Pay Attention to Your Bikes

[roeme]

Okay -- this makes me angry ---

Her Boss (a MALE) told HER (FEMALE) to go out and check on what these two thugs were doing because it was HER bike.
Then she was confronted in a threatening way -- while he did ...nothing??
Wait -- he called the Police... oh ...very ...manly ..

I know Charmayne is perfectly capable -- but she is tiny !?!
WHY did he NOT walk out WITH HER ?!?!?

I guess I grew up in a different time -
The demise of manners and grace and Gentlmanliness seems at an end.

Okay -- Off the soapbox for now ---
But I found out either of my sons stood by while a woman was in a difficult situation...(azzkickin comin at ya!)

Dude, no. This has nothing to do with genders. Would your sons get an asskickin' as well if they stood by when a guy was in a difficult situation?

If at all, make this into an age/character issue.

But let's not digress.

I think Wingsconsin was simply referring to good old fashioned chivalry. In that regard, I fully agree with him, and I'm teaching my kids the same..

Uhh...YES ...

Thank you for understanding - Chivalry is not dead ! But it is resting...

Good on you, Wingcosin, for noticing the 2-on-1 (woman or not but I too tend to "especially so"...) situation...I don't know what the situation was per the "boss"- maybe impossible for him to aid- but, genererally I'd like to think "me'n my friends" would all go out to see in a similar situation.

Heroin is BIG these days. So many people hooked. It's truly sad. Guys like those are living a life of desperation. I'm not trying to excuse their behavior just commenting that there are a lot of lost soles out there these days.

Same here in Canada. Though, with the growing use of Fentynal by heroin junkies, the issue is beginning to self correct.

Elephant tranqs and heroin...what could go wrong. Self correcting issue, as stated above. Was just talking to a paramedic about the whole NARCAM / heroin issue during lunch. It's bad here in Indiana.

A nearly successful attempt was made last night to steal my cousins Ducati 996..
He parked it in his driveway after returning exhausted and late from a day out. The would be thieves rolled it into the street then dropped and left it there.
Apparently my cousin slept thru it. The bike was picked up by the police and carefully flatbeded to impound with no further damage.

The cops found the knife that was used to chip away the paint on my bike. .............
.................................................. .............................I told that to the cops and gave them a full description of the men who were found ....................

Charmayne,
ANy new develpment with this that you know...?

No, we haven't been told anything

What the H3LL ? ! ? I was thinking the same thing as Karl, why didn't ANYONE go out there with her? And for the LIFE of me, I can't figure why they would be stuffing needles in random places on the bike...

Now, that said. When these guys get out jail, they just might be inclined to go back there and try something with her. Criminals don't see their incarceration as their own fault. The person that got them busted is ALWAYS at fault. I don't know what kind of town / city you live in, but I would be very cautious leaving work in the near future. Especially at night. The way the judicial system "works" these days, it's likely they will be out in a month or so... Just some reality food...

Very glad to hear that only the bike to minor cosmetic damage.


* One last thing... What kind of junkie get their oil changed ? ! ? These guys should be added to one of the dumbest criminals videos, because they aren't very good at it... lol...
