Pet hates that people seem to do when parked up on your bike or at shows

Ash, you should have gotten some more beer instead of nibbles. If your pals don't screw with you its time to start worrying.
As RT noted, I just don't want anyone getting burned on a hot pipe.

No the beer fridge in the shed was 1/2 full but the nibblies were up in the house, as for hot pipes really it wouldn't be your fault if someone touches your hot header, but of course little kiddies can't help themselves be more the parents fault not keeping an eye on them, but of course the little kiddies are quick.
I known my 3 mates all my life and we do muck around a bit with each other and always putting sh*t on each other but I should have cleaned the dust off the bike before they came around, but being a Friday night and a small session up the pub before coming up to my place to keep going, but its all good we are still mates lol.

Yeah , the hot pipes is a thing , back several yrs I had 1250 Bandit for daily use , came home from work one day and young fella from across street came over maybe 4yrs old , he pointed at the shiny pipes and I told him sternly they were very hot , well he left a fair hunk of index finger skin on a pipe , sounded like he lost his hand , thankfully his mom saw and heard my warning , the mark he left on pipe was still there when I traded that bike …..

Sadly ( in the USA at least ) if it came to litigation an aggressive lawyer will put a spin on it no matter what . It wouldn’t surprise me to be sued for yelling at a youngster to stay away …

What is the difference between such lawyers and a plecostomus?

Ans: one is the lowest form of its species, bottom feeding, sucking every thing including filth from every other life form in it's environment; the other is a fish.

Apologies to honorable lawyers on this Forum.

Apparently laboratories in the US have started using lawyers instead of lab rats.
They have found the lab staff aren't as likely to become attached to them.

Well my "pet" peeve isn't about anything in public or at shows. At home my girlfriend suggested she place her cat's litter box in the garage with my bikes. Harley, Norton's etc..I thought that was a good idea. Didn't have to deal with it in the house. All was good, but after a while he kept spraying the custom 21" Buchannan's front wheel on my 74 Roadster. No, Not the Harley, just my Commando which I've owned for 44 years to date.

I told her about this and suggested she do something to correct the problem. Maybe like put it in the house in her bathroom. She never complied. While she was at work one day, and I was out there washing the front wheel, I came up with a better idea. I crated him up and took him to the local Chinese restaurant " Wok Palace". Ya know, those folks were happy to see me.

Same day, she came home from work, I told her "Muffy" bolted out the rear garage door. We never could find that cat. In the end, I made some loot for some spare parts, made new friends at "Wok Palace", and haven't had to clean that Buchannan's for quite some time.

Her new cat "Vinnie" now does his thing in her bathroom, and has no idea what a motorcycle looks like.
