There is also a large regular meeting at a place called Bassetts Pole of motor cyclists, hundreds at a time, they chase madly up and down the local roads doing tricks etc. Believe me it can be a nightmare if you are in the area. Only the other week an innocent bye stander was killed.Bassetts Pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT VERY FUNNY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Can't say I've experienced that round here personally, but the A47 on a sunday there's always loads of them :ninja: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Just read your post andsome.Yes I know that place very well from the day's when I had my Transport Company running. I had no idea that sort of thing went on in that area.In Washington when we lived there, up till 1991, there was 1000 car thefts per month and the majority of them were just joy riders. The trouble was when they were through for the night instead of leaving the car they used to burn them out to get rid of prints and any trace that could lead the Police to them. You could guarantee the Police helicopter from Northumberland was out over Washington every night for hours on end but the actual number that were caught was minimal.I'm sorry to read that an innocent bystander was killed. It's up to the Police to put and end to this sort of thing, although I realise it's more difficult done than said. One of the problems is they will just relocate to another venue.

djohn Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Just had to double check that road on autoroute Gandalph as I can see the A47 from my front window and I live in Norwich. It must lead up to near where you live then? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
