I think its funny, Somebody spends 20K on a motorcycle and some HD branded accessories and it makes them a biker and they adopt all stereotypical biker rules. Everybody saw the old movies where some funny character accidentally touch a bikers scooter and it knocks down all the rest of them like dominoes. Its all about respect, if somebody touches your handle bars its not that big of a deal. If they disrespect your bike its a different story. I don't see your friend touching your stereo or your handlebars as disrespect.

True story. That dude almost got a very painful and valuable life-lesson that day. I think he got the hint from the near-psychotic episode he witnessed as I approached with haste and intent.

3 rules people have to live by:

3) Don't kick my dogs
2) Don't pinch my wife's ***
1) DON'T F*#& with my Harley (unless I know you, trust you, and say it's ok).

Strangers better tread very lightly when touching my stuff. Admiring at arms length (read: without touching) is absolutely permitted, and even appreciated.
Sound like 3 good rules to live by!

Does the response for rule #3 go for rules 1 and 2 also?

Rule #1 (bottom of the list) is the only one I allow to be bent, but only by close friends.

Rules #2 and #3 are always in effect. There will never be permission granted to kick my dogs or pinch my wifes ***. I don't care HOW well I know you or how long we've been friends. Breaking either one of those will elicit a most unwelcomed and unpleasant response.

I'll admit though...I sometimes toy with the order of those rules, so it's best to just leave 'em all alone (unless you've got a hot wife and are willing to reciprocate =).

i don't really care about a friend touching or sitting on my bike. What really pisses me off is coming out of the store and finding a stranger actually sitting on my bike. Yes, it happened once.
