Stranger moving your bike?

[Pegasus]

I park my bike in plain view when I'm at work so I know exactly what people are doing near her.

Thats the thing that annoyed me most, we had parked the bikes (both within 1 empty car park, out of everyones way) where we could see them.... till the guy parked his car & trailer in the park behind them. Had he stood at his car door, and called out in a normal voice, if anyone knew who owned them and if they could move them, we were close enough so would have heard him, and wouldn't have had a problem with moving them for him at all.

But no, the first I heard was him starting his car, and I saw him moving forward instead of backing. He was pretty quiet about moving them. Almost like he knew he was doing something wrong.

I don't see the foul in moving a bike if it doesn't cause any damage, is put back and is for a good reason.

This might come as a shock but not everyone wants to fuck you over.

As said before, it's common courtesy. Don't touch shit that don't belong to you without permission. I don't see what's so difficult about that concept.

If the owner's there, sure.

Someone moves my bike while I'm at work so they can get in, if it doesn't inconvenience me, who cares?

Do you carry a fingerprinting kit or sommat?

don't ever sit on another man's bike, asshole

Sanctimonious.

Well I love it.

Sanctimonious.

Try it sometime, maybe the thrill of the few times you get away with it will make up for the one time you don't.

Mess with the wrong person's bike, or car, or any of their property without permission and you just might get hurt.

It's not that hard to keep your hands to yourself is it?

What next? Wanna feel up my missus too?

So they can get in being the point. If you park in s stupid place, like in front of a gate/door/entrance/fire hydrant then you should expect to be moved.

When parked in a legitimate and rightful spot then nobody should be messing with your shit. Whether you are there or otherwise.

OP should have asked the guy what happened to the gold watch that was strapped to the handlebars, cos now it's missing...

It's not about thrills, it's about sharing the world with other people.

If I parked my bike across your driveway and shot off, I would expect you to move it without my permission. So what's the difference?

If someone's going to move your bike or anything without stealing, it will generally be for convenience, not malicious intent. Why so insecure?

Lastly, I bet your missus loves that you think of her as your property.

I don't think of her as my property. I meant without her permission, not without mine. None of the situations mentioned by other posters have included the scenario of the motorcycle being parked anywhere other than where it is rightfully entitled to be.

There was no valid reason for the person in the OP to move those two bikes. Howe did they know there wasn't a bike alarm fitted? Would they have been happy to have set it off and leave it going to possibly flatten the battery or inconvenience the owner to come back from who knows where to shut it off?

I suspect that you are just trolling now and that's fine. If my bike is parked somewhere that it is entitled to be and I come back and find somebody sitting on it, or moving it, I'm not sure whether they would get a smack in the chops or not, but it is a distinct possibility. Like the OP, the smack is just as likely to come from the Moll as me.

I have already said a number of times that if a bike is blocking an entrance etc then there is no reason not to move it.

One of the problems with society today IMO is that idiots look for any reason to be able to tutoo with shit that doesn't belong to them, rather than keeping their hands to themselves.

edit:
PS If you parked your bike across my driveway I'd probably run it down rather than move it. Like you said it's about sharing the world with others and recognising and respecting their property.

I reckon he just felt that since he wasn't invading the internal space of a vehicle he was within his rights to do so. I'd have let him have it with both guns blazing. Simply because he didn't want to have to back out???? What a nerve!!!

Completely agree!

I have to ask Maha quite often to move my bike as I have parked somehwere really stupid and cant get it out again nch:

...try backing a trailer from their parks....is fun for sure...

Not a chance, and only amusing for those watching if I am doing the reversing

Is that the first time tutoo been used?

I think is a reasonable expectation that a parked bike/car/boat/trailer/camper/private jet be left alone unless a reasonable excuse is offered up.

I remember this debate when a thread started about picking up someones fallen bike, no real solutions came out of that one either.

I'd bet you'd be pretty pissed off to come back to your bike to find it on it's side with the tank dented, pipes scratched & the clown that did it saying oh how sad. I can't pay for any damage cos I'm an unemployed bum. $$$$$

Or the situation I had a few months ago, when I came round a corner to find 'Daddy" with his little snotgobblers perched on MY FUCKING BIKE TO HAVE THEIR PIC'S TAKEN . Daddy was told to piss off & not touch my property or he would be in lot of pain.

My statement didn't reference the OP. If there wasn't a good reason it still stands.

If they're moving it for no reason, then obviously they need a talking to. Generally you'll find that there is a reason for moving a bike. Shit if an ambulance needed your space to get to someone in need would you berate them as well for not asking?

Obviously an extreme but what you're really trying to say is that you don't want people touching your bike regardless of whether it's to convenience themselves without permission.

What I'm trying to say is that if someone moves my bike and doesn't damage it, is for a reason (ie getting somewhere) that doesn't inconvenience me then -> all good. Who cares?

Yup, that's bullshit. Hope that dude got a smack.

This one I'm less sympathetic to, sad guy. Yeah if they're fucking around with it, castrate that shit but if they just want a pic, why go postal?

I see your beef in that it's your property but I think a lot of people react in the wrong way. No wonder people think motorcyclists are cunts.
