Crackheads get me again.

:huh: Not understanding what the broken off porcelain part of a spark plug has to do with a crack pipe? :S

Thought old sparkplugs (whole ones) were supposed to be worn as necklaces to break car windows. But never quite figured out that special attraction either.

Enjoying a sheltered life.

i had this one little honey jump in my truck at the local 7/11 and offer to give me a huuuummmmer for 5 buck's or a pack of smokes it didn't really mater which apparently. i declined and then that upset her to no end.

Ha ha...you said,"Hummer":laugh:

Last year I had a girl get in my truck at a red light. She wanted to go to a bar. I told her ok if she needed to go to a bar that bad I drove her to the bar. I guess she wanted to pay me back something so on the way there she kept flashing me her mammalarian protuberances. I'd just smile and say "very nice but you really don't have to do that". Good thing the bar was close. Dropped her off and I got home and Lysol'ed the seat. That stuff kill cooties? How about Bananaitial Skankroids? Now why can't they be beautiful, smart and CLEAN!

Wow! That sucks! I would definitely park it in front your place. Maybe chain a Rottweiler to it...

Motha' F#$$$#**&%&$(#@!

I went to get on the bike a little wile ago, and they got me again. Both sides this time. I think it was a different crackhead this time because the one in the past was polite enough to remove the cable from the spark plug before breaking it off. This guys cut the cables.

So, not only do I have to buy 2 new plugs, but I now need new cables. At least when I was hit by the guy who only takes 1 of the plugs I still could ride the 10 blocks to the parts store to pick up a new one.

There are about 10 bikes that park on that street, usually in clumps of 2 or 3. My bike is the only one this appears to be happening to, the others have their plugs tucked away a little better, making them harder to get to.

I think my short term solution is going to be removing the outside plugs every time I park the bike, and tucking the cables back into the engine.

Maybe next Friday and Saturday I will sit in the shadows of someones front stoop with a baseball bat, and wait for the bastards to come by. Though that could take awhile. Maybe I will drink beers while I am waiting. That way I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong if I catch them.

I guess I should also rotate the inside plugs out, to make sure that I have fresh plugs on every piston.

Make an alarm with a mercury switch placed under the seat and wire it to the horn or install a blaster horn to scare the shit out of him and also alert you. Park the bike where it will be tempting, when you hear the alarm set your beer down grab your baseball bat and knock out his last tooth. I have no pity for a thief or a crackhead for that matter.

If it was my bike I'd glue small peices of broken glass to the porcelain......like smallish.
Then ram the rest down his throat.

roll em in krazy glue and glass shards. I bet they will leave them alone then....

I don't know what I'd do if I caught some ass beating on my bikes....I know someone would need an ambulance!

Doc

sounds like you have pissed someone off dude.
id be waiting with a baseball bat.
