A$holes touching parked bikes

[mitchilin]

Sheesh, tough crowd to please. I don’t mind if people sit on or touch my bike provided there is no malice or intent to damage it; indeed they are welcome to, especially if they are genuinely interested. Hey no harm no foul, a bike is only a “thing” IMHO but its hard to tell what peoples true intentions are so I guess its natural to be a bit concerned if someone is shitting around and I don’t know what they are intending to do....

If they ask or seem reasonable then no worries, even if I “caught them at it” so to speak. If they are quite the opposite then, if practical, I spose I would need to give them a bunch on the teefs or at least threaten them with a caution, then maybe leg it, or a combination?

As for grubby hand prints, well the road spooge that I collect after a ride is infinitely harder to clean and certainly no worse than those of my Son, His Cousins and their mates who love to hop on for a “ride” and they always ask if I can help them. My only concerns, especially with the kidlets (even if they are with an adult) are that they maybe badly burned if the bike is still hot or even worse that they may suffer a crushing injury (fatal?) if the bike rolls off it's stand. If I am there to supervise then happy days.

I must be getting soft in my old age

If thats the case, then can I have a go a your missus?

I had some little buggars pull the spark plug caps off my HD when it was parked at Subway - it pissed me off at the time, but I soon saw the funny side. They got me good, i almost flattened the battery before I found what they had done.

The worst thing is when someone changes your fuel tap from ON to RESERVE. Then you run out of gas and you dont have a cure.!

No the worst thing is someone taking off the oil filler cap. You normally don't find out until the oil light comes on, the engine plays up, or you come off because of the oil all over the back tyre

That's not the worst thing that can happen.What happened? You got some Oil on your pants and noticed it was gone and thought somecunt pinched it.Cause they don't just vibrate off; do they?....

The gn needs oil almost as often as it needs fuel, there isn't time for the oil filler to vibrate off. And I put the oil cap on top of my keys when I take it off so I'm not likely to leave it off myself cos need to pick up the oil cap to start the bike

Mitch’ I think you are trying to be funny but in case you aren’t have another read. Bikes are not people and it amazes me that a lot of us have this attitude of look at me or my bike the wrong way and Ill open you up, if that’s how you feel then you are missing the big picture. As I said in terms of the Bike no harm no foul, that is certainly not in the same category as your question. Let me know if you need more tangible clarification

Cheers

Hahaha...wow you're a serious fellow!!!

Actually Perv’ you are right, doesn’t read to good in hindsight but hey I’ve posted it, so ill leave it and Mitch’ can make up his own mind. Some Dudes are protective of their bikes, I am like that with family and more than likely missed Mitch’s point.

Mitch’ we usually get through your way a fair bit, Can’t be too many Katana’s around. If I see you at Puhoi or Mangawhai Tav I’ll make a point of introducing myself, prolly shout you a coldie.

What does your Missus look like anyway, maybe we can come to an arrangement?

Sheesh man get a grip! Anyone would think they pushed your bike over and run it over several times with a 4WD...
Kids will be kids and if that happened to my bike in my profile picture Id simply clean it off, or any of the oter 6 bikes I have currently.
By all means have a cow, but I think you need to put it into perspective, or mature a little?

The only way to stop people touching your bike is to buy a complete heap of shit that looks like it got dredged out of wellington harbour after ten years submerged in salt water then smear it with crap that'll fix the bastards!!!
They're like magpies if it's shiny they feel the need to smear their greasey little muck rakes over it's smooth surface,it's human nature!!

Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!

My bikes always look like that. So do I.

I came out of a shop the the other day and when I came out there was a middle age lady sitting on my bike with heaps of bling on her fingers and slapping the tank, while another women was taking a photo... well the bling on her fingers actually scratched the tank... I wasn't to happy

[davereid]

Geez mate.. that's a bit rough!! hope you got her details!

If I am near my bike & notice a kid drooling over it, I have offered for them to have a sit on it. But I would however be upset if I came out of a shop etc, & found someone sitting on it without permission!

As already mentioned on here.. I too would hate for a kiddy to get burnt on hot pipes, or for my bike to roll off the stand & crush a little one! If I'm there to supervise & make sure they can play "biker", "safely" then all good!
