Why do Ppl Tip over bikes?

I just dont understand. Is it personal? Today I took my KZ750 Twin out, and left my 72 Honda CB 750 parked in front of my friends house - at the END of the parking row, with VERY little traffic (Brooklyn, NY) . It was close to the curb and parked PARALLEL to the curb, not at the usual 90 degree angle that is a sure bet to get your bike knocked over. BTW it was on the CENTER STAND.

After being out I got back to my friend's spot and the bike is on its side, OFF the centerstand, but with no damage. What the hell is wrong with ppl. Is it a vendetta? Am I paranoid? Is it jealousy? There is NO way, absolutely NO WAY that bike was knocked over by accident. It takes a LOT to get a 750 off its center stand.

Somebody messing with ya?

Im thinking so because last week I had the KZ750 on its kickstand and that was knocked over when I woke in the morning (we have a band and I crashed at the spot because I was too tired to go home). Woke up in the morning and the bike was on its side.

Luckily these old bikes are tough, and the KZ only had a broken mirror. Ppl are evil....

Nah I dont deal in that. Revenge is a bitter empty circle. Plus Im a Christian and I leave that stuff to God. I dont have time to go around puncturing ppls tires and whatnot. Its like, when you do something bad to get revenge on someone, you then leave yourself open to have revenge exacted on you for trying to get revenge.

The thing that boggles my mind is, it takes a LOT to get a bike off the center stand. In broad daylight, Im astounded that someone was able to do this. Like I said, ppl are evil

I don't mean violence. There was a guy that hung around and I couldn't get rid of him. I played pranks on him until he left. Had fun doing it too.:woohoo:

Hmm. Well I have no idea who this might have been and I doubt I ever will. Ill just be careful from now on and keep my bikes in a safe place. Like I said, lots of evil ppl out there. Jealous....

I know what you mean. I was trying to help Clippinger. He was jealous too. Lots of stories about that jerk. He didn't like waking up to dirty socks in his face. That did it.:lol: I'll bet it's someone you know.

Small people with tiny minds just being mean for meanness' sake. They must get some sort of warped satisofrom it. No different than keying random cars in a parking lot. Some people just can't stand others having nice things.

Good Ridin'

Yeah. my friend in Williamsburg had his Harley tank keyed. How ridiculoius is that?!!

That's so frustrating! Glad there wasn't more damage.

I had my Vaquero two weeks, and when I was detailing it before covering, I noticed scratches on the right-side frame and engine guards. Rode back to work and see matching black marks (guards are black powdercoat) on the ground. Owner of the lot gave me a hard way to go. I bet it was his laborers working on his landscaping. Can't prove it though, and they did put the bike back up after knocking it over. Who knocks an 850lb bike over?

Has never happened to me but for some reason I've been thinking about this. Been planning a trip to the river boat and could just picture some A hole taking his loss out on my bike or on a nice Mustang (if I ever take the plunge) and spend half my life savings. Feel sorry for ya guys its something that would endlessly eat at me and would want revenge.
