Crazy Quad Biker

For the last couple of days, there's been a shirtless guy riding at top speed in the roads around peckham rye park on a blue quad bike, often with one or more heavy duty motorbikes in tow.


I think they've been racing up and down in the early hours of the morning, based on the noise that keeps waking me up.


I'm assuming these must be a figment of my imagination and that I'm inventing 80s movie scenarios, as I have no idea how they've escaped the legions of police cars in the area. Has anyone else seen them?

OK, the Safer Neighbourhood Team is a collection of police, Special Police Community Officers, Community Wardens who work with the community and council officers, and they have meetings every other month (I post this in the What's On Section), to discuss what is going on in our area.

I do not know where you live so please find out through typing safer neighbourhood team and the postcode where you live to find your nearest one. There is a number you could call and tell them your concerns. Put the number in your mobile to call them when you are out and maybe see the quad bike or other non emergency concerns you have in your area.


We are all we have - so let's all help one another...

Thanks Karrie.

And Loz - the police will only know if people who see the quad bike tell the police at the time.

When I see it I shall report it too of it is doing dangerous stuff!

Oh and my info above is not quite correct, the SNT team meet a lot obviously, but at bi-monthly police ward panels, the public can come too.

Yeah I've seen this quad bike guy with balaclava twice...the first time was in Peckham on a residential road last week (Saturday afternoon) and he was definitely riding wrecklessly and the the other was on Saturday evening with a group of bikers at the petrol station next to Tesco Metro near Peckham Rye park. Shouldn't be too difficult for the Police to catch up with him. Don't think the vehicle has plates so can't be taxed or insured and that's reason enough for him to not be riding on public roads whether speeding or not.

the guy on the quad is legal, insured and has a license.so do the rest of the bikers.its summer time, and some people like to have fun,and enjoy life.


I don't think anyone has any problem with that, but using residential roads as a racetrack won't be any fun if someone gets knocked over or crshed into. The whole reason he has a thread on here is because of his wreckless driving. His is not the only quad bike in the area and his friends are not the only bikers, but he is one who thinks he should have fun before observing the highway code.

There have been reports that in West Dulwich a biker was filling up at a petrol station and as he came back to the bike having paid for the petrol, (ie he was about to put key in the bike with a full tank of gas) a gang of bikers approached and tried to beat him and nick his bike off him. Amazingly he fought back and got away. The whole thing was on CCTV obviously.


TO all bikers, be very aware.


My motorcycle is not one these guys would want to nick, not a high performance cool looking rice rocket. But wearing a helmet, armoured motorcycle jacket/jeans and gloves, it would take a few people to beat me. Also, my key is attached to a chain which is linked to my trousers, so they couldn't just take the bike off me.


Anyway, everyone take care out there.

I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this little twat hooning around on his overgrown tricycle in the early hours of the morning. The rest of the time, well, I may not like it but I recognise it's more or less a free country etc etc


But, but, but if he wakes me up at two in the morning again, my enraged and sleep deprived mind is going to start fantasising about cheesewire stretched across the road outside our flat.... (Or, alternatively, following the little sod home and playing some particularly dissonant piece of Philip Glass right outside his bedroom window VERY VERY LOUDLY at 5.00am in the morning.)

      Taxes

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/

      Taxes

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      "What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???" Why is it perceived, Reeves is responsible for doubling the "black hole" to £20b through the public sector pay increases. You can't live beyond your means and when you try you go bankrupt pdq. In 4 yrs time if this Govt survives that long and the country doesn't go bust before then, in 2029 I dread to think the state the country will be in.  At least Sunak and co had inflation back to 2% with unemployment being stable and not rising.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
