Default People These Days

Had to stop by the dealer quick today to use the facilities; I walk out and some dude is rubbing the sissy bar on my bike while his buddy is playing with my foot pegs. I said WTF.... They backed right away, got in their truck and took off. People these days, I would never touch someone's bike or vehicle!

It's called lack of respect for somebody else's property. I don't touch their bike unless I ask permission first, to me, that's the way it should be.

Lots of oddness at dealerships. If you had just reported the infraction to the management i'm confident you would have received a complimentary bike bath.

When admiring a bike or a certain mod I'm even conscious of just how close I get and point to the area I'm admiring. You gotta know or suspect the owner is watching your every move. Touching is just out of the question sorta like groping someone's wife in front of them you gotta expect something to go down.

Didn't really stop to listen to what he was saying. He heard my tone of voice and moved on. Is that something you might have said....😀

This is society in general today, especially in the younger crowd; no damn respect for anything...

It makes me wonder what would have happened or how far would those goofballs have gone, if you hadn't came out of the shop when you did?

That's odd, I'm 65, and I find that the older, the more obnoxious. Young people that I meet are basically pretty nice, and respectful.

You handled it better than I would have.

Kinda like writing in the dust on a car. I've had to yell at my friends, their kids, my kid, my OL, and strangers for touching my vehicles. My OL was "just wiping some stuff off" my tour pak while the bike was filthy one day. I yelled at her "don't touch the paint if it's dirty! Better yet don't touch the paint unless your washing or waxing it!!" Man if looks could kill, one of us would be dead.

My name's Francis Sawyer... but everyone calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis... I'll kill ya.

Ooooooh.

You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff... I'll kill ya. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me... I'll kill ya.
