No, you don't understand, that was VTNewb silencing his Harley. Or was it? I would unironically like a cafepress teddybear in an "Ola" sweater. Sort of a CA mascot, if you will. I could tape one to each knee slider.

Well my new quieter exhaust somehow leaned out my sportster. I have no idea how this is possible, but the plugs are snow white, it pops like crazy, and it has trouble revving past 4500 now. Time to rejet!

The best part is adding the cost of two bottles of that wine to make new pipes out of wouldn't really make a noticeable difference in the purchase price of a lot of Harleys. It's all going on credit, anyways.

How the gently caress do you drift a lane over RIGHT AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN? Dude looked at me like I was insane when I held down the horn. That's when I shot off, one finger in the air. If only I could wheelie. Seriously boggles my mind though, front of the light, it turns green, we don't even clear the intersection before he's taking up 3/4 of my lane and totally clueless about it. I should really find somewhere new to ride, all the roads are flat and straight here on the prairies, so I ride the two busiest roads in the city during heavy traffic for fun.  Just had to get that out. def snow leppard fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Jun 19, 2011 |

There's a double left in front of my work and inevitably someone in the close lane drifts into the far lane like they don't know how these things work.

Goddammit, some loving punk let his goddamn dog piss all over the loving wheel of my goddamn bike. How do I best inflict grievous bodily harm upon him and/or get his dog to stop pissing on my bike, since the owner is clearly not smart enough to manage it.

Outright confrontation often leads to very hostile situations. For my, some rear end in a top hat had his dog making GBS threads in my yard constantly. I could tell because he had a big dog and it was pretty regular. My answer? I waited till I had a free day then holed up with a novel and computer and waited for him. Never ended up catching the guy, but eventually he got tired of letting his dog poo poo in our yard. The bitch of it is, I'm pretty sure it happened because my dad confronted a guy doing it a week or so before. Whatever for him, but /I'm/ the one who has to cut the god drat grass. So, obviously you should hole up and wait to catch them in the act, then follow them home (they're walking ffs, just trail a bit) and start pissing on the person's tire. Every day. After a while it doesn't even need to be piss.

After a while it doesn't even need to be piss. I think he lives in one of the apartments right where I park my bike. His dog sometimes barks at me through the window when I come home. I've been considering using salt or oil of hartshorn, that poo poo stinks like you wouldn't believe and is sometimes used to keep dogs and cats away. I'm considering whether to spread it around the bike or in his mailbox. A litre or so of sticky stinky oil should suffice. Although perhaps the jug of chainsaw oil I have somewhere would be bad enough. Saga posted:Amateur - you piss on the dog. No, the dog is innocent and only following its nature. I've met it before since he just opens the door and lets it run around freely. It's very friendly and playful, but the owner is a total dickhead. Pissing on the owner would be the correct response.

it's just dog piss, it'll be clean the next time it rains. If the guy was walking up and deliberately pissing on your bike himself, or if he was walking the dog and stopping at your bike and encouraging his dog to piss on it, that'd be a different matter. You said he lets the dog run free though, so it will piss anywhere it likes. Dogs pissing on your bike is the least concern you should have about parking your bike outside in public.

So you think it's okay to have your personal property soaked in piss? Bikes are usually locked with disk locks and chain locks that usually rest partially on the ground? I was only by pure luck that the disk lock wasn't soaked in piss as well. I don't know about you, but I would prefer not to get any piss on my hands and gloves. It's pretty much the same thing as someone pissing on your door handles or mailbox lid, completely unacceptable. Besides, it may be weeks before I go ride in the rain, the bike is usually covered and won't see any rain while parked. I've studied local dog laws and they actually state that dogs should be kept on a leash or under complete control of their owner. Failure to respect this and/or any damage to other people's property will result in a fine. In grievous cases the dog will be put down. I'd say that deliberately letting your dog piss on other people's personal property or just letting the dog run wild constitutes a violation.

You're just assuming that the dog minds being pissed on. Anthropocentricist! e: maybe just leave a sign on it saying in big letters "Please don't allow your dog to piss on my motorcycle. Yes, you."? If you like it can be in Danish, but let's face it no-one can understand you guys, so it might as well be in English. It may not have occurred to the owner why you would have your nose inches from the wheel, albeit he should be controlling his dog properly and not letting it wee on people's stuff in general.

I was thinking about a polite letter asking him not to let his dog piss all over other people's things and that if it continues, the caretaker and property manager will be informed. If that does not change his behavior, the police will be informed that the dog is running around without a leash, pissing on everything and menacing children. Properly addressed and signed of course, he'd be more than welcome to contact me and try and explain why he has no control over his dog. Perhaps I'll print out a copy of the laws concerning dogs and send that to him as well with the relevant sections highlighted.
