Having decided that his work was finished, he fired it up, said "Right, watch this!" and blasted off down the drive doing a wheely.
At this point the front wheel dropped off and went bouncing down the drive. He was so startled that he fell off the back of the bike, which continued down the drive on its rear wheel before crashing into his neighbour's car, parked on the road outside.
He had to explain all that to his insurance companyComment

interesting this has been posted......
a guy in my work is constantly bragging about doing quite frankly ridiculous speeds on his motorbike
he is a total fanny and i am seriously considering an anonymous call to the law to report him - not sure what they could do right enough, maybe give him a warning?
any thoughts on this?
report him?
mind my own business?Comment
