Get to see again

..A while back when heading home from work .. I copped a lump of concrete at my windscreen ... a bit of blood and a cut eye which fixed itself up .. tonight again .. this time a stubby of beer on an empty coastal road .. thankfully it glanced off and didn't bust the inside laminate like last time.. some people are pretty sketchy these days I find .. we actually turned around and followed these creeps .. for half an hour.. or so ..lots o money where they live but not much in the way of parental guidance ( kick up the butt ) it seems .

As if If the clouds arn't bad enough

Jeez mate, that's absolutely insane!!!
I guess the main thing is that you're ok.
This sort of thing seems to be becoming more prevalent these days and in most cases, the perpetrators aren't easily caught.
Ya gotta wonder at the mentality (or lack thereof) involved.

Surely they must realise that they could kill somebody? These walkways may just end up caged in soon - hope so if it will save lives.
Glad to hear you're ok.

There are some real freaks out there. Makes me nervous going under some of the over passes these days. The amount of times I've heard of people chucking stuff at cars.

Sorry for the babble last night I was pretty rattled... I can't believe we actually followed these guys for half an hour .. passing them waiting watching and following some more .. we were hoping the police would catch us up.. my son wanted to jump out and smash them (his car ).. had to convince him no good will come from that as we had called the police and they would easily figure out who the battered guy and his pushbike were connected to.


Anyway in the end last night we lost sight of them outside the first few houses in the last street in the estate
by the time we got into the street they were gone .. today On the way back from brisbane I went back to the street I last saw them in and had a chat with a guy enjoying a beer on his front verhanda to see if he could place the face .. no luck despite the guy having some Very distinctive features .. bad luck eh ?.. well it was for this dumbsarse I was only there for a few minutes.. approaching the end of the street .. guess who come wandering round the corner slurping on a can of beer walked straight across the road and into the second house in the street

don't expect much to come of it but I'd love to see his face when the police knock on his door tonight
they didn't know they were followed for several kms down laneways sidestreets ect .

They should lock them up and lose the key in my mind.

I have a real worry about riding my motorbike under those overpasses and try to avoid them if possible.

I'm glad you are all right.
