It had cooled down so much last night that my wife and I decided to get on the bike and ride to one of our favorite burger joints in downtown Dallas. We go in, order our food and drinks as well as some onion strings. The bike is parked on the street and I can see it from where I am sitting.
As our food arrived, i happened to look outside and see some guy sitting on MY bike talking to a woman. I get up and walk outside about to call LEO as I am walking out. As I walk up on this dude, I here him telling this woman how he just rode HIS bike in from Arizona and was stopping here for something to eat and drink.
After hearing this I decide to have some fun so I walk over and said " sorry to listen in but I understand you just rode this bike from Arizona" When he said yes, I said I didnt know that MY bike was so fast that it made it to Arizona and back in less than an hour.
After the woman laughed and walked away, I informed the guy that he almost got arrested for getting on my bike. I also told him it was a good thing it was mi bike and not a Bandito or other clubbers bike as they would never find all of the pieces of him.
He sure did turn some funny shades of white though.

Women make you do stupid stuff. Just sayin'.

You are absolutely right about the potential consequences he might have faced.

The post doesn't contain any information to suggest that the woman did anything to "make" this guy do what he did (other than possibly being attractive and in that particular place at that particular time). He volunteered all by himself.

I would have paid money to have witnessed your conversation with him.

should've strung him along and stretched out his agony by asking detailed questions about the bike - what kinda (engine part) is that? where'd you get the chrome? how fast will it go? if he doesn't catch on and gets annoyed he'll say something like, "hey man buzz off I'm talkin' to my lady friend" ... then you nail him with, "I'll leave as soon as you get off my motorcycle!"

That would have been classic!

I walked out of Wal-Mart once to see a 7-year-old kid on my ZX-6R making "vrooom, vrooom, vroooooooooom!" noises. I hung out with him til his mom showed up.

I hope you gave her an earfull. I generally don't mind the little ones sitting on my bike as long as mom/dad asks first. Theres just so many places for them to burn themselves if they hop up all on there lonesome.

I thought I was using "make" in an other-than-literal way. Kinda like "gun control advocates make me crazy." Its not that they literally make me crazy, 'cause I came that way to begin with.

Peace, out.

Actually I did ask him if he would start it so I could here the pipes (left my keys on the table inside and have a parimiter alarm, have to be within 10' with the alarm fob) . His comment was he had to let it cool down because it was so hot.

I did say a few more words to him but cannot repeat here (violation of 10 year old daughter rule).

I was wondering why a dude was trying to impress a woman by sitting on a Bicycle. It only dawned on me later...

You are much nicer than I would have been. In fact much nicer than most guys I know that ride.
I guess no blood was shed, so, all is well. Twisted Root or Angry Dog?

Like I said, some things I just cant say here.

Twisted Root

RPB, by the way I really like your tagline ...

Carrying a weapon is like prayer, its a way of life, not an emergency detour

Is that your saying or did you borrow it from someone else?

Everytime I see a good one, I try to incorporate it into my CHL teaching presentation ... mind if I steal yours?

Might even try to impress some women with it

Nope its mine. Feel free to use it

Just dont be on MY BIKE trying to impress the women

I've had more than one person stop and walk around my bike looking it over, but never anyone with the audicity to sit on it uninvited. Too bad there isn't a remote start.....you could have started it while he was sitting on it. Of course then you would have had to clean the seat off.......OR...I might have just walked up to it, unlocked a saddle bag and pulled something out, and just stood there staring him down. OR you could have determined somehow which nice shiny car was his and went and sat on his hood........

Here is what I would have really done--------Opened the door to the restaurant, and hollered, "GET OFF MY BIKE!!!!!"
