wild foamy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 When i was with a load of mates on mopeds we used to play urban van art. basically, when in traffic, find yourself a dirty white van and (without the driver noticing) draw things in the dirt on the side, points gained for more detailed artwork, points lost if the driver gets out and kicks your head in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0hn Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Urban van art sounds fun! I'm not sure how it would have been like in your generation but artistic skills nowadays are fairly limited to penises. Video somewhat related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that man over there Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Jiggle my head about to make sure it's still attached, and read the small print on the number plate in front. Also take the opportunity to fidget in general and keep the circulation going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that man over there Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I've always wanted to play a quick game of rock-paper-scissors but haven't found a potential opponent, yet. Traffic lights here change way too fast to initiate a battle and the British mentality of minding our own business usually kicks in. That is, by far and away, the best idea I've ever heard. I'm tempted to go out for a ride right now juyst to try it - and it's tipping it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Keep a watch in the mirrors for the twats that brake late behind you In winter, hands on the engine to warm up a bit Apart from that, nothin, just sit and watch an observe the textin/phonin morons as they go by Incidently, driving home form hols yesterday up the M1 near J23, pulled out to overtake in the centre lane, puce coloured motor overtkes us at approx 75-80 with a queue of traffic behind her and continues to hog the outer lane in to the distance, as she chats away on her phone, clearly oblivious. Less than a minute later, btakes lights up ahead, traffic slowing quickly. Same puce coloured motor embededd into central barriers at right angle, couple of other motors look to have collided avoiding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0hn Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 It's times like these you need a helmet camera so that we can all basque in the glory of watching these morons completely wipe themselves out. I just feel sorry for the other drivers that are now having to go through a shit load of hassle because of one person's stupidity. that man over there, lol! It's really hard to find a good opponent, most look away instantly when you turn your head to look at them. I think anyone that admires your bike and gives you a thumbs up or a nod would be the ideal opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Used to have a wonderfull game with the local pizza delivery man... basically just used to ride around with him all the time, if we were really bored someone would put their foot over the end of the exhaust on his little ped so that it stopped, and then wonder why it wouldnt go when the lights changed green...

tezza-init Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If you cant filter, give some space to the car in front, assess escape route and hold in 1st and watch carefully the numpty coming up behind is going to stop. Only go to neutral when said car has come to a halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandouglas Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 my life plays out before me, i wonder, what if and maybe if i had done that and ponder, that .....................................i could have been somebody... then there's hooting, oh year the lights have change, oh well.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
