    There's a top bloke in my local butchers with a 3 week old ElectraGlide. Yesterday a garbage truck backed over it. Lots of damage. As he said (in different words) to the driver "It's as big as a car and you backed up 30 metres before you hit it. What if it had been a kid in a stroller". Have to be a pretty valuable kid to hurt more than that.

    I came out of the shopping centre a while back to see a big van reversing up to my bike. As he was getting very close I rushed up an yelled at him,he kept coming , he stopped about a metre from my bike . the prick had reversing sensors and a sick sense of humour.
