Other guy's movers messing with my bike

[lead_magnet]

while i understand your feelings, i think they probably did you a favor.

would you be more pissed that they knocked it over trying to get around it with a wheel dolly.

they moved it because they felt it was the responsible and safer thing to do, seems like they were showing you respect rather than disrespect.

everyone is so touchy these days.

believe me i take just as much pride in my things as the next guy, and would be pissed if anyone scratched my truck or dented something that worked hard for, but i think you should take a second look at what they did for you.

Not sure if you're not a bike guy, but touching another persons bike is a HUGE no-no. It's pretty much equivilant to somone walking up to your shooting bench and starting to fondle your firearms. Even when I was riding with a club in vegas, you still didn't touch anyone else's bike...let alone move it. What if they hopped in your car and moved it? Same thing, it's an invasion. Sorry, but it's not even remotely acceptable, they should have attempted to contact the owner so he could move it.

i do not ride, but if you think that makes it impossible to understand or empathize then you are just egotistical.


I have the same attitude and feelings about my truck, my boat, my hot rod.

no different and no less important, if they had just moved it for the sake of moving it then get pissy, they were doing him a favor.

my guess is he lives in an apartment, they dont have time or means to go knocking on everyone's door to find him, for all you know they did.

i am not saying it was right, i am saying there are other sides to it and other ways to look at it.

not everything that happens to us in this world is worth getting in a twist about.

I would file a complaint about them blocking the driveway. What if you had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency?

That'd piss me off! I'd definitely file a complaint, they don't get in someones car if it's unlocked and pop the clutch to roll it out of the way do they? If they won't move call the po po and let them know your driveway is being blocked. Everything could of been avoided by a simple knock on the door asking you to possibly move your bike.

Calling the po po around here would get nothing done. I live in a cul-de-sac where there are park users that block our driveways. My neighbor has a sick wife and called the cops to complain about a car blocking his driveway. Ecause he might have to take her to the hospital...they're reply was "call an ambulance". Fucking bullshit!

OP you can make a complaint but I doubt it'll do anything. I would just have some choice words with the MFers and call it a day!

I should clarify my statement. I was referring to filing a complaint with the moving company and not the police.

I'm sure if the police will not do anything you can definitely get them towed if they won't move if you really don't want them blocking your drive. Just need to be able to show proof it's your home.

It is not egotistical, you just don't get it. You have no point of reference. That is okay. It does not make you a bad person. It just means you do not know what you are talking about, and that lack of understanding of the rules in the biker community is what will get you into a world of hurt when you mix with biker esp. The 1% crowd. Violate the rules, get a beatdown.

[Skully]

It would upset me to have someone move or touch my stuff without asking, period.

Maybe it is because I was the only child and am still like that.

They "should" have asked first to see if it can be moved, I am sorry if it is not mine or the person I am working for I need to "ask" first. Respect people's property, that is one of the problems our society has today, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, ........sing it with me!!!

As far as filing a complaint not sure on what level of bad, that is up to you, something might come out of it, but being a big company who knows if the grunts ever would get told.

whatever man, i totally get it, i just dont think they meant to disrespect him and they were giving him a measure of safety. they were not just some other dickhead that wanted to touch his bike. call their manager he will straighten them out. getting pissy with the guys that moved it only makes you the aggressor at that point. just call the cops before they do.

i am sure that they were dicks to him because of the attitude he gave them right off the bat. same attitude from some of guys posting here. ( i would have blown up in their face. that never gets you anywhere) he probably would have gotten the apology he is looking for had he called the manager of the company and not tried to deal with the movers.

these guys are movers, they lift heavy shit all day for a living, he is proabably lucky they were on the clock and did not clean his for him.

they probably would have apologized and the manager would have probably also had it been handled differently that is all i am saying.

Not trying to be antagonistic here, but would you feel the same way if it had been your truck, boat, or hot rod that a mover took the liberty to just move?

wife , kids , bike ,guns or dog hands off!!!

So, what I hear you saying is you're leaving yourself open for touching. Is that about right?

absolutely, but he is looking to complain, which he should and he should get an apology which he deserves. that was my point i understand being pissed off, but it could have been handled already.

we are not talking about an outlaw biker here and some 1%er that needs a beat down or the two movers would have been stabbed already and we would be having a completely different conversation.

i would have never moved the bike, but i do think they were trying to help him not be dicks
