this guy at work came upto me about 4 months ago once I had passed my test, I had just got a rossi rep helmet and having never spoken to the guy he came up and said " don`t like your helmet " I thought fair enough your entitled to your own opinion !!! bearing in mind he had some gay flip up thing ( no offence to anyone who has one, its just this was a cheapo version ) he then proceeded to tell me that my NC29 was crap at handling and I would get bored soon and need more power etc etc yawn yawn. now my NC29 is in very good conditon considering its 18 years old this guy has a 9 year old SRAD which looks like a complete piece of shit !!!!

I think muppets like this give the rest of the biking community a bad name, he revs the bollocks off his bike everytime he starts it up just to let everyone know he`s going and he drives down the road about 30 plus with one hand on the bar, his flip up helmet in the up position smoking a fag trying to be cool !!! one day soon I am going to wipe that smile off his face the prick !!!!

Rant over sorry I just hate people like him.

PS he said I should aviod an R1 as my next bike as he`s an expert and reckons they don`t handle very well !!! with a comment like that enough said I think Very Happy

Things like this can be resolved in three ways as far as I can see it...
1. Ignore him
2. Just say 'f*ck off you clown' next time he tries it on
3. My favourite, in your spare time at work make a 'bullshit' card on the computer, about as big as a credit card and prefereably on yellow paper, obviously with the word BULLSHIT in bold black letters. Whenever he starts to speak just hold it up in his face like your flashing your ID. He will soon get the message Thumbs Up

these things have been building up, it came to a head yesterday when the tit parked his bike so close to mine that when he lean`t it over I couldn`t even get on my bike he`s just a knob.

What annoy`s me most is he insults my intelligence when it comes to bikes I know quite a bit about the various bike models and their pro`s / con`s and he preaches to me when he knows nothing, it just makes me smile and think what a tit Very Happy

Sounds like a right nonce. Next time he parks really close to your bike go outside (with a mate if need be) and lift the back end of his bike round so you have enough room to get on yours. Of course in the unhappy event that you lift it too far round and the whole bike somehow ends up at the other end of some other firms car park (oh dear...what a shame) don't go blaming me! Laughing

Next time he talks to you, just make stuff up. Tell him you're getting an NC40, (its new) based on the updated R9000 Econosrad, runs on NOS and hen's farts don't you know...

Fight fire with fire is what I say. Cool

Knock his kill switch on for a few days. When he works that one out, pull the odd plug cap off. If he works that out, disconnect his side stand or clutch switch.

I went to work the other day and I saw this total numpty on a shagged old 400. Why would anyone buy a bike like that when they can get an SRAD like mine for the same money I'll never know?

You could tell he was an eejit because he had a rossi replica helmet, and so clearly (like all young kids these days) thinks he is Prestons answer to The Doctor himself. I chatted to him for a bit, and like all young kiddies he wants an R1. I tried to dissuade him by saying that you can't use more than a 600 on the road anyway and that he won't be able to handle an R1.

Maybe I'm just getting old now. I'm the kind of guy who needs to wear a flip up lid and stuff like that. I can't be doing with these full face lids any more - you can't have a tab whilst riding!

I'm a bit concerned as he looked at me when I was warming my bike up - it has a few cold start issues at the moment. I really hope he doesn't rev the tits off of his bike just to look 'cool'. I certainly wasn't doing that. Its muppets like him that give the rest of the biking community a bad name. I'm sure he won't listen to reason.

I'd just embarrass him/show him up in front of as many people as you can.


Sounds like a case of ''all the kit no idea'' and he's a poser and a bit insecure. Should be easy to show him up and make him feel 4 years old infront of everyone.

Blag his mind with tech speak. Mr. Green

A few questions:

1) You want an R1 and worry about people giving biking a bad name? Some might argue that the only way to use an R1 on the road is exactly what gives biking a bad name! Wink

2) what does it matter what lid you or he wears? You sound like a pair of fashion obsessed kids!

3) Surely it is better to be comfortable with your bike and your kit, than to have a brand new Ducati you don't ride because your Dianese leathers are too tight?

I think its the BABs who don't know how to ride within their abilities who really give biking a bad name. Whenever you see on the news that someone has been caught for excessive speeding its nearly always a fortysomething on a late model 1000cc sportsbike with matching leathers out at the weekend. Its never a daily rider on a slightly knackered old bike with a flip up lid is it?

Don't judge this guy too quickly. Some people aren't very good at first impressions, but at the end of the day he rides a bike and so he shouldn't be your enemy. Certainly not after talking to him for no longer than a few minutes! Karma

Sorry mate (to damage your ego) but it has got fvck all to do with you. It will be any number of more important (in his life) things like his missus, his credit card, his bit on the side, his illness, his cats ilness, his long lost brother returning from America and wanting his £5k back ......... you will never know, you just happened to be in the path of his angst and got a bit of shit stuck to you.

Just keep moving nothing to see here.

If you want the guy dead you could always drain his hydraulic fluid or even better do something to his bike that will get worse over time so he doesn't realise that someone has done something.....Failing all that you could slash his tyres or knock his bike over.

Try kissing him.

Either you will end up with a hunny bunny to while away the hours at work or he will go out of his way to never get within 50 feet of you. Your choice.

You horrible prick.

You just don't damage other people's bikes, that makes you ten times worse.
