that very much - this is 2008 not 1908, but again, if it was me you would be told to fuck off and mind your own business.
-
There are ways of dealing with this. For example... Flagging him over and "having a chat" with him and WARN him BEFORE reporting him, hence my honour comment.
Yep thats gonna work. If someone tried to flag me over i would either ignore them or stop and tell them to fuck off and mind their own damn business, so yes i can see that working very well. If he's riding like a twat, chances are he will behave like one too........
TBH If another rider passing you at speed is going to be a problem for you, IMHO you should stay at home as he won't be the ONLY 1.It wont be a problem once they are off the road.
Go on report it. The police won't do a THING, because to report someone for dangerous driving you need a witness.End of the year you'll be complaining that the police rates have gone up... AND YOU'RE THE REASON WHY! For wasting police time with something you could have EASILY resolved yourself.
Actually you dont need another witness. If you go to them and tell them whats gone on an that its been happening for a while they WILL monitor it. I aint gonna try and stop some fuckwit only to have my teeth smashed in or to be given a load of abuse.
For the record I HATE people who speed. My dog was killed by a speeding car driver just over a year ago. So I understand the meaning of SPEED KILLS. That doesn't mean I'm going to be a little snitch and scribble down everyone's numberplate. Nor does it mean that I condone illegal activities like speeding, undertaking etc.It doesnt mean you're a little snitch - but if it saves the twat from killing an innocent person/animal then ill happily report his sorry little ass. A biker and his pillion were killed by the actions of such a rider at Matlock this year so these people need reporting and taking off the road.

No code of honor here then Might aswell buy a Volvo.
What code of honour is that?
-
What's funny about that is that my mates who were taken off their bikes by cars WERE RIDING NORMALLY
I dont think i actually said anyone was riding like a twat or that you need to be riding like one to be taken off.
I was merely stating the obvious.
and ur pics on ur avater get better all the time
