I recall taking my brand new Ducati 848 (previous bike) to work one day and a colleague took it apon himself to throw his leg over without asking.. Problem was he kicked the rear cowl and put a nice black scratch across it and set off the disc lock alarm.
Some people have no idea...

Pam & I went for a ride to the top of Mt Cootha a few wks back. I parked next to a Harley.
As we pulled up there were 2 guys & a girl (were of Middle Eastern appearance & I assume were tourists) taking photos of eachother infront of & "holding" the Harley.
I turned the alarm on & gave them a 'look' as we walked away from my bike.
We had walked about 10m & I turned around. FUCK_ME they were now holding MY bike.
They knew they were doing wrong cause as soon as I turned they quickly jumped away.
I let it go & kept walking. I didn't trust them not to do it again so I walked around onto the lookout where I could see the bike. Sure enough the f***kers were at it again, so I pushed the re-arm button on the alarm remote. The alarm sounded & indicators blinked just as one of the guys & the girl were about to get close & cuddly hanging onto it.
They crapped themselves & all 3 of them ran like hell......
What pissed me off was that they tried to do it behind my back. If they had just come & asked, no problem.

Got to be careful doing that shit though. You know, the only time I've come off a road bike in 35 years of riding is when I was cut off by a tintop at that roundabout near Puffing Billy in Belgrave (Victoria). As my Sidi boot swung out to kick in his tailight, the delicate coefficient of friction between the Cheng Shin tyre on the shitbox I was riding, and the algae covered road (c'mon, it was winter in the Dandenong ranges, the roads don't get a chance to dry out) momenentarily lapsed, and rather embarrassingly I landed on my arse. The bogan actually extended his social finger at me and yelled "HOW'S THAT FOR KARMA YA CAHN!" as he did another lap of the roundabout and sped off, probably (and rightly) knowing full well that the SR250 courier bike I had parted company with was no match for his ol' Monaro.
As a motorcyclist, I find that the only way I can get respect from my fellow road users here in Perth is to forsake the Busa for my ten year old Nissan Patrol. It seems that the numerous off-road dents and deep gouges in the bullbar provide it with an invisible forcefield. No-one invades my personal space and other cars (and poofy 'SUVs') give it a wide berth. What my Busa needs is an aggressive 4WD hologram. For a while I thought that I should make it look like a cop bike, but judging by the number of cop bikes that appear at the salvage auctions, car drivers don't see them either. Maybe they're all on the drugs, (the drivers, not the cops).

My mate lifted the back of the other bike over & away from my bike as best he could & then proceded to kick all 4 indicators of said look-a-like piece of shit.
Hahahaha! That guy double-Failed, too: not only did he park too close to your bike but he also had a Harley look-alike. - Who the
f*** would want a Hardley, never mind a faux Hardley? What a toolbag.
I also have a mate who is known to smash mirrors and key 4WD's. He also says that sparkplugs are great for smashing windows with.
"casting dispersions on others credability." And their illiteracy.

a know a couple of large, strong chaps that have claimed a few mirrors in their time.
the removal of mirror with gloved fist or boot is normally accompanied with the advice that the driver doesnt need them, since they clearly dont use them
i heard a ball bearing at speed can pop right thru body work as well as a spark plug
oh..and the powder of spark plug ceramic will shatter glass on contact. something to do with an electrochemical reaction. a very satisfying one apparently.
