Chauvinistic Pig?
So me and a buddy are sitting outside eating dinner. I parked my Spyder across the street where I had a great view of it. We notice two cute girls walk by and start looking around at it. All of a sudden one of the girls climb up and sit down on the bike while the other took her picture. Normally if it was a dude...I would have yelled at him to get off my bike, but since it was a girl, I just let it slide. Who doesn't want a cute girl sitting on his bike. Does that make me a chauvinistic pig?
I hope not!
Hopefully the women Spyder riders will be kind with your remarks!
This was the first time this has happened with my Spyder. How do most people respond when other people are sitting on your bike?

OF course we are a chauvinistic pig, its in the DNA.
I added a proximity alarm and this sign and a quick rain cover.

Just me--but no one sits on my bike without permission. The one time it happened, it was a young boy who's mom stood by and watched the whole thing. I saw it happening from the restaurant window, but it took me a bit to get outside and tell the kid he was not supposed to be on the bike. Mother and child went off in a huff.
People that don't know squat about bikes can cause damage by kicking and scratching the Tupperware, can break things by playing with switches or levers--etc. If they break something--good luck getting them to pay for it.
I am selective about where and when I park in public. Don't carry a cover--but have not felt the need to use one for protection.

No one sits on my bike unless asked.It,s rude to think that you can touch other people's property with out permission.If she was really cute and nude well that's a different story.

The shop manager of my auto repair business is a female. This works well because when women come in, they are more comfortable speaking to another woman, and when men come in they like to speak to her because we are all pigs. The other reason is, she's a great shop manager.

muddy seat
we came off the trail at Watkins Glen to find a muddy seat where someone's shoe slid across the seat. It would be nice to find out which car was there's and get inside behinde the wheel. See how they would react.

In the 45 years I've owned motorcycles, No one has ever helped themselves to my ride. Since we bought the spyder the first of the year, it's happened twice. I wonder if it's because it's so new and different to some people or it's less intimidating about getting on and not having to hold it up. Either way, I don't care for people helping themselves like that. As Rodney would say "No Respect"

OK to sit?
At the last campground, just as we were unloading the Spyder from the trailer, three young boys came riding past on their bikes. One of them immediately asked if he could "get on it."
Jackie looked him right in the eyeballs and told him definitely not.
Something about him indicated he just didn't have the upbringing that left you with any confidence he possessed respect for stuff that might matter to the owner. During our stay there, I watched as he made his way through the playground yanking and pulling on stuff, testing whether or not it would break. What a little pain in the ass.
Every time we weren't nearby, I made sure the cover was fully in place, giving me a little peace of mind it would serve as a deterrent. I confess, though he never came around again, I was glad to break camp and move on.
Bottom line: with some people even when they ask it just isn't ok.

Raise hell!
If you came to a parking lot and found a person at the controls of your car, you would call 911. Grand theft auto in progress! The same goes for bikes. After the police haul them off, perhaps they'll learn. If not, time in jail ....
