So there one was, pimping ones BMX (blue anodised bits, blue walled tyres and respray on the forks and bars). After putting it back together I took it for a spin, but I didn’t have the rear wheel in properly so it made a bit of a racket and dropped the chain.

Presently an urchin in a beany hat pops his head up from behind an Audi TT (his mum’s one assumes) on the driveway opposite.

“I know what the problem is mister. Do you want me to take a look at it? I’ve been working on bikes all my life”. I politely declined the offer and sorted it myself with a deft whirl of the spanners.

The impudent young get. Did he not know who I was?

Ronnie Pickering?

Ah, you should embrace nice kids wanting to be the decent, helpful sort.

He’s probably going to take that rejection to heart, enter a life of crime, get into goat porn and eventully wind up working for Sports Direct.

He’d have become a Dr if you had said “yes please young man, that’s very decent of you”.

Bastard.

Get him to fix it whilst you go to the Pub?

…and that child vowed never to help anyone ever again.

Similar thing happened to David Cameron.

I was very polite to him and thanked him for his kind offer. Mrs Spider witnessed the whole affair and found it hilarious.

On reflection, I should have got him to try and shift the stuck seat post in my Inbred.

And/or posting on here.

Someone on your street’s got an Audi TT?

I know!

The Residents’ Association will put something on the Village Hall notice board about it. Probably next to the letter moaning about dog shit.

You’re never too young to learn 😉

I would tell him to eff off I had been fixing bikes since before I was doing his mum (cheeky little sh1t) 😆

Hope you feel proud of yourself. Thanks to your actions you have now created the world next supervillain and all becuase you wanted to act cool.

I know what you mean, I feel old, I signed up for an allotment today.. 😳

Whoever tries to pinch your brassicas is in for a shock.

You can’t buy class.

Great move.

I feel your pain , a few years back we were doing a group ride on Exmoor riding a stiff climb towards Dunkery . Young gun was being reeled in and overtaken by quite a few , as they passed he said it’s because I’m on my DH bike . As I passed him I said in response pah I’m 30 years older than you , without hesitation he replied well you’ve had 30 years more practice then ! I had to grudgingly accept I’d been owned ! Cheeky little shit 🙂

can I get a Ron Burgundy THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY image please?

Right now there is a thread on BMXTrackWorld asking if anyones had a pimped blue BMX stolen as one was spotted under some old bloke who obviously didn’t belong on it and couldn’t even attach the rear wheel. No way could it have been that old scally’s bike 😀
