That's why I arm my security alarm everytime I leave my bike. The alarm would chased them away I'm sure.
They may have just been admiring his bike but you never know. I have had my alarm go off several times at work from fellow employees thinking a bike is fair game to sit on. I compare it to someone sitting in someones open convertible without permission......not cool.
I would have handled the situation the same as you did. Notify the owner and stick around to help a fellow biker if needed.

 

You did the right thing,us bikers are a brotherhood and we should stick together and protect our own and their property.

 

If you see him on my bike, feel free to tell him to get off. Probably keep me out of a jackpot!

 

I would have done the same as you and would appreciate someone letting me know some nitwit is screwing with my bike. This is one of the reasons I try to never let my bike be out of eyesight if possible.

 

I'd expect that a true bike let me know if someone is sitting or touching my ride w/o permission. You did right, you never know, some of my friends have found snap on/off parts missing and some times they are not even guys who are going to sell or use your parts, just envious MF's.

Of course I have to tell you some story that I already shared in here,a couple of years agoI "caught" a blind guy watching my ride (touching it all over), I felt so good about it, I mean, the lady that was leading his way told him about a very nice motorcycle parked and the guy wanted to see it the only way he could with his hands. That was a lesson and one of the most joyful experiences with my bike.

In the other hand a few weeks ago some little punks (17 or 18 years olds) got to the bar where we hang around and started touching the bikes in a very strange manner, it actually looked like they were trying to provoke us, but I got to see the facts before one of my mates actually kicked one of them in the ***. They where high on X-tassy or some other crap like that... you should have seen their faces, I can only imagine their trip on all the chrome with that s*it in their system. They where this very close to get kicked. Funny.

Take care man.

Regards.

 

[sm=smiley20.gif]good job!

 

It's much worse than that. You cannot knock over someones car and do hundreds/thousands of dollars worth of damage by sitting in it.

 

[sm=exactly.gif] what he said.

Another thing I really hate is when friends or relatives who don't ride just assume it's ok to throw a leg over the seat and try it on for size.Just went through that this past Sunday and I told someone not to sit on it.Sometimes you just can tell something's going to go wrong.In this case I could sense the magnetic pull of my gas tank's paint to the zipper on the guy's jacket.

I didn't feel bad about it at all,I know how clumbsy this guy is,I knew if he sat on it he'd find a way to knock it over,scratch something or God know's what....

 

nice job bro!you did good sir, true to your signature statement. to that guy -you made his day, pretty much a hero.

 

Good job, I'd have done the same!
