Chavs on dirt bikes

[root]

Anyone has any idea who those tw*ts on dirt bikes are?

Been scrambling down east dulwich road (and on the pavement) wearing bandas and doing wheelies. Seemed like white kids late teens maybe early 20s.

[geh]

came past the pub on Lordship Lane earlier, pulling big air.

Liked it (sorry)

[Dee Woffaz]

Chavs....? Were they wearing Burberry baseball caps or large hoop earrings?

I'm with the big air too.

[Otta]

They've been around the area for a while now. The bike are annoyingly loud, but the worrying thing is that not one of them wears any kind of helmet, and you can't help thinking it's a matter of time til one of them takes a tumble.

Dunno about chavs though.

Must say that it's the riding and doing wheelies on the pavement that irked me. Don't really care if they don't wear a helmet and get themselves killed as long as they don't hurt anyone else. At best they'd make an organ doner.

Chavs ... judging by their attire and demeanour they didn't seem to be particularly smart or sensible and they all seemed too white to be playing east coast gangsta in south london.

White working class=chavs discuss? Go on root you start with your clever analysis and that

[Louisa]

Here we go the blow in onslaught of anything working class yadda yadda. I bet if they were hipster/yummy mummy/city gent types on a lambretta doing this not an eyebrow would be raised.

Louisa.

[Loz]

Because hipster/yummy mummy/city gent types never, ever get a hard time around here...

Yes the were white and pasty, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they looked like the working kind. I am of a port and rig upbringing, so hardly anything gets under my skin more than chichiness. Acutally ... those kids did.

[ultraburner]

A lambretta cant hit 50 mph in two seconds though, or pull a very good wheely so its unlikely, Lousia.

[Sophron]

No hint of blow-in Louisa, you are always looking for opportunities to grind that particular axe and this isn't one of them, push off unless youve got something objective to add.

[Louisa]

No I won't "push off" because it is relevant, and who are you anyway? The forum 'relevance police'? and on the point of being objective, other than slate my contribution what have you actually added to this thread? Sweet F.A that's what. So take your own advice.

Louisa.

[Sophron]

No it's not relevant or objective Louisa, you are an inverted snob and it's boring.

[Louisa]

And your two posts are relevant to this thread in what way?

Louisa.

If anyone has video footage of yummy mummies on Lambrettas doing noisy wheelies, please... er... PM me... (rubs thighs Vic Reeves-style)

[Jeremy]

Doesn't "big air" mean a jump off a ramp? Not just some poxy litte wheelie. Incorrect extreme sports terminology.

Should have called the police, nothing will be acheived on the good old EDF.

[Earl Aelfheah]

So riding up the pavements on dirt bikes, doing wheelies is 'working class'. You are a terrible snob.

Listen, anyone who says this is OK is either a complete moron or a troll... neither are worth arguing with...

[Earl Aelfheah]

True

[Sophron]

Exactly right

[Otta]

It's clearly not okay, I saw this lot a while ago and they're a bunch of morons acting like that on residential streets.

But that doesn't change the fact that root's posts (especially the second one) are pretty unpleasant.

[Louisa]

Absolutely Otta. Riding on the pavement is indefensible on every level. But the tone of this root persons second and third post in particular is pushing unnecessary boundaries with racial and social stereotypes. Interestingly, I was the questioned. Bizarre sometimes this forum is.

[Jeremy]

I always thought that "chav" meant someone who acts in an antisocial manner, and wears tacky/gaudy "designer" clothing. So maybe these guys don't fall into that stereotype. But exactly who are we afraid of offending here?

[Otta]

Chav thing isn't really the issue for me, it was more the "At best they'd make an organ doner." attitude.
