    @Tony Hanratty: They go around without helmets so the Gards won’t chase them… Wouldn’t catch them anyways..
    Motorbikes have taken over from horses in council estates as the new thing for lads to drive around on all day, and local petrol stations will sell them fuel all day..

    @Robc: So you support selling fuel to young lads to rally motorbikes around estates where kids are walking around?

    @Dotty Dunleary: A bit of a leap there ? ? Why not condemn Air Fungus for selling air tickets to women traveling abroad for terminations .
