A$holes touching parked bikes

[mitchilin]

I used to come out of the pub at closing and find big puddles of piss all over my RD250LC.That used to really piss me off.At least ice cream isn't offensive.

in wellington afew years ago parked the bike in town on a park and even feed the meter,came back half an hour later to find a tosser double parked and shifting the zuk,asked him "what the fluck he was doing",he said he was just moving it along so he could park his car .he parked else where....

It ticks me off too, why can't they just look and not touch we don't put greasy hand prints over their cars so why can't they keep their damn hands in their bloody pockets, we pay good money to enjoy these machines not to have someone that dosen't respect them to f@#k them up.

WTF... if I court someone moving my bike for that he'd be parking elsewhere to.

Yes, got to hate people touching my bike...without consent. get a real buzz when people just stop in the street and admire it though.
The worst case involving my bike was...about 4 months ago not long after i'd got the balius...Doing the teenager thing, was at a party in Oamaru and at about 1 in the morning (was well sober) decided I was going to shift it in2 the driveway of the place I was at due to drunken idiots wandering around the street. So went down the road, and what did I find??? some random girl sittn on the tank, and her rather intoxicated bf on the seat makn out... totally not cool.

Couple of years back I was having a coffee outside at a restaurant right across from the beach at Mount Maunganui. Watched a couple of chicks (mid-20's) in bikinis walk up from the beach, one throws her leg over my harley and grabs the controls, showing her mate how to ride a big bike I s'pose.

The bike was parked on the grass and was still on the stand (I checked) so I keyed the remote start button on my bike remote. The bike fires up instantly (it was still hot), she screams and drops her right leg to the ground, scalding it against the pipes in the process, then falls over clutching her leg.

I wandered over, lighting a smoke on the way, and casually asked if it was her bike. After the inevitable answer I told her NEVER touch somebody elses' bike. I then pointed my remote at the bike and reset the alarm.

When she realised I was the owner I got a right serve about being "dangerous" and responsible for badly burning her leg. I pointed at the seat and told her next time she decided to touch my bike it might be a good idea to go to the toilet BEFORE doing so!

Having said that, I doubt she'll do it again.

I've had it happen twice in recent times! On both occasions I'd just done the big clean and polish on the day. They were both Asian mothers putting their todlers on the seat and then the hands go straight on the tank! Does piss me off - I can relate. They think it's all great fun till they see your grumpy face yelling at them from across the road and then it's all "very sorry"........To be honest though, I'm normally more worried about the little kid burning themselves on the pipes - tad warm and exposed on my bike!

I also saw a nice Vmax streetfighter coming home from work today. The rider was in a cafe over the road and I stopped to get a couple of picutres of it.

To be considerate, I pointed to my phone and to his bike, signalling that I wanted to take a photo of it. He gave me a friendly wave and then came over. Just told me about the bike and not to take any photos of the number plate (personalised too).

Was I being too considerate to ask to take pictures?

I think this is being courteous and considerate. Both parties being considerate with each other. Nothing wrong with that. And nothing wrong with admiring a nice bike.

It does work both ways, I bet most car owners have had other car doors smashed into their car before, leaving nice marks/dents.

... (ay boomer your foot was a bit too close for my liking the other day )

Don't resist the urge, fighting it will make it worse; go with the flow and give me THE GODDAM Keys gal

And how many spares have you got, just in case your 'workmate' is more vindictive than you and doesn't take kindly to having his tyres vandalised by some streak of piss redneck?

I'd say you'd more likely cry to Uncle Mom that someone touched your dirty old shitter.

I don't understand why people get so fuckin upset if someone touches their bike?? If you park it in public then it's a risk you have to accept.

I'm not saying it's right or that people should be doing it but it happens and if no damage is done then why cry about it?

Kids will touch big shiney objects that go vroom vroom, it's part of the fascination.

Thats good to know, I must confess, I jizzed on your seat last week. sorry.

[slinky]

can't remember where either.
but i come outside to get on my bike, and some foreign guy is lying on it, face down, facing the rear end of the bike, having a smoke and talking to his friends.
he sees me and just casually gets off and carry's on talking to his mates.
i didn't know wtf to do. i was 16-17, i just ignored it and road off.
but yeh i mean WTF!!!
i wouldn't dare touch someone else car, let alone bike!

This happens all the time on my scooter - there are stuff all motorbike parks in this town, but if I use a car park, someone will move my bike and use the park. Once in Palmerston North, I parked up and fed the meter. Came back an hour later to find my bike on the footpath, with a bloody parking ticket for parking on the footpath. Couldnt be sure the car in my park belonged to the person who moved my bike, but I was wild. (I'm blessed with a bad temper lol but if I had been able to prove it...)
