Agent Orenge Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 That Gun saved his life!No surprised he left for OZ.This is actually a very sad story, was in West rand Cycles talking to Eben today. Eben "invented" night rides when we used to ride in the mine dumps at night 5 years ago befoe you could buy a serious light.They dont do any night rides anymore after this incident. In fact they found a new area, but it is now "controlled by Nelson Mandelas trust. They arrest you if you ride there. WHAT A f**kED UP PLACE THIS IS REALLY BECOMING
gilmour Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 colonel i am with you, sort of. what goes around can come around. i am sure there may even be two sides to this story...all i see is boy on bike and it can't be his fault...what if this guy was wound up to react? anyone thought of that? maybe this renaldo character is not all perfect, a known agitator by hubbers... gilmour2008-05-29 05:32:40

Are you smoking crack? Even if he shagged the motorist's wife on the hood of the car and scratched the paintjob attempted murder is not a acceptable response.
Bikalot Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 isint riding on that road in the dark adding to the danger factor?he left durbanville when it was getting dark, and ok he had lights,which makes you visible but doesnt make you safe from being mugged etc. ...
Pocketbikes Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Are you smoking crack? Even if he shagged the motorist's wife on the hood of the car and scratched the paintjob attempted murder is not a acceptable response. Shagg my wife on the hood of the car and you will wish you were murdered. (use a bed like most people) On a more serious note, whatever he might have done, could not have deserved the car pulling next to him to knock him off the road. It's almost as if the guy wanted to see the fear in his face. Then he still has the nuts to chase him. I don't know the cyclist, so I can't judge. Time for me to start carrying again. If anybody needs a "rent-a-cop" on training rides, tell me. I need to ride more. I would make sure he was dea, but not because he can't talk, but because he carrent do it again.
gilmour Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 napalm, I did not say it was right (its sick and wrong if its the truth) - but have you heard of cycle rage? The way we fluck at anybody that moves an inch too close too us, who says he really came at him for with an axe, did anyone see this? fight or flight right?
Windbreaker Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Isnt this the guy that pissed everyone including myself off on the hub and was really rude to Skye and always had so much to say and then sent little PM's to everyone to moan about others and then sent sexual content to the ladies on the hub?? Yes it is 1976man and you know what bud: KARMA!Not only rude - he threatened her with physical harm in a PM.Something along the lines of he'll "teach her a lesson if she f**ks with him"Karma .... ja maybe! Or maybe he is telling tall stories. Or maybe it is a combination. What if he really pissed the wrong person off this time and they decided to teach him a lesson?? I don't believe that his story is true.Windbreaker2008-05-29 11:10:36
Skye Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 shucks bit harsh colonell ? i mean if i read this correctly you saying cause the guy was rude to a few people on the Hub he deserved to have an attempt on his life? NO NO it was alot more than being alittle rude to people on the hub and I am very sure 85% of the ladies on this forum will be more than hapy to agree with it and I truelly believe what goes around comes around and clearly this came around-HARD. Say what you want the above is my view. I 2nd that Colonel...... I wish I had kept some of the "PM" he send me, would have posted them with pleasure. My hubby eventually phoned him and told him where to get of the bus
Windbreaker Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 ... Renaldo?s story. I was riding nearly on the edge of the road' date=' I saw from the corner of my eye a White Open Kaddet coming into the yellow line close to me, ?I looked into the man?s eyes and could see he wanted to kill me. I drove into me, sending me flying over my handlebars into the gravel and grass on the side of the road. He stopped, Got out with a Panga and come for me. I run into the bushed, thou wired fences I don?t know what else, I just wanted to get away. The guy then loaded my bike into the car and drove off..I laid in the grass till now, afraid he might come back to me. ...[/quote']All sounds like bullsh*t. Looking out the corner of your eye and having the time to look in someone's eye and also have the time to realise that they are trying to kill you???? Ja sure!!!! He should write scripts for Nollywood. The reality would be that if someone wants to wipe you out from behind in a car you will not know that it is coming - simple. More likely, from personal experience of his really sh*t (but cowardly) attitude he pissed someone off, gave them the bird and they came back to sort it out with him. He jumped off the bike and ran away thru fences etc etc and they left with his peace offering - the bike.
Napalm Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Even if he did give the driver the bird all it proves is that he has bad manners, and is possibly a ****. This wasn't a case of road rage. SA is a dangerous country, and many people carry weapons, but a panga is not a defensive weapon, and would be useless in the confines of a car in a case of hijacking. You don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
slink Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Not only is he a rude f**ker on the hub - but off the hub too. I ride in his group in races and has nothing nice to say about anyone - even swears and screams at the poor officials. He had it comming.
Napalm Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 So what? If I had to chop up everyone that is a ****, I'd be up to my neck in blood and assholes. The bottom line is that because people accept this as ok, is one of the main reasons are country is in such a f**ked up situtation.
