Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Had a phone call yesterday saying that I had £300 taken off my credit card, push 2 for more info. Did not think, (was not thinking straight -Drugs) i did push two and got through to someone who sounded wrong. Put the phone down on them, got onto my card people and told them the number and what had happened just in case.

It sickens me that trusted services where you have to give out your number must sell it on to these people, or someone where it ends up with these scum bags. It was my land line and nobody knows that.

Just as well, drugs and all, I still did not trust the call, but somebody less savy could get taken in hook line and sinker....

Having to drive on Britain’s roads again.

They seem more congested than ever outside of rush hour and their are more muppets at the wheel than ever.

Having been on the road through out lock down I can confirm that driving standards have continued to appall me and are certainly show no signs of improvement any time soon.

Whenever they ask for info is a heads-up.....they're supposed to have all that to begin with....especially the "just need to confirm..." bullsh!t - whatever you tell them, they're just going to agree...mother's maiden name, etc.
Just ask for a supervisor if in doubt. Or slam the phone down, hurl it across the room, etc. That'll show them.

The ambulance chasers have got my number. Great.

Ambulance chasers?

"hello, I'm calling about the accident you've had in the last 3 years and how we can deal with your claim"

Oh. Those.

I just had a text "from my bank" claiming I had a new payee registered. It would help if it wasn't a strong Asian name they decided to set up. The area I live in is 90% white and 10% black. There aren't any Asian's in our suburb.

Technology.

My work laptop has been rebuilt twice and now shows signs of a hardware failure. So within 5 months of use it's going in for warranty repair and I think I'm getting a new one from stock.

TomTom - see what did you do to your bike today thread!!

Got the new laptop. Have been rebooting it for the past 3.5 hours.... 'cause updates.

British summer, or lack of it

The bloody heating has just kicked in. I can't believe it's this cold.

Twats that refuse to put big scary dogs on a lead when you have a 9 year old physically shaking and scared as they are trying to jump all over her
How about I kick your dogs in the balls and hit you on the head with a log next time we go for a walk in the woods

You shouldn't let your dog off the lead unless it's got excellent recall.

It really pisses me off and I'm a dog owner.

Bad dog = bad owner skills.
It's as simple as that really.

I agree 99% of the time.

Some dogs will just snap for no obvious reason and the owner can lose all control. That happens very rarely but it can happen.

It does piss me off when you see bad owners though.. does my head in!!

I agree..."sh!t happens" & you can't plan for every eventuality. I was bit by a German Shepherd a few years ago...maybe three. Got me on the right tit....surprised the fcuk out of me more than anything.
The lad who owned it ended up getting rid of it....I think it went after one of the schoolkids IIRC.

Two rotweilers knocked evie over and then started to snarl when I told the owner to put them on a lead,it was a horrible situation and shook both of us up
The owner was a brain dead chav that responded with aggression and shouldnt be allowed to own a pet of any kind
Anyhow bike ride soon kwacky

Hope Evie is Ok mate, that’s shite.

I’ve not got dogs atm but when I had my weinmaraners had similar situations a few times.

Had a pit bull run at us full tit with total aggression and there was no doubt it was planning on ripping my girl to bits. I love dogs but I didn’t hesitate and lined up a full kick to it’s head as it came in. Slowed it down but it still tore my girls back leg and caused stitches. I got a couple of good kicks to the ribs that finally made it stop. Owner was a complete arse as well and was threatening me with his dogs vet bill FFS.
