my bike got fucked with last night...

[Keen]

little dirty piece of shit scum scally manbag-carrying french wankers.

Went to where i chain my bike this morning looking forward to my morning commute. But I try to start the bike and it wouldnt. Then I realised, the killswitch was on (so was the mainbeam) and the bike was in gear. Then I noticed tha the 'protected by smartwater' sticker had been ripped off the tank leaving a nasty sticky patch. Bastards.

I went to the petrol station to fill up on my way, still fuming, then when I opened the little metal flap that covers the filler cap lock, out falls the sticker, neatly folded into a square. BASTARDS.

It doesn't really matter, but its the principle...

Why? why bother? probably the UK plates. Takes a real hard bastard to fuck with someones bike when they're not there. Why am I surrounded by such low lifes? oh yeah, its france...

I would also be fuming had I found my bike like that; I'm very precious about my bike, and if anyone dare touch it, woe betide them...!

BUT! No major damage was done, it's still perfectly ridable and most importantly it was still there. I know it's irritating, but maybe you just need to chalk it down to experience?

Of course it's always possible that someone was just trying to help.....

Imagine if you would that a gust of wind blew the smartwater sticker off your bike onto the floor infront of a passer by. He/she picked it up and recognised it had come off a motorcycle. Looking round they see yours and noticed the sticker mark revealing your bike to have been the source. Out of sheer goodwill they are moved to try and return your property and so first try to stick it into the slot by the kill switch so you would notice it when you came back. Unfortunatly this idea fails so the highbeam the other side was tried. Again no joy so as a last option he/she puts the sticker down the petrol cap, and places the bike in gear so as to alert you in the morning to the fact someone has been near your bike trying to help........

I understand what you are feeling Keen. I have had the same done to my bike. Was parked up overnight, when I came to it next day, the headlight switch was set to full and the main beam button was pressed on, also the bike had been put into gear.

That just made me go and buy a bike cover to stop this kind of thing from happening again. Now the bike is less noticeable to scum, and also it stops them from sitting on and messing with the bike.

I can sympathise with you.

Bikes are like guitars are like girlfriends. (In order of decreasing importance )

But remember, in life, shit happens. The important thing is that when bad things happen, just laugh to yourself and say: if this is my dose of bad luck for the month, then I've faired better than many.

Imagine if you had come of your bike coz some twit on a mobile phone wasn't looking where he was going!

A sticker in the petrol tank isn't so bad, if you catch my drift....

But yeh, they're bastards all the same!!!

All I can say, they better not hope that I catch them damaging/toying with a fellow biker's wheels!!!
