New threat in the UK

[stollydriver]

Just been reading in National newspaper about a new threat to motorcyclists in the UK. It seems that moped riders block in bikes - spray fire extinguishers at bikers and then steal the bike. I personally would have no hesitation to mow down a moped if it was deemed to be trying to steal from me. Does this happen in other countries? What would you do?

I sure hope they try that on me ! Obviously no one has told them that I am invincible ?
And what's more ? If my Mrs is riding pillion, they got bigger problems than me to worry bout !
I shall be sure to be on the lookout for moped riders carrying fire extinguishers from now on . Are they using water , dry powder or foam ? It's relevant ya know !

i think if all else fails,drop the bike on its side and watch them get herniers picking the bike up again.

Thanks for posting this - really interesting. I remember in Merseyside when the baduns would chuck an egg at your van - the noise is unreal. You would jump out to see what you'd hit - often leaving the van running - then some lout would jump in. Resulting in one lost van and associated stock.
