Kids..

Unfortunately in this day and age kids have no respect for anyone or anything, the seem to know the law and the fact that you cant touch them.

Last evening some local little shits were about to use my bike as a toy as has become the norm of late, and seeing them from my balcony I shouted down to them and they duly scarpered.

So i get up this morning to find my bike pushed over....seems like if you complain you'll only make matters worse for yourself.

Gotta love living in Glasgow :roll:

I mentioned to a friend that the PCX has a strap so a helmet can be hung from under the seat. He laughed and said he wouldn't want to do that because some kid would come by and piss in it. Funny, but I can see that happening.

If you can't put anything down to tie the bike to maybe you can create a plywood 'T' to drive your scooter onto and then tie it down on both sides with adjustable cables. At least it would keep the non-thinking kids from just pushing it over. Other than that, you are right. Kids feel like they can't be touched these days. It is up to the parents to instill respect in them. Hillary Clinton said that it takes a village to raise a child. What she didn't take into account was the fact that the rest of the village can go to jail if they try to stop the kid from doing anything wrong. Thank you, government. You have now made it impossible to raise a child.

Its not all bad, they have also made it very easy to nip round the local school and cull them.
