not sure if this sort of thing has been dizcussed in another thread/set of posts, but here's a little overview of one interesting thing that happened tonight...
at about 8:30-ish kyle, ehab, hassan and myself were at the carpark, as usual, and were readying to leave. a friend of ours, who's learning to ride, decided to jump onto ehab's gsx (the white demon whale-bike), and run a few laps around the car park. - now most of us have done this (i know i did it as my means of getting my daily fix of motorbiking till i balls'd up to take my bike home), so u can understand that it's a "perfectly normal, natural thing". - god love the american pie movies. it's one of the few things the yanks have done right!
so anyway, as u all know, ehab's gsx haad kyle's old fzr's can on it, and so is somewhat louder than a normal bike...(just a little). haha. so as our friend was doing his laps, he caught the attention of a certain "passer bye". yes, our good friend, the security guard - who'll clearly only come to the car park when a muffler is making a lot of noise, but never in a million years, think twice about an alarm shrieking it's little batteries to death!..., dumass dip-shit, loser punk who has no life.... mumble mumble*.
now i undestand that the guard could've had a really rough day. a lot of stupid kids being all smart-arse about anything, just to piss others off. so, i sympathise, but what he did, was a bit un-called for.
haha, now back to the point...guard comes down, and tells us off for useing the car park to teach our friend how to ride, or for letting him practice in there. he "politely" - *cough!!, LIES!! - cough**cough* - suggested that we use teh main road for such lessons, as it was causing many disturbances where we were. sure, ppl are around uni at half 8, but really, the car park was virtually empty. most of the ppl around ater 8 are getting drunk at shads! or are too far away to hear anything...
back to the story.. so he tells us to turn off the engine becoz it's making noise - fair call. then he says we shouldn't hang around the car park, but should just start up the bike and ride on out straight away. now this is where ehab started to explain how the bike needs to warm up before being taken out, and how it coul cause serious engine damage... etc etc. and i gotta say. props to ehab for being so patient with the guy. he explained it really calmly and nicely. but no... the guard will "have none of that crap in his car park!"
the guard was like.. "that's absolute rubbish! i've seen ppl just start up a bike, hop on, and ride off! don't lie to me about starting it up and warming it up" he then points to prudvi's (hope i spelt that right) bandit which at this point was n the side, running, and warming up. he'd joined us a bit earlier and was on the side. he says "turn that off as well!"
again ehab was like "he's warming it up. the bike can't run when it's cold". but no... the guard didn't believe it! after all, cars can drive off right away, why should bikes be any different. and what the hell's so different between this fue injected bike nonsense and the carb ones! who gives a shit they run, so get them out now!" - well, that's the sorta mentality he had going anyway.
ehab suggested he then check it up online. no, he didn't want to hear it and then decided it a good point in time to say "look, if u keep this up, i'll get all your parking here take away!". he then walks along the corridoor, towards teh prayer rooms... stops facing hassan's bike along teh fence and says "this shouldn't be here! ure in teh way. and sometimes ppl park on the side there too. it's in the way. i can get it towed away! don't park there". he clearly ddn't notice the difference in colours of paint marking the floor. the white is parkable, yellow's not... - he's possbly senile, and colour blind, so again, well forgive him!
haha, of course, it's not just over yet. prudvi finds this exact moment the perfect one to run up tp kyle's honet and rev teh shit out of it! the security guard gets even more pissed off and is like stop doing that! i told u it's making noise". hahaha... very right, and totally uncalled for - the engine revving - but we had to stick to our guns, and so hassan says " no man, u see, we've gotta warm it up, and so taking it around in circles or revving it is the best way to do that" .. u can't go riding at a high speed on a cold engine! so u need to warm it up at low speeds in a safe environment!... hahah... (right?)
haha... so that's tonight's string of fun filled, power tripping, unknowledged guards who have nothing better to do but tell us off... again, we weren't rude or anything - jsut a few cheeky moments, that had to be made under the circumstances, obviously!
so, what says u all? any additions to this rant? im just posting this up as a favour to ehab. haha. plus it was a really funny moment!
