I visited Copenhagen about 10 years ago and stayed on Vesterbrogade

It was ridiculously expensive city even then.

One of my favorite cities

[jingorex]

i went there to play in Rugby tourney back in 2005ish when i was in the Army in europe.

about halfway through the day our match was interrupted by some kids on a motorcycle being chased by the cops and they took them straight across the pitch we were on and over about 3 others before the cops stopped their chase and let the go.

had a blast in christiania afterwards with the british team. i almost got raped by a big girl from the german female team but it worked out.

Sounds like some teenagers on a scooter? In Denmark you can get a scooter at age 16 that is limited to 30 km/h, but many people tune those fuckers up so they go 70+ and that's obviously illegal and that often leads to chases with the police.
Done it myself lol when i was like 16-17.
