Just as I was making my way back to the car I could hear a lot of shouting and swearing near the little cafe on the Harbourside.
Most mornings the cafe is visited by a number of aging bikers, they arrive on big bikes, including 'Harley's' and wear appropriate biker gear, sit together and enjoy their tea and bacon butties.
Someone had upset them this morning and they were impolitely telling him to go away!
The 'offender' had obviously been enjoying his 'Carling' and had bravado beyond his common sense, so decided to take a swing at the largest biker, spraying him and those near him with said beverage!
The biker clearly had 'red mist' and chased after him ...
I stopped taking photos at this point as the drinker fell onto the tracks and I thought he had hit his head on the metal rail, (he hadn't).
The biker followed and with fist raised was clearly going to give him a pasting - between us one of the other bikers and I convinced him it wasn't worth the possible consequences.
With my hand on his shoulder and looking into his eyes, it quickly dawned on me that my actions could be viewed as rather foolhardy ... SWMBO agreed with that assessment when I got home.
Too much excitement for one day!
