Moped Crime Wave


Recommended Posts

Saw a kid today on Wostenholm Road, no helmet, face covered and baffles taken out of exhaust for that extra 0.05hp it gives you. Looks like we're copying London and getting a moped crime wave.

i think a wave needs more than one sighting

 

at the moment your describing a ripple.

 

I see these sort of scumbags riding around the cross and Shiregreen every single day, to be fair it is starting to be a fairly noticeable ripple.

mopeds/bikes loads about with youngsters on em

 

Monday I saw two lads who were only about 15 years of age on what looked like an old Suzuki GPZ1100, thats one hell of a big bike for a couple of little scumbags without helmets to be pottering around on.

other than riding without helmets, an offence which eventually will be self-punishing, are they actually committing any crime?

 

Well we can't taint them all with the same brush but... selling drugs is often done by a youth on a stolen scooter, they hitting people with batons and other things, no insurance etc, riding on footpaths, riding whilst high on drugs, robbing peoples phones from their hands as they ride away, just a few off the top of my head that is happening around Sheffield.

You can’t just go calling people names. Some of my friends have mopeds what they ride around on and they’re like in their 30s. It’s just cos they’ve not got enough brains to be able to drive a car so I think actually the moped option is safer for everyone. They all wear helmets too to protect their heads when they fall off (this happens quite a lot unfortunately) and Ross even wears cricket pads too to save his legs when he comes off (went flying at that roundabout near Woodhouse the other day LOL).

For your records – none of my friends is criminals. Not really anyway LOL.
