Talking The funny things what you saw today thread

The rules - you must have seen it
- as above, today
- it should have made you laugh at the time


I'll start as its my game

A big Harley, with a big Harley type rider hooning down a B-road. Hanging off like a gibbon, scraping pegs. Gave me a massive superbike style nod as he passed.

Some plonker in a Mundano trying to overtake an old transit going up a hill. The van was belching out black smoke, the silly head trying to pass was right on the van's back bumper and had his wipers on to clear the soot off.


oh yeah and this

The chap on the naked SV I eyeballed today trying to reach the button for the intercom (to be let into the garage) without getting off the bike.

I think the security guy recognizes me and deliberately waits until I've put it in neutral and put it on the stand before opening the door to see my jig of unbridled fury.

The guy on the R6 who wheelied between 2 roundabouts on H3 Monks Way in Milton Keynes...here's a little tip - when you land a 1/2 mile long 90mph+ wheelie on something like an R6 there's a fair chance you'll end up in a tankslapper, so don't drop the front wheel only 100 yards from the roundabout.

How he managed to get it under control, brake and actually get round without hitting anything on a busy roundabout in rush hour is anyone's guess, but I'm laying stiff money it was more by luck than judgement.

Today (ok, yesterday, but i forgot to type y'day)

a bloke on a ZX10r pulling ontop the A40 westbound and popping a wheelie. All on his lonesome, no-one else but himself to entertain. He musta been happy, good on him!

I'll post again tonight of my favorite event of the day so far

I quite like this thread actualy, kinda reminds one's self to look for the things in each day that make you smile, even if you're having a crap day.

Yesterday again, some pi$$ed up student dropping his kebab because he stepped out arrogantly and the rev limiter was promptly fondled.
