Scooter Gang Cannot Sit on Mopeds

I saw this article on the Camden New Journal website. The headline says:

Scooter Asbo kids Caught on Facebook
THREE members of a teenaged scooter gang who posted footage of their exploits on Facebook and Myspace were banned from sitting on a moped for two years by a youth court on Monday.

I don't mean to minimize any of the antics that the gang may have done, but I hope that the judge was more savvy in his ruling than than the article hints. If kids were committing crime on a scooters I'm sure they would be happy to agree to stay off of mopeds.

Scooter Girl Kicks Ass

I was rolling with laughter when I read the story about the 18-year old South African scooterist who helped capture 2 robbers by chasing them on her scooter. Extra points for bashing one of them with her helmet! She was probably foolish, over-confident and lacking self-preservation skills, since they could have had guns or knives or machetes (GTA: Vice City taught me that!) but in hindsight I can say, "You Go Girl!" Read about it on the News24 web site.
