So I went to the local fall festival to help in the local food booth (all proceeds go to cancer stuff) and I rode the FJR. After my 4 hour shift of serving tenderloins and burgers I headed back to the bike. It was about 8:30, and dark by then. I parked behind my wife's office, literally less than 50 paces from the food booth. As I approached it, I noticed something that looked kinda ... not right. The seat was covered with... dew? I'm not a weather man, but the conditions didn't seem right for dew, and the other vehicles in the vicinity were all dry. Then I got a closer look.... the seat was wet, and there was wetness on the ground around the bike. some punk poured something on my Russel, and it was sticky! I found an empty 2 liter of Mountain dew orange. .. son of a *****! It immeaditaly made me think of pulp fiction:

Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that ******* doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it. Lance: What a ******!

Vincent: What's more chickenshit than ******* with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle.

I'm sure my Russel didn't get 2 liters, but I'll bet it got a pint of flat pop. i went back to the food booth, and got some water and a towel, rinsed it off and cussed again. I suited up, started up, and was about to head out, ready to mostly put it behind me... and I saw the local fuzz. My wife went to school with him, and he's in the local 'volunteer service organization' with her and me. He looked around, and since there really isn't anything that can be done, he said he'd tell dispatch, and it'd be on a piece of paper somewhere.

Then he and I talked about the FJR for a while. He is, I think, a cruiser rider. He got quite a chuckle out of me telling him that police aren't as likely to give a 145 hp, 150 mph cycle a ticket if it has side bags on. ...quite a chuckel.

Anyhow.... I got home, and the dew I missed cleaning up, is now fully evident in the fluorescent light, the orange sticks out on the black seat, and the black cherry paint.

Damn, that is chickenshit, but atleast it wasn't' a pocket knife...

 
That BLOWS! if by chance you missed any, and it baked onto the pipes, oven cleaner works great. My Camelback leaked lemonade all over my bike a week ago, and it all cooked on the pipes. What a mess. if you ever find the A-Hole (and you wont, but nice to dream) lets have a rally just to beat him to death.

 
That sucks twice over - once that it was done, and twice that it was done while you were volunteering for charity. As you say, better Mountain Dew than a knife, but still not cool.

Makes a grown man want to smack some sh#t down don't it? I would be very pissed. You handled it better than I..Kudos to you..

 
Do you piss somebody off recently? It is possible, but not likely that they just chose your bike at random.

 
Yeah, reminds me to cover my bike when around the PUBLIC. Espically, when the PUBLIC is drunk. Glad it was an easy fix.

 
You ran into a 1%er. Yes this is a common phenomenon in the human race "the moron", they go by many names and do many stupid things unfortunately one passed by your bike when it was done with it's soda. Could have been your car just a well because the moron has no limits. On a positive not the moron has many natural predators, they are gradually being forced to the outskirts of society where they can only harm each other. Some day they may make the endangered species list and fall under government protection but until then it's open season on them. Oh, and you don't need a license.

 
This sucks!!!! Not happy it happened but I am happy it was something you could wash off.

In these situations I always say "God was looking out for them because if I catch them they will wish to God I hadn't".

What goes around, comes around. They will have something happen to them that will remind them of the day they did what they did to your bike.

I have seen it too many times. Live long enough and you will too.

After meeting Tom at EOM, I would say prob not. ME on the otherhand.....

Yep give the whole bike a good washing or the acid will f up the paint

Wanna read a story that illustrates that? Many, many years ago Andy and I had a run in with a deer. Our car won, but was wounded. Since the deer wasn't insured and we had minimal coverage, we did the cheapest repairs we could. Instead of a Ford grille, we had folded over chicken wire protecting the new radiator!

Fast forward a few months. There was a hit and run in a parking lot. The driver killed his lights and slunk away, not knowing that another person had got his plate #. The police were unable to help because it was on private property. Andy obsessed over this for days, fixated on an orange Morris Marina with that plate #. Would you believe that he saw it, at work? with damage that corresponded to that on our car.

He told the security guard that the car's lights were on and would they let the owner know. Or, because it was cold and it might mean a long walk, away from the desk with the donuts, Andy would let the guy know, on his way back to work. Mr Security willingly gave up the details.

The guy was summoned to Andy's 'office' (borrowed from his boss for ten minutes). Andy asked him about the damage to the Morris Marina and the dark blue paint on the orange car. The guy burst into tears and admitted everything. He gave Andy a blank check to cover all the repairs. We were able to buy the parts to repair the damage he did, as well as the radiator grille that he would have trashed, if we had one. The already dented fender was replaced, since it was now much more severely dented. The guy got off lightly, since there were no labor charges.

What goes around, comes around.

Now I am not accusing you of anything, believe me, I am not. But being in the business, my first thought is that somone is poking something he isn't supposed to, and maybe sombody's other partner got wind of it, and the perpatrator. Thats always my first question when I deal with this stuff. Just a thought.

Either way, one should take a punch in the nose and not a dew on the seat.

Ride it hard and put it away wet.

I don't know how I missed this, but now that I saw it, I gotta reply to it.

What? Are you saying that a jealous husband of a chick I'm boning was so furious that at me for the boning, he limited his fury to only pouring soda on the seat? Really?

Or perhaps a guy that's banging my wife is mad enough at me to spill a soft drink on my seat, but not rub his car keys on my gas tank?

Thats always my first question when I deal with this stuff. Just a thought.
Was this a situational question you had on your SGTs exam?

If only all adultery ended so relatively harmlessly. I'm still leaning twards a punk that either thinks if it ain't a Harley, it ain't ****, or, someone that thinks that if they don't have one, no one should.

Besides, the adultery angle is way off. The husband of the chick I'm boning would hospitalize, not vandalize, if he found out. And the guy that's poking my old lady doesn't mind sharing.

Actually that was a situational question on the exam. It's always over a girl!! The old saying, "The Power of the Puss!" Makes a man do strange things.
