Default Fishing lines & intersections don't mix!

Can't believe the type of person would do this:

UPDATE: A male motorcyclist on his way to work suffered serious injuries Sunday afternoon after he was cut by fishing wire strung across an east end intersection.
Initial reports said the man suffered a serious laceration to the neck and significant blood loss in the Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East area.
The man has been transported to hospital for treatment.
Warden Avenue is currently closed at St. Clair Avenue East.

Yeah, that's messed up.

I know a guy who wrecked out because a bunch of kids made a line of big rocks across the road.

I figured you did.
I wish you weren't so far, Steve. We'd have a blast for sure. It would be just like a bad biker movie. lol...

I remember as a kid riding trail bikes, farmers use to string wire between tree's to stop bikers trespassing. Was bloody scary leading so most the time i stayed at the back.

Yeah lets hope that's one trend that doesn't spread, idiots.
Ah yes, "Stone" the movie. There is an excellent dual between a very tasty Norton & the Kwaka (done around North Sydney). The Gravediggers pub was located in Balmain (no longer a pub) but they filmed a lot of the outside scenes in Riverstone & Windsor in NSW. Had a friend who's claim to fame was falling of his bike in one of the big "Bikie" scenes (they kept it in, low budget I guess). Kwaka 900's, the bike of choice for the iconic "Hoon".
