This looks classy!

A simple sign draped over the handlebars saying "Please do not touch" may work. Failing that, try one that says "I might not know anyone who will rip your fucking head off and shove it up your fucking arse, but my brother knows plenty who will do it for free".
No brain those kids for not respecting other peoples property. Use one of those alarm disc locks to scare the shit out of them....haha

Black seat? - Vegemite or Marmite will look good on their shorts for the rest of the day.

At least they didn't smash it up!, I had mine "bottled" by drunk kids @ 6-6:30pm in the work car park, smashed a bottle on the tank and left a ugly dent for me to cry over
The youth of today have absolutely NO respect for other peoples property.
The bike cover sounds like a great idea, removes temptation and keeps your pride and joy safe from the elements.

...I lean into it!
Along the electrocution lines. Run a bare wire, connected to your battery, across your grips... might work
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Shit that is similar to something that happened to me. Little boy came to touch the bike, it was a very hot summers day and I did finish a big bike ride. He put his hand on the expansion chamber to stand up and BOOM it wall all Niagra falls from there..... I did feel a bit sad for him though
Teachers should never grizzle about misbehaving children. They had the perfect solution, then voted it out of the education system. ie, the strap/cane.
If the lil shit is giving you a gob full as he walks away, then he has no respect for you, and knows you can do nothing to him.
Live with it. MHO
.....Some old fulla was lurking/looking at a Harley that was parked at Puhoi once, he walked around it, bending down having a real good look when, just at that moment, it started up. Old chap stood up quicker than he has probably done ever in his life and wandered off...
It was started by remote by the bloke owner who was about 15 mts away.
How about something like a remote control door chime like you get at Mitre 10? Put it under the bike seat. It has it's own separate battery. You press the remote whenever you want it to go off.
PB I know ya probably don't want a real solution but in my opinion you need to talk to the principle so it can be spelled out to them at the next assembily. That school will not tollerate disrespect or the possibility of the little darlings getting hurt.
I would also as suggested before put a big "KEEP OFF" sighn on the bike for the eejuts from the primary school.
(This is all based on you being at that R college still)
Incidently I can arrange for a buzz to go around the place that someones going to get susspended for it ( Via #1 son)
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
Unfortunately I know that being in the area we are, some miscreants have less than a well grounded sense of respect for aspects of civilisation.
I well recall the time I can back to find grubby hand prints over the tank of my Big Ol'Hornet. What I did was to talk to the group of senior students who normally frequent the area that if they saw anybody tampering with my bike, they had permission to whack the perpetrators. I would cover for them if anyone complained!![]()
Never had a problem after that! I do recall hearing on the grapevine when one of the seniors accidentally hit my bike with an errant kick from a rugby ball. Apparently he got dealt to with glee by the rest of his mates citing Mr.Joe's previous proclamation!
PB, I feel for you - all I can suggest is acquire another seat for your bike, customise that seat to have nothing but tacks and pins embedded into it and store it at the office. Swap them over when you arrive and more importantly, swap it back over when you are about to leave!
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"![]()
lasso a rope onto him. when you get him get on your bike and drive off. drag him along behind you. worked 200 years ago. should still work. only there will be more than 1"horse power"
I'd be interested to see if he comes back.
Teach somewhere not in South Auckland.
However I'm not sure if that would fully fix the problem.
