    I was going to post this in "motor sports" or "commuting and transport" or even "Health and fitness" but thought this would be a better all in one place.

    Have a look......

    Wheelie good display of dangerous driving there.

    They look like some sort of mechanized horses but with wheels.

    Non road legal bikes, no reg plates, no tax, no insurance, probably not even licenced...

    Will probably be out stroking bikes next, surprise, surprise :rolleyes: :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,359 ✭✭✭jon1981


    Needless to say, complete tossers! Seeing them tear along the footpath at 4m:30s, I desperately wanted to see him smash into the wall! If a pedestrian was walking along they would have no chance!

    So that's what happens those bicycle gangs when they grow up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,186 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    What is the point of those "speed" ramps? A two year old could see that they so flat they might as well not be there. The waste of tax payers money!!

    Can't bear to watch. The tension and subsequent disappointment of wanting one of them to hit a bollard or wall while doing a wheelie is unbearable.

    The daft little cnut riding on the footpath was pretty bad.

    Funnily enough, a large portion of the video was beside Ballymun Garda station.

    EDIT: And starts off very close to the Finglas station

    Wonder how many weeks it took to save up their dole to get those


    If the gards actually gave a fuk they could find out who uploaded the videos and just go straight to confiscate the bike and then work down along through his friends.

    Like it or not, the act of actually catching & stopping those bikes would be a very, very difficult task for a big lumbering Mondeo etc. Cul de sac's, bollards, railings, fields etc all make a getaway far too easy for

    Plus uploading a video doesn't mean the uploader was the driver (likely it was, but when dealing in law likely isn't enough).


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,597 ✭✭✭dan1895


    Can say as fact some of those lads will be tearing up and down the wasteland in front of IKEA once it the weather dries out.

    Nowhere in my post did I imply that I expect the Gardai to go all fast and the furious chasing kids on bikes.

    Forget all these time travel conundrums about stopping Hitler or 9/11.

    Imagine being able to place string fishing rod twine across the road at head level about a minute before they arrive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Pity the councils would not set up a few supervised tracks around the city where they could use their bikes

    Here's part 2, the main road in front of IKEA was good enough, seems they were all just out playing on the presents santy brought them.......

    Thats actually a good point - (whether or not your being sarcastic as I dont know of any tracks in the area) I have no Problem with gangs of lads on bikes, unless they are doing what these guys are doing - the path bit was a bit stupid tho. Actually the whole video was........




    I have forgotten my point!

    Sorry, I meant to quote a different post there, one asking where the Guards were. You did mention about tracking down the uploader of the video though, which I don't think would fly given vids can be shared/reuploaded etc. There's nothing in the video to connect it to the uploader (in law)

    there are no official tracks anywhere in Dublin just wasteland

    if lads have an interest in bikes give them a bit of space to use

    keep them off the streets

    Without being all Tory about it (I'm all for facilities for kids), do you honestly think those lads would choose a sanitized environment like that over buzzing around more risky, public places like roads, paths and estates?

    a decent well built track would hold their interest

    there will always be a few though

    It makes perfect sense, they should have tracks for motorsports around the country. Irish people obviously like taking risks in cars and bikes. We are pretty good drivers, I think if they got these young girls and boys into proper facilities they could go on to have actual careers in racing.

    Chris Harris recently put up a video of him living with the McLaren P1 for 2 days and he started the trip by taking it to a track to get the urge to hoon around out of his system before he hit the road.

    Give people the opportunity to do it legally then come down on them like a ton of bricks if you find them acting illegally.

    Yes, I do. Get the word out on the street - if you're able to ride the fcukan thing, then strap on your goolies and show us. On the short circuit, scrawping 'pegs at 100mph instead of acting the tool around the back-streets frightening children and oul' wans. Go onboard with 10-year-old Damien Jigalov, as he shows us how it's done:

    Yeah, though the problem is I wouldn't expect them to keep it to the streets.

    Get them used to flying around Mondello at stupid speeds and before you know they're pushing themselves even harder around the Finglas estates because they believe der bleedin deadly.

    If they do that then they'd be bleedin dead pretty quick.

    Going skittering into the gravel on their arses a couple of times, as well as being lapped and shown the way around by an oul' fella on a Fireblade will knock much of the "Oi'm bleeeeedin' deadly Oi am!!" out of 'em, ta fcuk. :pac:

    It would be awful if some citizen were to drive around with one of their friends leaning out the passenger window with a cricket bat...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,862 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    All nice and well if you would provide them with a track of some sorts.
    But how do you think they will get there? Pushing their bikes?

    I was at the South East Custom and Classic in Waterford many years ago. There was a chungfellit scutting up and down outside the Sweep pub on some sort of little trailbike. Until a couple of eighteen-stone Hell's Angels types came over either side and lifted him clean off it as he passed. Possibly the funniest thing I ever saw. :pac::pac::pac:

    These young lads don't give a fcuk,you could make the whole lot of finglas into a track and they would be tearing through the streets ofcabra or glasnevin getting chased by the police is a buzz to them

    The two lads at the SEC&C that time made your man give a fcuk. It is, at any rate, possible. :pac:
