Zed · **on:** May 17, 2012, 07:28:38 PM

Well was riding home from work at 5 today and went up the alley that is a short cut home, ive been going this way for the last 8 years, while riding up the steep hill up the alley two young lads around 16-17 was walking down the alley, one of them started to shout at me to give him my bike , as i got two them i noticed they was very drunk and the mouthy one was waving a smashed vodka bottle in his hand, the other one looked me up and down and loked a little nervouse, i dont think they realised i was the age i was plus im pretty stocky and covered in tattoos, (probably help TBH) the more nervouse one said that he didnt like my bike and we just all stared at each other, well i just started to ride up the hill and they seemed to walk down, well who knows how that could of turned out but im ok , i was worried though for others they might of bumped into so i was lucky there was a rather nice femal officer not too far away, she took all my details and called it in, so fingers crossed they found the two chav scum, i would love to wave a smashed bottle in there faces and see how they feel, well im ok , just a bit angry, $:-\$ i had to share as this is what we do here on MTO

Well I'm glad you're safe, Zed; that wouldn't have been a fun experience either way the situation could've gone. :/

I'm glad you're ok and that you kept calm mate..

And let this be a lesson for those who don't like tattoos..

Glad to hear everything worked out. It could of been a lot worse. Just out of curiosity did you have a knife on you?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #5 on:** May 17, 2012, 07:39:13 PM

They probably did locate them- drunk kids never really get too far and are usually pretty easy to find.

It's always a better idea not to fight them- as much as we'd all like to think that we'd like to break someone like that in half, the reality is that it's better not to break them in half if you don't have to.

Glad your a ok all too often these sub human predators pick their victims a bit better so even if they comply they are still left traumatised for life .I will bet they S**T themselves when they realised that they had bitten off more than they could chew

Good to hear you're OK and your calm prevailed.

Zed · **Reply #10 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:12:29 PM

Thanks everyone, im glad i stayed calm as well, a few years back i would of probably been more lippy back and it would of made it worse, although these days i know im older and slower so calm worked out way better, i didnt fancy that bottle in my neck $:-\$

Glad you're okay!!!

Did you have a big strapping multi-tool hanging off the belt. That might have given them cause for concern. j/k

Happy to hear it all turned out great in the end.

The big metal pump is probably most useful, maybe I should get one of those instead of the dinky plastic mini pump I have now.

Thank God you're okay *crazy*

Now I'm curious how scary you actually look....
