would you be mad?

I would have yelled too. No excuse for bad manners. I don't care where you are from, that's not ignorance, that's straight disrespect. In Texas you could have legally shot him for trying to steal your bike :evil:

I would've whopped him up side the head with a tennis shoe and told him it would be a tire iron if he did it again. -Duck

my immediate reaction would be to knock him off of it thinking he was planning on stealing it.

I'd be mad, he's depriving a village some were of an idiot, he should know that touching something thats not his, is looking for trouble, perhapes he'll have second thoughts next time he see's something that looks cool

when I was in Iraq in the early 90's I came out of a store that we had popped into and as I was coming out I saw a man walk up to another and cram a pistol barrel down his throat and pull the trigger.(it got really messy) Come too find out the man doing the shooting owned the little Honda Cub that was parked by the wall and the now deceased gentleman has ACCIDENTALLY bumped into it causing it to fall over and break a mirror, the really sad part was the guy shot him not because of the mirror but because it's common knowledge in that part of the country that you don't get that close to anyone's personal conveyance's without permission. Makes you think a little does'nt it ???

That's exactly the reason I quit riding my good bikes to work. People were sitting on them quite frequently, some I knew, some I'd never seen in my life. Some of them had that wonderful dismount where their shoe scuffs the seat or bodywork. Also I hate it when a motorcycle gets dusty and some moroon runs his fingers over the dusty tank. I still have scratches on my 1000MKII from this and I think I only rode it to work like 3 times. That's all it took. This is the reason I just ride my junky KZ650 anymore, don't have to worry.

Now if they would all shoot each other life would be much more pleasant.

Sorry, got caught up in the moment....

My first reaction would be to ask him how the bike felt. Then hit him with the tazzer. Then ask him how that felt. Kinda like training with dog shock collars.

Bet he wouldn't do it again.

i told him
"get your f@cking a$$ off my bike right now"
of course he got mad and told me not to speak to him like that.
i told him he has a better chance of riding my wife then my bike.
was i out of line or would've this pissed you off also?

want to sit on her then just ask, never assume it would be ok is my opinion!

alomst had to fight to defend the old girl who i felt was violated today.

not nearly as mad as he would be after the ass whipping followed by several boots to the lugnutz :whistle:

It seems that he doesn't need a job working on others bikes if he can't respect other peoples property, of course an ass-whipping goes a long way toward learning respect as well.:evil:

It never crossed my mind that you would not ask the owner for permission. What the hell was he thinking?

The rule in its simplest form goes something like this -- Don't screw with my family or my property (some may say the two are interchangeable).

You handled it better than I would have , It would have been Messy my way ... :evil: :evil: :evil: ( Just went outside and kissed my bike ):blush:

I think that asking permission also applies to your toolbox

oh hell no!
i am a ase master tech and have just about 35k in tools!
that is so off limits to people!
you would be better off messing with my daily rider bike then messing with my tools!
