Saturday afternoon quarterbacking...Coulda walked back into bar shoulder between him and the guy next to him and ask for two beers, say something like, " we were gonna leave but now i gotta wait for my, ( cousin, brother in law, uncle ), who's a cop to come and finger print this peice of a Miller bottle so you can track down the punk that just messed with your ride." Then if the guy decides to scoot in a few minutes, acting all guilty and such, follow him out and ask him to wait til the cops show up, should only be five minutes or so. Judge for yourself, who else is gonna, and act accordingly. A call to the cops will only put your name in a report, if one is made, and guess who they'll come to chat with if the "runt" rats... JMHO
Go back to the same place and see if he's there. If he is go and sit right next to him. Calmly tell him how someone trashed your bike with a High life beer bottle. Look right at his if he has one. Get real close and see if he pops. If he shows signs that it was him drag his *** out back and introduce his head to the wall.
yeh, if you already have some idea on who it was, I'd say something to him
why the hell is everyone saying "bars are nothing but trouble" and "stay away from bars"???? i don't get it, i go to bars every now and again never had a problem or a problem too big it couldn't be resolved easily. are you folks too scared to leave your house at night too? jesus christ...
anyway if you think it's this guy ask him point blank next time you see him, see how he acts and make an assessment. most guys even after losing a fight won't go to the cops so i think you're alright there. but be careful of runts, i've seen guys 5'5 150 completely school guys well over 200 lbs because they had good boxing and wrestling skills.
my guess is it wasn't anyone in the bar but some punk a** high school degenerates with bad parents passing by.

i got talked into a new bar last night. had a great burger and plenty of free beer. met some great folks. had only one disagreement about politics but it ended on a positive note after we realized we had the same views but were using different words to describe our stances.
so my buddy and i leave and theres my bike covered in beer and glass. one of the turn signal lenses is gone.
miller high life. wtf? if you gotta trash a harley at least spend a few bucks on a decent beer. totally offensive and uncool.
this was a small bar with only a handful of possible candidates for douche-of-the-century. we talked about it and decided its probably the freak at the end of the bar. he was drinking high life and the bar tender said he started acting weird the minute me and my buddy show up. this isn't hard evidence, and its possible the bar tender has an axe to grind. but it sounds plausible to me.
i hate to fck him up cause he's just a runt and he aint going to learn a damned thing from it anyway.... but we're talking about my bike. its got my own blood in the cases. its my family and it never did a damned thing to him.
what would you do to make this right?
Whoever did the bad deed might have been eavesdropping on your political conversation and took out his frustration on your scoot.

+1 Leave your politics at home, people get offended easily over that stuff. It doesn't give the guy any right to do that sort of thing, but it might have give him a reason. I saw a guy today with a T-shirt that had a smiley face, then the words, "imagine...no liberals". I would have loved to punch the guys teeth out, but what good would it have done? I would have gone to jail, and he would have still been an idiot.
