Stranger moving your bike?

Lucky he came out when he did because she was also in the process of dropping the 1000cc beast onto the tarmac

Unbelievable!! One thing is for sure - she won't be going near another bike (or biker) again after the earbashing she received that day

I've come across that attitude before too, there's a magnificently ignorant group who, for some bizarre reason, are happy to wait for other cars at the pump but think if there's a bike parked there, it should be moved instantly for their convenience. I've actually come out from paying for gas and found a guy parked on an angle across the front of my bike to get to the pump I'd just used, so I had to push the bike out backwards to get out! Idiot.

Or, the nice chap who pulled into the pump ahead of me on an extremely busy day at the Dairy Flat BP when everybody had to wait for a while as it was Labour weekend. But he just got out and went straight inside without filling up, he just couldn't be bothered parking in the carpark as he would have had to walk a bit further to the front door! Fucking inconsiderate wanker.

I parked outside of Cycletreads with my family car (with family in) on ahot day to check on the price of a new tyre. While I was inside, some tosser parked their cruiser directly behind my car (when there was ample space to park). Basically a great big "fuck you". When I came out it had been a while, the kids were hot and crying and the wife irritated. I looked insdie for the guy, no answer. I called out inside teh shop. No answer. Eventually I though "Fuck this" and moved the bike. He's damn lucky I didn't just drive over it. By that stage I was quite ready to.

He came up to me while I was moving it (funny how he can see a problem when I move it only, but not before...) and I was waiting for a comment so I could let him have a piece of my mind - but he was quite apologetic - as he should have been!

Its called mutual respect.
When you offer up some - you might get some back.
But the way your going I'm surprise people don't piss on your lunch.

Absolutely. A clear example of ignorant (nay, not ignorant, rude) laziness on part of the rider concerned. If there were other places to park then that's what he should have done.

I have no qualms about leaving my bike at a pump while I go in to pay - if it was my car it would be sitting there in all its glory, so why do people take exception if it's a bike? Depending on my mood I might move it forward for them, but as a smallish person with not many muscles I don't want to start the bike up and run the risk of being accused of trying to do a runner. Alternatively by the time I've moved my helmet somewhere safe while I ride it to another spot etc. I may as well have left it where it was and let mr or mrs or miss or ms or thing Car driver wait their jolly turn like everyone else has to.

That'd be an easy one to answer. They shouldn't accept the call unless they've got the fuel to complete the job. Imagine if the WestPac chopper had to stop for fuel half way to Great Barrier.

But what if the fat lady was the only one with access to enough of the medication to treat all the orphans in time?

These orphans are also victims of scientific experimentation and as yet unknown to anybody else some of them carry genes for immunity to cancer & HIV, so it's imperative that they don't die from smoke inhalation.

And the building has a whole lot of asbestos insulation and giant propane tanks.

And don't you think it would be unreasonable to get upset?

And.....

A lot like arguing with a priest about the non-existence of God. No matter how logical you get there's always an answer that does not require an ounce of common sense.

Meh, I would kill 50 asthmatic orphans with blow darts made from the ribs of kittens before I'd let someone else move my motorcycle... they're orphans, who'd know either way in any case

You're right though, he's the sort of prick that probably thinks the biker would be in the wrong for holding the bitches head under water for 3 minutes when she got caught doing it

He should have left your bike alone, and parked elsewhere.
He has no right to move your bike unless you have trapped him into a no way out situation.
I had that happen to me recently, at a meet at Okororie, but with other bikers, some of them parked so I could not get my bike out.
I looked around to see if the rider of the offending bike was about, then had to move his bike about 1 metre to get mine out.
He may have been pissed to find his bike moved , but I was more pissed to have some inconsiderate rider hem me in.
I was there first.
Moral of the story" be considerate"

**The Singing Chef** · 28th April 2011, 20:55

We had one of those scooters with around 8 - 10 wing mirrors ( the ones so that you can do your makeup and check your hair whilst riding) parked behind 4 bikes at mission bay so that we couldn't get out.

Just picked the damn thing up and moved it aside.

But in situations where it doesn't need to be moved that's not on, if only you could piss in their oil..
