Moab Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 And by the way - you cannot say the f.ckers were black - that's discriminating against them on the basis of their skin colour and that makes you a racist...Next time shoot first... It is not discrimination: he was stating the colour of their skin. It is a vital part of the description of the events.
Poison Ivy Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Damn, I promised myself that I won't get angry today....there goes that idea... Really sorry to hear about this....glad you are OK, sorry about the bike !!
sias Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Moab - I know! I was being sarcastic! But in SA you can't say that...

Well, at least we know he's not color blind and stating facts! If they were white he would've called them white b@st@rds!!
Moab Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Moab - I know! I was being sarcastic! But in SA you can't say that... Hehe... but I disagree and think you can say that Blinking buggers!! May they get a rather bad case of 3rd leg leprosy!
Delgado Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Moab - I know! I was being sarcastic! But in SA you can't say that... Sias I'm with you on this one and SA is nothing more than a f*cking joke!!
Minion Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I'm sorry to hear about the hijacking, but glad you're OK. I live in the Parkview area and a number of my clubmates follow those routes to get to our club rides so I'm interested in the details of what happened. Whereabouts on Rustenburg Road did this occur? The part where it goes round Melville Koppies, just before joining Barry Herzog, or the other side of Carlow where it goes past the park? Which direction were you heading in? Have you reported it to the Parkview police? They are one of the more effective and proactive police precincts in Gauteng, so something will likely get done about this.
Turk182 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 If you are coming from emmerentia dam, you climb a hill past the school, go through the robots and then drop down a hill towards barry herzog, take an immediate right turn at the bottom and go through an S bend. Come to a set of lights, if you go right it's a steep climb to Auckland park, if you go left you will go over a bridge to the back of parkview golf course, i went straight and came to another right bend in the road, on the left is an open field leading to the storm water drains and i got taken on the bend... hope this helps
Chris Joubert Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Sorry to hear about this mate! I plan on using my bicycle to commute to work, but reading posts like these gives me second thoughts. I will use the same route, at roughly the same time every day, so the f@ckers will know my routine, if I stick to the main roads I will probably be knocked over by a car/truck/taxi/ou tannie with blue hair in a Mazda. Eish, dont own a gun, I dont trust myself with one, so I guess I have to make a plan to mount my axe on my bike... Fookers!
TTWinter Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 that really sucks, thats basically the route i ride and i have only been cycling for 3 months in JHB, so looking for a group ride that i counld keep up with but no budget to join a club after buying the bike and everything esle that goes with cycling

That's just great, now everyone thinks cyclists carry wads of money around. Wonder if riding with knuckle dusters will work. One hikacking is enough for one lifetime.
