Well, they blocked me, and 2 charlie males got out and just pushed me off the bike, chucked it into the bakkie and sped off. I just sat there, bemused.

Where in P-lands? This morning?? (Got mates who live in Union) Any info on make and model of the bakkie? (In case these chaps are regulars at this...) Can't believe how brazen this is!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Nought dude! So sorry to hear! Where in P-lands? This morning?? Can't believe how brazen this is!Yeah. Just near that church with the open parking lot on Union avenue. Was testing it out after I'd rebuilt it with the new linkage. Had a bit of time after dropping the gremlin off at school. Wasn't wearing my cleats, even though it had those pedals on it. Was in my work shoes. Just a quick push on my shoulder, and bam - on to the side of the road. ****
Long Wheel Base Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Ahh no sorry bud. That sucks big time but I guess its better your ok and they didn't pull a knife on you and hurt you. I hope they crash and ..............

The SPAR is literally right there with pleny of traffic coming by, so not even a quiet corner of the burbs. Right in front of everyone! (In case you don't see my edit above - Did you get make, model and colour of bakkie, so that if these chops are regulars at this kind of thing people reading this may be able to anticipate what's coming should they have an interaction with these pr1cks?)
ZakAttak Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 That sucks... Details of Bakkie etc? I live in the area and this is worrying....
SpyDude Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 **** dude...NO - glad you ok hey...Cant offer beer, but i can always... you know what hey
DubbelBuys Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 That sucks big time man! Hope you doing ok! Now to get the new bike search on asap
marko35s Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 WTF !!! .. hope you ok bro !! He's okay just very unimpressed with the whole event.
Tubehunter Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Come on, lets find this bike! It can't disappear without someone noticing it. Myles, have you done a Facebook post on this yet? We all need to share the nonsense out of that. The bike is unique enough that it can't go unnoticed by the cycling community and these freaks will need to unload it somewhere!
Bloukrans Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 WTF!!! This sucks - hope we find the bike soon!Keep us posted.

Just by that roundabout. Edit: It was a Nissan with a canopy. White. No recollection of the plates, though.
