ewep Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Got klapped with a m**rse stok on the right leg this morning when 2 black ***** tried to hijack me in Vanderbijlpark. So not even your more rural-ish towns are safe. Fortunately I was in the right gear, right speed and had leg warmers on. I also saw the ***** coming so shouted, jumped the pavement and went like hell. Edited April 22, 2014 by ewep Language
Matt Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I'm sorry to hear of this ewep and can imagine you're fired up after such an incident, but please watch your language. OP has been edited.
Race Turtle Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Sorry to hear man.. Where in Vanderbijl did this happen?
Face Plant Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 jeeez sorry to hear about it, please let us know where this happened! i am going to guess thats its the spider valley area but please let us know so we can warn the local riders
gummibear Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Eish ewep....glad it wash't worse.Hope the leg is ok.
PeterF Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Sorry to hear, hope you are ok. If I recall correctly there have been several hijackings / attempted hijackings in that area.
Gen Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Oi.. happy you got away.. sorry about the whole incident.
corrie.kuilder Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I fear that the emerald area may become a hotspot,I noted that there is a increased nr of suspicious characters in that veld. Good luck with the recovery.
ewep Posted April 22, 2014 Author Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Sorry Admin. Thanks for editing, won't happen again. It happened 300m from Turbo Motors, on Langenhoven Street. I take the route that the Mittal (Iscor) guys cycle to work and back on as it is safer and there is more traffic. Seems that is not a deterrent. The petrol attendants just looked up and then went on filling cars. Seems like they just don't care. This is not the first time I have taken this route. Been riding it for some time, and up to now I've only had joy here. But I'll be back, on my GS, with a sjambok. I WILL get these guys! Corrie, I live in the Emerald area. I haven't had any issues as yet, but thanks for the heads up. Seems my MTB will soon be up for sale as I am not willing to ride and not be able to enjoy it. o yes, just FYI, HR spike 151BPM - 173BPM in 30 sec. Normal avg cadence on the MTB is 85, with max so far on 96. Max was 108rpm. Edited April 22, 2014 by ewep
Face Plant Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 there have been no incidents in the emerald area, our club riders use that area extensively and there have been no problems. the problem area (in the past) has been spider valley, the turbo motors area is a bad spot in general so take care out there guys
