Very weird event at school today

[Ariel Badger]

It has been a long day at school today as we had a visit from the dreaded Ofsted inspectors. I had parked my Armstrong in its normal place on the car-park ( I put it in the same car bay every day, there is a big steel post that blocks it from being used by a car
so we use it for bikes only even though it is not marked as such). I fitted a centre stand to the bike last week but because I have lowered the suspension (short arse) I need to shorten the stand as I physically can not get it up on it.
I walked into the car-park tonight and my bike was where I had left it but now it was up on the stand. I was with my mate Kamlesh and we examined her for damage etc, Kam offered to help me get her off the stand but of course that was no problem. We did try to put her back up , Kam is a big bloke and I am used to moving bikes about, we could not do it.
I think it took at least three big blokes to do the job (PE spring to mind) but everyone in the school knows me and know that it is my bike and I heard nothing about it. Why would anyone do such a thing? With Ofsted in we all had better things to do than prat about on the carpark. although the bike was taking up a full space it is quite obvious that the big steel lamppost thing makes it inaccessible for a car and even if some plank had moved it to try and get a car in why go to all the grief of getting a bunch of Homeys to lift it high up onto the centre stand rather than the side-stand it was on when I left it?
Confused of Brum.

My guess would be a large number of teenagers sitting on or kicking over then bricking it and hauling it up onto its centre stand...

I assume the fact you mentioned none there must be no visible damage?

If i came back to find my bike other than i left it it would fuck with my head, maybe someones trying to fuck with yours?

Perhaps its a new ploy of the Ofstead inspectors, to mess with your head so you crack during the inspection, i hear league tables are the be all and end all...

I would blame it on the kids except..........

I get on well with most of them, they view me as an anti-establishment figure.

There was no damage, our kids are not subtle enough to just do something weird without tagging it etc.

They are not allowed on the carpark and in fact the big steel post is there because it has floodlights and CCTV on it ( as I am in fact parked directly below the cameras I can not see the bike if we "roll back" the video to see what happened) and the kids know they are being watched.

I am sending this mail to all the school in the morning

Dear Colleagues.
Could one of you please enlighten me as to how my motorcycle was on the centre-stand last night rather than the side-stand I left it on in the morning?
Could you also please explain how on earth you managed such a herculean task? I shortened the suspension due to my lack of hight and need to remove 100mm from the stand to make it work. I can not lift her onto that stand as I am not strong enough, Mr Patel and myself combined could not lift her onto that stand when we tried and I am sure that if Mr Eades, Doherty and Mrs Hornsby had joined forces with us we would still fail.
Just how did you do it, and why?

I'd laugh if you got an annonymous reply saying "it's called technique"

Have your Y11 left yet? Sounds like the kind of thing leavers would do as a prank.

Hope the Ofsted's going ok. Been through it myself twice so know how it goes.

one of the ofsted inspectors used to have an armstrong and is a believer in centre stands rather than side stands, and didnt fancy your bike falling off its sidestand onto his car.

The kids have probably done it for a laugh, listen for unexplained sniggering, staring, pointing and whispering during break times. The culprits will soon be revealed and are probably hoping you get the joke seeing as there's no damage.

[thegubner]

Quality, grav, you all ways seem to be the voice of reason. I quite like it, its quite a contrast to the way I view scousers.

[Grav]

Many apologies for ruining your stereotypical view of scousers, mate. I shall pinch your wallet and sally forth to buy some smack forthwith.

I know our kids, not their style. I work in a hard inner city school, the kids would slash tyres, nick it or set it on fire but not this.
