SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

They're even more annoying than those bloody annoying air-horns people take to race meetings.
There's a solution to air horns, as my mate Alun showed me. You grab it from the tw4t who's holding it and break the thing's top off and stamp on it rendering it useless. When he complains you tell him he'll have the air canister shoved where the sun doesn't shine by you and everyone else around you. The tw4t usually finds other people to annoy, but minus an air horn.

Ahhhh nothing like a bit of gratuitous violence to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy...

That said, Portugal is playing in 1h30', so the Vuvuzelas are out on the streets... I'm not looking forward to my lunch hour.

I was going to say that I prefer the vulvuzusuzuvucklas though.

I've been back for a couple of weeks but only really in the Ecosse section... I didn't exactly leave, I just kind of stopped posting here without meaning to. Fallen out of love with motorbikes I guess, still got the bike and still riding but it just seems like hard work. But I think I'll be hanging around...

As we're living in a nanny state do you think that these would be banned from all stadiums if 30,000 fans at each game were wirling these around, mind you you'd need popeye arms for that.

Apprently the vuvuzelas are part of South African culture.

There going to end up at all our games in the uk and will most certainly be banned IMO.
