I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not the only one complaining, and the matter has been touched on previously by another resident in the\u00a0Middelburg Observer\u2019s<\/i>\u00a0letters page.
\nQuite frankly I\u2019m too scared to address the guilty bikers personally and I\u2019m also unsure whether the local traffic department doesn\u2019t feel the same.<\/p>\n
Is it really necessary to revv your motorcycle into the red, speed up and down and keep the entire town awake at night?
\nWhy does it have to be late night and predawn when bikers pull their shenanigans?<\/p>\n
After a hard day\u2019s work, many of us desperately need a good night\u2019s rest.
\nSome bikers have no respect for the community in which they live.<\/p>\n
End of the month, half month, Wednesdays, Sundays; they just don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s especially bad on Sunday mornings when the gangs pull out for the so-called breakfast runs, at speed three times that of the allowed limit.
\nThey drive well in excess of 120km in 60km zones, often popping wheelies and burnouts in the centre of town.<\/p>\n
Bikers leaving pubs like Tracers and the old reservist canteen concern me deeply because it means alcohol has been consumed before the bikers go on their loud, merry way.
\nSpeed, alcohol and a false sense of bravado make these bikers an unbearable nuisance.<\/p>\n
Can the traffic department please do their work!<\/p>\n
