Excuse me sir, why are you taking pictures of my bike?

[gatch]

but on a more serious note, wire a little switch into your horn circuit so if the ignition is turned your horn doesn't stop.

then waste the cunt as he/she tries to figure out what that bastardly sound is

[Blackshear]

a practice you are familiar with perhaps?

It might just be he liked the bike and liked it from those angles.
Did ye not think about going out and walking up to him and asking him what his purpose was?

I was somewhat perplexed at the fact someone took pictures of my bike. Was also in a big rush trying to get shit done before 12. Didn't realize 'till after the possible severity of this amateur photographer.

Although my bike is purdy, the way he walked was just... Well. Like he knew it was there already, and deviated not from a walking line, as a normal pedestrian would, to then take a photo after deviating. I dunno. Might ask the mechanic lads next door iffin I can be parking in their staff parks.

There is no law against photograhing someones vehicle. To the guy who would "smash" this guy - you have major issues. Seek help dude.

[LBD]

I have got used to the photos...

But if I was on a 19 year old BANDIT 250....yup I would be wondering/worring as well

Do you mean a similar circuit one would use as a second kill switch? That sounds like a bloody fantastic idea to me. Might actually get onto something like that...

He wants the side pic to take home and wank off over. The number plate is just to avoid fucking the same bike twice - puts it in his database etc..

Steve

Funny how some people jump right to wanking - you thought of seeing someone to help with that little problem?

[swbarnett]

regardless if it was a piece of crap or the finest machine in the world, I would have bollicked him and then reported him for taking a pic without your permission, at least then he'd have to front up pretty quickly as too why he was snapping your bike.

If the photographer stands on public property they can legally shoot what they like.

It sounds like this guy was on private property (albeit commercial premises)?

hmmm... dat uneasy feeling.
Do you usually get to park it somewhere where you can see it though ie; like you can observe such behaviors?

It is parked out front of the store. Unsure as to where the line is drawn, though. There are no carpark markings where it is, and it's about 2.5-3m from the footpath. This would be interesting to calrify for future purposes.

Yes. I was inside the store, at the back, and had a fairly unobstructed view of my bike. If a person was crouching next to it, that would be a different story.


Cheers for the ideas, ladles and jellyspoons. I will be disc-locking it at the very least tomorrow morning, and moving it if possible.

I'm glad my bike is noisy. It's a security measure in itself. Doesn't provide more than 2 seconds warning anyway, but still.

Do you work in Como street????

Sounds like it

Errrr... Uhm. YOU can vouch for the 'aura' of where it's parked!

[mattian]

I came out of the supermarket once and found some Indian fella taking pics of my bike with his cell fone...... he saw me approaching and gave me a huge smile. I said, you can take a picture of your missus sitting on it if you like! she was a real cutie but, she was too shy. He just wanted some pics of a cool looking bike to show some of his mates. I didn't have a problem with that. He was in love with my bike..... I could tell.

Should've asked if he'd consider a straight swap

For an unbiased answer, ask me whilst working, and ask me whilst riding

haha, do you really think he is going to tell you? Like, its a bit embarrasing really isn't it? "I'm going to GO HOME and WANK OFF over it. Are you like, HAPPY now?"

LOL
