pocket bikes................

MY WHOLE STREET IS FULL OF THEM!

i hate them!. For the past 2 years these pocket bikes have terriorized my neighbourhood. The 16 year old kid across the road at 4pm everyday, has at least 9 other kids with pocket bikes riding up and down the street untill about 1am. As a matter a fact there driving up my street now!!.

They are loud and sound crapy, they have annoyed many other residents, one kid only last week was hit of his pocket bike by a car. The police wont do anything about them (because they are kids)............even though there illegal on roads, footpaths etc! The pocket bike craze seems to keep getting bigger and bigger in my street (why? i dont know).

People from further up my street have actually started a petition to get the off the streets. The bikes are that loud (way louder than my v8), that they cause residents to come outside and literally pull the kids off the bikes and take matter into their own hands. I have actually seen one guy come outside, screaming to these teenager's/kids and even adults that he is trying to sleep, and if they dont stop that he will shoot every bike down with his hunting rifle ( scared the living daylights outov everyone, lol everyone on there pocket bikes fled and didnt ride there bikes for a whole week) . To make matters worse some of the kids try to be inventive and make motorized bikes, scooters, drag bikes from lawn mower engines. Thus making more noise and potential accidents for these kids...........there are even people well into there 20's who ride these POS in built up suburbin areas on main roads, WTF!

sorry if i have rambled on a bit, nothing against people who like them (only to the people who ride them in my street), but they absolutley s**t me! Just imagine, hearing buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noises, everyday for several hours at home while your trying to sleep, study, watch t.v, talk on the phone, clean the house, eating etc, etc.

we get one or two going up and down our street on the odd occasion... rather annoying thats for sure.

Felony · 12-12-2006, 10:46 AM

So regardless of levels of annoyance, who has one?

Pearly · 12-12-2006, 06:20 PM

I have one.

I take it out to an industrial park on a weekend every now and then to fang around in it.
There's no one there to annoy during the weekend.

I'd love to go out and do the same with more people but.

RUQ1KA · 12-12-2006, 06:50 PM

one of my mates has a pocket bike, and his modded his with an electric turbo and a nos kit among other things haha

scary to ride but fun at the same time:P

Anyone intrested in a little event for these types of vehicles?
thanks

Eb Barbie · 11-07-2007, 10:54 AM

Ssshh don't bring this up with Pete (pHaT'eL) My brother and him have spoken about gettin them. We have had all sorts of phases in my court. Started with the basics of bikes, go carts, lawn mower engines added, then metal scooters, then electric scooters, motor scooters, green machines/sliders (good fun and easy to slide on

) and now they have grown up a lil and a few have cars they're doin up. Still hasn't distracted them enough from the idea of a pocket bike tho :( Trying to get Pete to save! Not spend!! Lol
