Hello everyone,I would like to start off by saying Happy New Year, I would like to start a post about a rude s.o.b that I came in contact with a week ago,and would like to hear from anyone who had the same experience I did and how they handled it.
It was a nice saturday last week ,about 75 outside and dry
a great day for a ride and it may be the last before the cold front comes in so i took advantage of the day and took my scoot out for a ride,well I was thristy and stoped at a quick shop to get something to drink and it was full and had to wait in line, I checked out and wentback out to my bike and ther was this big a-hole sitting on my bike,he was high on something I don't know what ,but you could tell ,so I say hey that my bike and I dont like anyone on it so please get off,well he just grined and stated saying I wish i had one of these,and his buddy was trying to coach him off,after a few he got off and went in the store.
Now I'am 5' 10" and 160 lbs not a big guy and I am in good shape for 53 years young, But this guy was going to be a hard one because he was about 6'4" and a good 300lbs and to top it off he had a buddy and was high on some thing, I was lucky it ended like it did,and was pissed off for a week about itand kept thinking what could I have done if he didn't get off?I 'am not the kind to go around and start trouble,i would rather defuse the problem ,but sometimes you can't.
What would you guys do.
Thanks Eno
P.S I think I could out run him, I could slap him and run around the building and get on my bike before he could get me
but this wouldbe the first time my dyna woudn't start! Ha! Ha!
That is why I pack even though I am 6' 2" 220lbs, I still would have told his **** to get the hell off and if he didn't I would have shown him my remote control (if you know what I mean).
You should take pride in your common sense and calm demeanor. I'm not especially large myself at 5'11" 203lbs, butI don'talwaysremember that when dealing with idiots. I'm almost positive that I would have clocked the wack-a-doo without even thinking about the consequences. I'm pretty easygoing for the most part and I'll take my share of bullsh1t, but f@cking with my scooter, myfamily, or my bros will get you hurt. This guy could have gotten himself shot by some of the people I ride with.
Pisses me off just reading it. Now that it's over... forget it.
I would have called the police? Why? I don't want to deal with the consequences of plan B. I have too many people that count on me. It's called responsibilities.
My guess is...just what you did. Hard to say unless it is happening and easy to come up withstrategy when given time to mull it over.If he doesn't get off it's like a hostage situation...lol

Exactly what I was thinking.
Honestly, my demeanor is pretty calm, but lovin his **** all over my bike would havechanged that calm. Kudos to those that are calmer than I.
Hey Topspin, my dad lives in Boynton Beach. He was bitching to me yesterday that it was supposed to get down in the 50's or something one day this week. I would kill for 50 here in Indiana.[sm=happy046.gif]
I like the hostage scenario,and the fact you were calm. If I were inside and somone came in and told me what was going on I would have had your back gladly. The younger guys need to help out sometimes,no offense.
