Strangers and your bike

Strangers and your bike
So after work today I decided to head over to the bar across the street. Had my usual beer and burger and then decided to head home. When I got outside I started to gear up and noticed a car parking across from me. The man got out and said, "So thats what your riding, a crotch rocket?" I simply replied yes and continued to gear up. He then walked over and started to look at the bike. He said he liked crotch rockets but preferred his harley (which he decided to show me a pic of). I tried to be nice but honestly I was just tired and wanted to go home. He then asked if minded him sitting on it. I really didnt want to but unfortunately I have a tendancy to be too nice and so i said fine. After a second he asked if he could take it around the parking lot. I told him no i had to go. Then he started messing with the key (which i had already placed in the ignition) and started the bike. This made me nervous but I figured if he even attempted to put it in gear i was gonna nail the kill switch and remove him by force. He then asked again to go around the block. I told him no i had to go and he finally got off, hitting my helmet with his boot (which dangling on the rear of the bike) which he didnt even apologize for. When he finally left I thought for a moment about the situation and was totally disgusted. What the **** is wrong with people. If someone is nice enough to let you sit on there bike, why cant that be enough!?!? It's like dealing with kids! I just wish people would show some respect for others property. Be gracious and thankful for the opportunity you've been given. I guess thats just asking to much out of people.

Had my usual beer
Seriously, I can be fairly nice myself but Im with you on the "remove by force". I dont mind if a friend that rides and has his own bike rides mine, we all know the rules. You wreck my bike, I take yours home and give it back when you fix mine......Although I will let my twin and older brother ride even though they no longer have a bike.... The bike is materialistic, and **** happens....
