Default Bah! Mirrors

Had a D'oh! moment today. Went in for pre-op physical, come out some $@$%^ing woman's putting her kids on my bike and taking pictures of 'em as I come out. I snapped, said something to the effect of "At least yer close enough to the hospital when I kick yer a$$!".

Well, got done with the drama, get the bike fired up and leave. 2 freakin' blocks later my rightside mirror goes sailing off across he road. Grr, d@mn worthless mother apparently let her kids (I don't blame the kids, oldest was like 2) screw with the mirrors and loosened it up. Mirror's back on, but, is majorly scuffed and one of the billet ends is ground off from the slide across/down the road.

Now I get to order a new set of mirrors (220 a set...argh) and this time I'm usin' freakin red locktite to hold 'em on!

Honestly, if I ever find someone sitting on my ride without my permission, I will snap. People have NO respect anymore.

Cheers!

Usually the alarm setup I have is a deterrent- it gives you a warning if you breath on it wrong.


I would snap as well- respect is key

People have no respect for others people's property or privacy anymore. That's all there is to it [:@]

I understand how you feel, some people have no respect for other people's property. I would probably go ballistic also.

ROFL, aww man, why don't I ever see/think of these things until it's too late. That woulda been *classic*. To be honest with ya, I never woulda hit the woman (my ma raised me better'n that)....but....this woman didn't know that.
