Dirtbreath Posted September 3, 2008 Share Unfortunately it is not worth getting clever with these guys. I know it's all humour and all but dont be a hero. Would rather try and donate cash/parts to someone whose bike was nicked than be spending money on flowers for a hubbers funeral. Very sad world we live in.
