Default Ouch!

A couple weeks ago I was at Great Lakes Harley in Bay City Mi and just as I pulled into the parking lot I looked in my rearview (was driving the wifes car) and saw the craziest crap I ever seen. Some chick that was walking to the door as I pulled in apparently jumped up on a brand new V-Rod sitting out front and decided to pull it up off the kickstand. LOL That bike was havin NO part of that, it went right over and she went flying head first into the asphalt parking lot right behind my car. Got out to help the poor bike up, but before I could get there, there were 3 salesmen picking the bike up and checking it for damage. All she said was I'm so sorry, I promise not to get on another one of your bikes again. LOL The rep replied, not unless you buy it first! Apparently they found no damage to the bike. HAHAHAHA

LOL NO, No lane splitting for me, don't have a need, I live where there is nothing but corn bean and wheat farms for at least 2 hours before you get to Detroit. (The tip o the Thumb, bean capitol of the world)

Ok Ok so maybe not THE craziest, but I NEVER seen it before, and it was pretty cazy to see, almost as if in slowmo LOL

Thanks I like it too, I bought it off a lady, whose old man owned it before he died (not sure how he died), she was pretty tore up and made me promise to take good care if it. RIP Brother!

Chick is merely an example of what's wrong with people these days. What happened to the concept of respect and don't touch anything that doesn't belong to you? Chick had the mentality that was entitled to sit and move the bike. Idiot.

I guess I see it differently. What's wrong with sitting on a bike that is on display at a dealership (unless it is a custom with a sign that says do not touch). I remember being in a dealership years ago and a guy asked a salesman if he could sit on a bike. The salesman's response.... this is a dealership, not a museum. Sit on any bike you like.....Agreed you shouldn't be lifting them off the stand if you don't know what the hell your doing.

She was obviously clueless, I mean she might as well have just walked up to the bike and pushed it over as fast as it happened, when she heaved it up off the stand it never even paused just went straight over, would have saved her from biting asphalt. But I do see your point, if I can't get on it, I sure would have a hard time buying it!
