Better yet, build a tennis ball cannon!

I am not talking about anything illegal like many other posters here. Not traps, no nails, no tennis ball cannons. Just a car moving backwards in a driveway will slow a bike waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down.

All bikers pay attention to that.

As for the other ideas, I would hang with bikers before murderers! Even those that attempt manslaughter leave me a bit jumpy. Of course if you are throwing it away and going to the big house, I guess attempted murder is better, than speeding.

Well I suppose if you're going to take all the fun out of it... :wink:

Actually, is there anything on the books that would prohibit a citizen from creating their own speed bumps. I'm thinking a couple of bags of quickcrete and some yellow paint would do the job.

I could be wrong but it seems that our biker must read or knows someone who reads the deck. He was showing up consistently for a while and I haven't seen him since my post. Make no mistake - I can hear him a few blocks away, but he's not on Arthur.

The saran wrap idea must've scared him away.

I thought I heard him. Let's try to get his plate and take Dave's suggestion.

I seriously want to open one of our second floor windows and throw eggs at all the vehicles that speed down our street like it is mini I90, blair their radios all hours of the day, and rev those loud motorcycles and diesel pick up trucks. Not to mention the other rude drivers who empty their ash trays and throw trash on our tree lawns while waiting for the light.

I will keep an eye open and a pen and paper ready for our motor cycle hot rod!

God is my witness!

Last night around 11:30 a police call went out.

"Saran Wrap strung across a road." As I prepared to call Suzanne's lawyer to help bail her out and start a defense fund. It became clear it was a Rocky River call!

whew!

Jim -

If you were referring to me hissing in bushes you are wrong.

I would jump from the bushes - start screaming in my verrrrrrry loud voice and scare the you know what out of him so that he would be too scared to come back :twisted:

Last I heard he was on McKinley. However, it's been a quiet couple of days.

Well, we had a positive sighting of a YELLOW crotch rocket heading south on McKinley this morning around 8:40am. Young caucasian male. Brown clean cut hair. No helmet. He went by so fast there was no possible way to even get one letter/number of the licenses plate.
