Default Ped bois! HUNDREDS OF EM!!!

Driving home from work last night and I suddenly found myself SURROUNDED BY PED BOIS in the same fashion as the unfortunate couple in the Chevy in Mad Max. There were about eight of them... six on assorted hair dryers and two on actual 125s (looked like one CG and one Chinese 125 cruiser) and they all wobbled unsteadily past to overtake at the lights. And then again at the next lights. And then again at the next lights, all so busy trying to concentrate on not hitting each other they weren't looking where they were going half the time.

Never seen so many of them at once, anyone else come across a squadron of ped bois recently?

Ride through London at rush hour! They buzz all over like flies around a fresh turd!

I did come across a pack of them on the A10 through Tottenham when I was a courier. They were all over the place and made the mistake of getting in my way.

A few choice words later they turned off the A10 looking a little sheepish!

There must be some kind of anti-ped flyspray in a can that you can buy?

yep they all do it round here in a line talking to each other at about 20mph, no gloves trackys tucked in socks and feet resting on the legshield if they have a speedfight, or dangly off the sides/on the pillion pegs if it's something else. ****s

@Magnum: A factor of ten more respect to the two with proper bikes, obviously! No doubt the envy of their mates and the first in line for shags off Shaznay and Gemma when they get back to the estate.

... A cg? Are you serious they are the donkys of the bike world.. Nice and reliable good fun for like 5 mind untill you realise that it doesn't actually shift like you want it to.. And no amount of training ( tuning ) will make it any faster.. So that's when you decide to get a Pony ( an SV ) which can be trained well and offer great amounts of fun untill oneday you decide you want a horse (ss600) which I's ace fast as fook and gets you even closer to owning a full blown race horse ( 1 litre )..

So I guess mopeds are the Shetland ponys of the bike world..

I had a yamaha DT125r which in my eyes is the Snappy little fox of the bike world.. Intact I'm going to make a new thread for this LOL
