Speaking of which , today , a close friend of mine brought his wife's car over to have me put a new battery in , who the ***** designs a car with a battery in the fender well ? Anyhow , as I'm bolting everything back up , I hear my bike " chirp " and the next thing you know the alarm is going off . My friend decided to take a seat , he just about Shat himself when it went off . I ran into the house and grabbed the FOB , had to explain to him why I disappeared and returned . When I ran back into the shop to disarm the bike , he was standing on the other end of the shop looking like he expected the bike to self destruct .
When it was all over , he apologized and explained how he wished he had taken up the " Hobby " and really envied me for doing what I do . I did have to explain , that it wasn't a " Hobby " but a way of life for me , my solitude from the crazy world we all live in , pretty sure he understood .. All was good , I never had a problem with him sitting on it , just should have said something first .

So I just got a used Harley. I haven’t had one in almost five years and I’m pretty happy with it. I took it to my local watering hole and everyone was checking it out when, out the blue, this guy I barely know jumps on and stands it up. I was polite at first thinking he was going to apologize and get off but he took an attitude with me about “that guy” and I had to get a little more aggressive to get him to get off of it. I’m the only one at this place who owns a bike which is new to me because I used to hang out with people who owned their own and know to be a little more respectful. I tried not to make too big a deal about it because we have mutual friends but it really made me want to throw down. Am I just overreacting?
Made me think of this! There are some people I know that would beat the hell out of some dude for doing that.
