hicksy3 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 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. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickey finn Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 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. ---------- Post added 09-08-2017 at 21:11 ---------- 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.

andyofborg Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 other than riding without helmets, an offence which eventually will be self-punishing, are they actually committing any crime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey finn Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 other than riding without helmets, an offence which eventually will be self-punishing, are they actually committing any crime? Hitting vehicles and riding off is the main one, several round Hartley Brook shops in the last week alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek-no-logic Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 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.

ohmyword Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited August 10, 2017 by ohmyword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
