Stranger moving your bike?

**Owl** · 23rd April 2011, 16:15

Not having a moan as such, but just curious how other KB'ers feel about a complete stranger moving their bike?

Partner and I had our bikes parked at Manfeild today, in a position that wasn't in anyone's way, or blocked in etc. However after we'd parked, some guy decided to park his car behind us with a trailer in tow. This guy then decided he wanted to take off, so moved both our bikes (steering locked) in order to drive straight through without reversing.

We never witnessed it, but while back at our bikes, the same guy turns up and parks in exactly the same spot. How do I know?............cause I asked him

. Yes he said, he moved our bikes because he couldn't get out. I asked him WTF gave him the right to move someones bike or even touch it. It's not like he had to park there!

Anyway, I didn't see the point in two of us ranting at once, so I let the Missus hone him out. She was more angry than me after all.

What would he have done if it were a car we'd parked? Parked elsewhere I bet!

What if he'd dropped one of the bikes?

What happened to leaving other people's shit alone without permission?

Am I being a Nana?

Should have asked him to leave the handbrake off so you can move his car while you get your bikes out.

Unless your bike is parked in some stupid place blocking people nobody should be touching it.

no your not being a nana, someone touching your bike is like hes touching your missus, you have every right to be upset and want to cause him some harm. unless ofcourse, your parked somewhere you shouldnt be.

That's what I reckon and if he'd been parked there when we arrived, we would have parked elsewhere.

I would be ropable! Nay. Apoplectic!

Some lazy tool moving a bike with the steering lock on is a small step from disaster.

By the same logic you could shunt him out the way with yer landcruiser.

Cock!

Having trouble drawing the layout in my head, but the only time someone should move your bike without you there is if it's in front of a door or fire hydrant.

Your own fault if you park it somewhere stupid, IMO.

Had some cunt awhile ago test that $1 dick polish on my bike without me even there, saw what was happening and BY CRIKEY I scared the useless twat.
Don't touch my babies

Crivens! Was it polish for your dick or polish applied with a dick?

It was that multi-purpose polish. I assume it's so you can polish your dick while you're polishing with your dick.
Quite nifty once I you think about it...

Well if you had jumped into his wagon, started it up and moved because it wasn't convenient for you, would he have accepted that as reasonable? Well no. So his action was reprehensible and your reaction reasonable.

no you arent being a nana. If I catch someone moving my bike, theyre going to have one angry motherfucker to deal with.
As far as Im concerned, its exactly the same as a starnger getting into your car, and moving it. exactly the same.
Difference being, bikes can easily sustain thoasands of dollars worth of damage if moved wrongly, e.g. they move it and put it down, but they dont check the stand and it topples over, or in a windy city, putting it somewhere the wind can catch it, or putting it the wrong way round on a slope etc etc etc.

No, youre not being a nana. id have ripped seven shades of shit out of the guy, and made it REAL clear what the consequences are for moving my bike
