**** of the year!!!
Posted by: MichaelC on 18 February 2004
A new thread inspired by an incident I witnessed yesterday as I was driving across Epsom Downs.
A dedication to those who are training for their later entry into the Darwin Awards...
Yesterday mid-afternoon I was driving to Epsom and as I was crossing Epsom Downs two lads on moto-cross type motorbikes pulled out in front of me. They both drove off pulling slides and skids as they were going along. After eight hundred yards or so they came up to the largish roundabout next to the grandstand.
The first rider was still pulling silly slides and proceeded to travel around the roundabout in what I can only describe as a "speedway, one foot down on the ground, rear wheels slid out" manner. At the last moment he spun the bike round for his exit and duly proceeded. His, I assume, even more mentally retarded friend, promptly tried doing the same.
The twat, at the point seeing his friend suddenly veer off for the required exit, hesitated before managing to oversteer his bike so that he went tumbling over the handlebars.
Oh was it comical. Sorry guys but all I could do was laugh.
Fortunately for the biker I had held well back so there was no danger of my involvement.
Lets keep this thread going and recount appropriate events and poll the winner at the end of the year.
Cheers
Mike

Glad you think it was funny Mike, but I hurt my shoulder! 
I witnessed this (but not from a helicopter):
Details here. I'm pissed because this is one of my favorite Mexican lunch spots and they're temporarily closed.

It takes great skill to be that stupid.
This board is not big enough to relate ALL the "incidents" I see every day.One of the pleasures of being on the road 4-5 hours a day I guess.

Mike -
I was brought up in Leatherhead and went to school in Ashtead. For this I can only apologise.
More happily I now live in suave and sophisticated Putney
. But whenever I've been to Epsom, or through it (most recently on our club training rides out to the North Downs), it has what I can only describe as a 'higher scrote count' than anywhere else in the western world, with the possible exception of Wimbledon railway station.
'Scrote', as defined by HM Constabulary, is a spotty youth in a baseball hat who when not engaged in atempting to buy cider in a local off licence, is hanging around thinking up stupid things to do.

Minime,
What a scumbag! what a terrible situation to have to deal with, my sympathies. How did you restrain yourself? I have had thoughts of revenge, often when I am not even thinking about the car or the brain dead idiot who scratched it, it just keeps seeping into your consciousness that this scumbag deserve his come upance and you start thinking of ways to get even, but in the end I just resolve myself to do nothing, I will not stoop to his pathetic low life level.

Ps
The bastard had a heart attack last year so.......
the worms will have him soon
