Why do so many dickheads expect to be allowed to sit on your bike...

[Max Preload]

for a photo when it's parked somewhere in public? Do these same fucktards also expect to just be allowed to jump into someone's car for a photo too? How about a convertible, parked and unattended - do they just help themselves?

Again tonight, I had to tell a couple of cocksmokers they weren't getting a photo of themselves on my bike no matter how they begged but they were free to go and buy their own fucking bike and take as many photos of them sitting on it as they liked. In the past I've said "Sure - you can sit on my bike and put your grubby mitts all over it as long as if I can do the same to your girlfriend" but these two plonkers tonight didn't have any women with them.

This sort of shit never used to happen. What changed? I suspect a loss of respect for other peoples property. We started down the slippery slope of actions without consequences when corporal punishment in schools was stopped - it's only going to get worse as the undisciplined generation ages, what with this anti-smacking bill bullshit.

You just don't fuck with another man's (or woman's for that matter) automobile. That's all there is to it.

[Taz]

I've never been asked that before. Where do you hang out??

[deanohit]

No one wants to sit on my bike, wonder why? :whistle:

But yea, know what you mean, my mum used to get so pissed off with people just hopping into her T-Bucket hotrod years back, got back one day and found some ones heels or something had scratched the leather seat.:angry2:

[The Pastor]

i dont mind if people touch my bike. its when they break it i get angry

[janno]

Cos they want to sit where I have placed my nether regions?

Seriously, I've never had anyone ask cos maybe my bike is only cool in my eyes :whistle:, but I think I'd be quite happy for the first few times, but then the novelty would wear off.

Or else I would perhaps be tolerant, thinking that I was fostering new bike addictions. I don't know. Would no doubt depend on if I had PMT or not. . .

[Blue Thunder]

Most of the jerkoffs that ask to park their sweaty arses on bikes, have NEVER owned one of their own. Maybe they just want to get a fell for wearing leather:jerry:

[Kendog]

That would really piss me off as well, have not had it happen yet (that I know of)

[Grahameeboy]

What do you expect at 3 in the morning.....

[DMNTD]

Have had a fair few ask and I've always said yes...to date.
I actually take it as a compliment TBH :sunny:

However...sit on my bike without asking gets a whole new reaction :nono:

[Grub]

FFS, I'd want to check your bike out as myself, there's clearly a burr under your saddle.

Nobody's ever asked and it wouldn't be a problem. If they love the idea of a bike and want to try one for size, just to get the "feeling" why would I want to stop them? Spread the word and hope more join the happy KB and biking communities.

So if this is happening to you after midnight in places where there's lots of very pissed people, then the fault is yours. You're f*g nuts to leave your bike anywhere near those places, you're asking for trouble. Oh ... I get it, you like trouble?

[oldguy]

I don't have a problem with that, the most important thing is they asked.
Its nice to know people think I have a nice e nuff bike that they want to sit on it.:cool:
I use to have a sticker on my tank: If you value your life as much as i value this bike don't F**k with it.:nono::bash:

[McJim]

I was at the Burt Munro Rally and a fella came up and started asking if Ducati ownership was really as big a financial pain in the arse as everyone makes out. Guy was an Alfa Romeo fan so I told him what I thought of Ducatis and my financial experience of them. He didn't ask and seemed a respectful kind of fella so I got off my bike and offered him a seat to see what he thought.

Most non bikers see my bike and assume it's like $30,000 worth (it's worth about $6,000 but that's only coz it's a minter) so they usually don't even breathe on it....also I'm a big angry fella from Glasgow which seems to put people off a bit too.....

happens all the time with t buckets kids climbing over it and parents standing saying nothing they get the desired reaction from owner hasnt happened with scooter

[The Stranger]

Lighten up, it's only a motorbike.

[jrandom]

Nobody ever wants to sit on my bike.

I think I'd be flattered...

:confused:

Had a great moment on the motorway on the K1200RS the other day, just pootling along past a convertible with a couple of young boys in the back. Their heads followed me and they waved madly as I overtook.

I would have pulled a wheelie for them, but the K's a shaft drive. Shafties can't wheelie, you know. It's physics.

Another test ride?

[Laava]

Cargo and I hired a Hog in Vegas and parked it at a nat park to go for a short walk. These travelling latin types asked if they could sit on it for a photo. I said no prob and then when we got back from our walk 10 min later they were still taking photos! They apologised but I just was laughing.
No-one has ever asked to sit on the V Strom:laugh:

[Scouse]

I would have pulled a wheelie for them, but the K's a shaft drive. Shafties can't wheelie, you know. It's physics.Dont write off a shaftys ability to wheelie so easily did you watch the long way round?

[davereid]

Im happy if people ask..

Kids can be the worst, ice cream and lollie sticky-fingers everywhere.

The hog was OK, lots of the shiny chrome bits got really hot, and the sticky fingers were rapidly removed, but the ER6 doesn't really have an exhaust system to teach that lesson !

[crashe]

It ain't just a bike.......... it is your pride and joy.
Your hard earned cash has gone into buying your bike.
Why the hell should people be able to go and jump on someone's bike and put it at risk of it falling over. That costs US money to repair it cos they take off after damaging it.

I sure don't want filthy grubby mits all over the bike after spending hours cleaning her.

You don't just go jumping into their car or on the rooof of it....

Why.

Cause you show blardy RESPECT for their possessions.


It comes down to damn lack of respect for another person's property.

If I say it is ok then thats fine otherwise stay the hell away from my bike.




Oh and if I ever find the arsewipe that did what they did to my bike recently.
Gawd help them....... they wont be friggen walking for a very long time.
Plus they will be digging deep into their pockets and bank account.

[jrandom]

Read my Mouldy Strudel review; the K's me mate's bike.

And 'shafties can't wheelie, cos of physics' is just an old running joke on uk.rec.motorcycles that I parrot occasionally for my own private amusement...

[Steam]

I saw some teenage kids on my bike once, when it was the dangerous Military GN model, and I was in a BAD mood already, ready to slay anyone who looked at me wrong. This was in the middle of Wellington at the bike park by the library,

I was in my black leather riding jacket and boots, I had just newly shaved my head, and as I strode towards them I shouted in my best vicious skinhead voice "OI YOU, GET THE FUCK OFF MY BIKE."
They left quite quickly.
and heaps of people looked around, startled.
It's convenient to look like a dangerous nazi loon sometimes. hehe, if only they knew i was actually a tofu-eating, green-voting leftie liberal.

[Pancakes]

Yeah it's not the cost of your ride it's the respect of asking and you being able to have control of your own stuff.

I let kids that ask sit on my bike but I don't really care if it's dirtied up or not,

For riders that want a test ride I would assume that they will swap for a ride and "The Rules" apply.

[Morcs]

I used to park my bike outside the westfield downtown mall.

The number of times Ive gone out for a smoko and some cunt is stood there casually leaning against was ridiculous.

Ive caught a lot of people standing next to it having their photo taking, thats ok.

I occaisionally let children jump on it for photos too.

In the end someone from HSBC and someone from the public complained saying it being parked there was a hazard to the public (tucked away in a corner), I was like WTF?! the public are a fucking hazard to my bike!:mad:

[Max Preload]

Actually it was 2am. I didn't realise the time of day made it ok.

Yeah, but that's a completely different scenario - he had a genuine question, and took an interest and you offered as opposed to making an assumptions that you'd be fine with it. And you'd also had time to assess his fuckwittedness and level of sobriety.


Lighten up, it's only a motorbike.

Lighten up? I can't be assed with deadbeats expecting to be allowed to do what they want with other peoples posessions. Admire from a distance - that's fine but risking knocking it over causing expensive repairs - they're either not thinking or inconsiderate cunts. Perhaps both.


I think I'd be flattered...

No. It's gotten very tired.

And mine being black it's a mongrel to keep clean as it is - the most anoying thing is greasy streaks on the tank.

Fuck'n spot on, Bevan.

[Coyote]

Don't fucking trust anyone near my bike. Last time I had my helmet on the helmet lock some fucking homie cut it off and stole it. No strap renders the thing fucking useless but at least they now have a prize to show off to the homie breeders so they get laid on the spot. What's more I've noticed scatches appearing on my tank when leaving it outside of school. That was the last nicely painted thing on the bike and some morons that feel compelled to sit on it have ruined it.

I've often though about getting some sort of taser system linked up to all metal surfaces on the bike to immediately paralyse any fucker that touches it. And I'll need some other system to text me so I can get to the bike before the bastard regains conciousness. I'll only go that far once I get a derego'd and blacked out '05 ZX10R (with race slicks) though.

I detect the foul stench of chinese mini chopper.

[homer]

I dont like kids full stop ,
dont go to a supermarket very often unless have to ,
dont buy anything at a supermarket that is at kids hands height,
think kids should be on those retractable leads like dogs have ive seen them with the harness on .....looks the best thing to me.
And as for the whole restraunt thing "maccas and kfc "thats where they belong i dont eat in either.

they would get a kick in the shins if they touched my bike ,

Wouldnt mind if asked, if someone wanted to sit on the bike
and then id expect to be on a ride with a group anyways .

So that would mean no kids around anyways .
They may be a TOY but there not a TOY if you get the meaning.
And then theres the risk if they touch it ,it falls over ........Then What !

I dont even let someone else fill it up at the garage....Thats mainly cause they dont fill it up correctly .

So if this slightly offends anyone that has kids ...sorry
But it shouldnt happen
I hope no one has had damage to there bike because of kids!

[Grahameeboy]

Actually it was 2am. I didn't realise the time of day made it ok.





No, however, at that time you are gonna get drunks etc and just happy people out

[Coyote]

That is a very good point... Here a lot of them hooning down a local street, I should check out what helmets they're wearing

[sunhuntin]

havent had anyone touch or sit on any of my bikes without permission. its parked within view at work, and i will abandon my job on occasion to chase or see to any kids i see hanging around or getting too close. [walking distance from several schools supplying all ages means lots of kids]
in rough wind, i have it parked under the canopy outside the shop windows. its gets spotted a lot more there, and im distracted in keeping an eye on it.

i have offered sits and rides to those that show a genuine interest. most that get offered a sit decline hastily. a close friend and my boss both know they can have the keys whenever they like, provided im not riding it at the time.

i dont worry too much about kids... i dont mind a bit of muck, and scratches only add to the character. its the dodgy dole bludging adults we get in that worry me. i worry about bits getting swiped [side covers] or else the plate details being noted and them finding my address and stealing it.

very interesting
Think it would be good to with the harley security system ......both barrels
That would keep them away

[N1CK]

Yea this happens to me at school, these people who i only sort of know will just come up and sit on my bike with out asking, or when im leaving school and warming up the bike they will come up and twist the throttle. WTF it gets really old after a year or two.

[HornetBoy]

Had my newly acquired katana parked (in the 1 specially maked motorbike park) outside the local supermarket (pack n save) and was gettin a couple of biker mags etc came out to see a couple of local homies, as they say and try to look like, wearing frickin shorts that went down to their ankles with their boxers hanging out their arse sitting on my bike and mucking around with my helmet in the helmet lock <_< they saw me coming over and looked at me as if to say "wat are you going to do " so i yelled ,in my deepest manly voice lol "get the f#uck off the bike c#unts" they stood up and migrated off giving me the west /east side bullshit hand signals .:mad: bunch off dick heads is all i have to say .(excuse my language) especially when it was still in dealership shine ya know

your paknsave has a bike park?? HELL! mine doesnt, so i park on the footpath, lol.

[imdying]

I think you would fine that the satisfaction of having the blood of some turd that touched your bike all over your boots would be well worth it... but only for a while.

[007XX]

I would have pulled a wheelie for them, but the K's a shaft drive. Shafties can't wheelie, you know. It's physics.

So, in simple maths: since you got a shaft, you can't get it up! :rofl:

Righto, dully noted...:innocent:

[deanohit]

Seen a sticker on a bike one time that said:
"I wouldn't touch your missus, so don't touch mine".
thought that was quite cool.

[jrandom]

Ya kidding right? :lol:

Of course. It's an ancient joke from uk.rec.motorcycles on USENET.

Like the Sign of the Holy Pushrods that you have to make every time someone mentions the CG125.

*makes the Sign of the Holy Pushrods*

[enigma51]

A few years ago was getting some fruit and vegs for the wife on the way back home. So came outside to see 2 kids climbing sitting on the bike So i asks them where is your mom or dad so pointed to the car next to the bike. So there old man jumps out and asks me if there is any problems. so I said no put the backpack down opened the rear door of his car and started climbing over the seats and pushing buttons and playing with the radio all sort of stuff. So of course he got upset and started swearing and go on about what the fuck do i think im doing. So just returned with a "Is there a problem?" Fuckers got his kids pretty fast of the bike.


Another one was out at mission bay.
Parked next to a car and he's kids was playing around the bike smearing sunscreen on the bike etc with there hands. Grabbed the sunscreen and starting polishing there car for them. That fucker also got upset! Espicially when is started rubbing the sunscreen into his seats just like his kids were doing!

[jrandom]

So, in simple maths: since you got a shaft, you can't get it up! :rofl:

Well, it was a German shaft, after all.

...

To address the thread's main subject, I had a small group of preschoolers wander up at Taupo track on Sunday as I was getting ready to leave, hopping with excitement. They were all about wearing my sweaty helmet and gloves and having a sit on the R1.

I fired it up in neutral for them, and the little girl on the bike reached forward and grabbed a handful of throttle (fortunately the bike was just ticking down after a few laps and everything was nice and warm). The look of pure glee that crossed her face when 140 or so horsepowers screamed at her was a sight to behold.

(If you're reading this, Steve, yes, I was pretty sure you wouldn't mind...)

It was one of the best buzzes of the day for me, particularly after mum came over and got photos of all the kids grinning hugely inside my smelly black Shoei.

In my humble opinion, guys who get grumpy about kids around their bikes are sad buggers.

[enigma51]

PS Im not a mean/big person

[enigma51]

In my humble opinion, guys who get grumpy about kids around their bikes are sad buggers.

If im there and making sure its all safe no worries. If it falls over onto them im held responsible and dont feel like dealing with that.

[jrandom]

PS Im not a mean/big person

I know, bro, I know.

:grouphug:

Absolutely agreed re. parents needing to keep their kids safe and in line when we're not there to supervise what happens around the bike. That's the responsibility of the parents, though. Can't blame the kids.

[tri boy]

If i'm not in a rush, and the folks are decent sorts, and are genuine in their interest, i will offer a seat of the pants oppotunity.
Maybe that offer helps sway a good person to take the plunge, and get into riding.
Some bloke 30yrs ago let me sit on his Triumph, and rev the engine, and thats when the affliction kicked in.:laugh:
Different story if somebody just climbs aboard. Thats when the "evil stare" makes an entry.:oi-grr:

[Finn]

I get told off for sitting on my own bike. It's usually by mothers saying "You shouldn't be playing on that motorcycle by yourself. Where are your parents?"

It sucks being a midget.

[heyjoe]

re post #41 and #42

Gutsy actions mate. I like it.
I don't think its 'mean'. Just equal and neutral. A small lesson(s) taught by actions.

Getting a shaft up isn't an issue. Its getting the bint to hold on thats an issue. ;)

It will go well with my other:
"If you think the bike is rough - you should see the owner"
