People who just can't resist touching things....

Need to have a rant about it...

6pm I pulled up to see the g/f, parked the bike outside her building on the main street here in Whangas. Came out and put on my helmet etc. and went to start the bike.... hang on!!... Some F$@K%R has decided it's his right to have a sit on my bike, and fiddle with my mirrors and the kickstart lever. Immediatley jump off and inspect the rest of the bike to make sure I don't crap off down the road. Nothing else was moved or damaged by the looks. Man that pissed me off. As far as I'm concerned they might as well have put her on her side and pissed off.

And you know what I reckon, if it were a bloody GSX-R 600 or a ZX6R or whatever, then they probably wouldn't have touched it.



Anyone else had their ride parked in town, and come back to find some wanker couldn't keep their hands to themselves?

I have to (unfortuantely) park my bike outside and I use to quite often come to ride off and find the mirrors pissed about with.

People are stoopid & that sux!

I often find the mirrors out of whack when parked in town. The telling sympton will be a scooter parked next to the bike, since it appears scooter riders are programmed to park too close to be able to leave their ride without nudging mine.

Here is a funny story about exactly that.....

KiwiDan and I went to the Botanical Gardens to meet his partner (we were rubbing in the fact we were riding and she was working). Well, as all good bikers - we parked the bikes up next to the cafe in the pedestrian area and wander in. I get a drink and decide to go outside and drink it. What do I find when I come out - some fuckwit of a guy - putting his kid on KD's bike. I duly start to stride over - by then he has pulled the kid off, however before I get there - the kid grabs the pipes straight out of the manifold on my bike.....well fuck me......burnt was not half the issue.

The parent starts to lecture me about the hot pipe blah blah blah. I listened and then asked him for his car keys. He asked why. I politely told him so I could climb all over his property like his kid did on the bike and kindly informed him that it wouldn't have happened if he respected other peoples property. I did use copious swear words however.

Some people have no idea. Felt sorry for the kid tho - mate - he must have lost all the skin on the palm of his hand.

I get people playing with the gears on my bike while it's parked outside of school. Not a big inconvieniance but how would they like it if I were to hop into their car and have a play with the gears?

I can't believe the guy had the nerve to lecture YOU. Man some people...

On my old scooter I have had people play with the mirrors a couple of times. Once someone stole one of the floor mat's, I spent ages looking for it to no avail GRRR .

My dad had had someone cut the HT Lead to one of the clyinders. It was a 4cyl so he managed to get it home on 3 cylinders.

The people who mess with other peoples property, steal stuff and vandalise things should get a royal kick in the nuts.

If you had a different bike they still would of messed with it. Some dick jumped on my MV F4 when it was parked outside a shop once. When he got off it it fell over because the sidestand had come up. Wanker!!

[FROSTY:Me]

dang wkkd I feel for that kid-- Not his fault mum n dad are idiots.
I guess because Ive got a kid myself i'm a bit more tollerant of the kid on bike bit. Actually I'd most likely have put the kid on my bike and shown him the controls and stuff.
I figure that theyre the next generation of bikers

Yeah, if they'd come looking for the owner of the bike first & asked permission!

Wkid - I wouldn't have asked for the keys. I would have just asked where his car was & gone and sat all over the bonnet/boot/roof & made sure to slide around a bit so there was some nice scuffs in the paint job.

Matthew - hope insurance sorted that out. I know from personal experience just how much damage can be done to a bike if it's knocked off the side stand.

Luckily, I've never had it happen to me.

Someone wrote "clean me" on my plate the other day

[White trash]

Had a parent abuse the shit out of me after his kid knocked over a GS1200SS in the shop by climbing up on the R/H footpeg. The look on this kids face as the ol' Suzi came up and over was hilarious.

Then the old man starts ranting, all the while I'm laughing at him.

Then we sent the silly prick an invoice for the broken mirror.

Back in my Harley riding days in Aussie I was having a feed with some mates in the Seaview Hotel in Townsville, we watched this drunk stagger out of the pub, sit on my bike and start twisting the throttle making brmm brmm noises. Myself and my mates wandered outside and snuck up on him. We all stood next to the guy and just asked him what the f**k he thought he was doing. He just about wet his pants when he was confronted by four big Harley riding types and took off running, no harm done. Of course if this happened now I'd have to think seriously about locking the idiot up for Unlawful Interference.

My wife bought me an alarm for my RG250F which had a 108dB siren attached to a mercury motion detector. I could hear it two stories up and 100m away, and one day after it went off I came out to find a size 10 running shoe caught by the laces on the kick start. I laughed until I cried.

It used to go off every couple of days outside work though. I can't understand by what rationale people think they can muck about with other people's property like that.
