Title: Idiot friends touching your stuff
Post by: Dr. Evil on January 21, 2022, 09:23:42 AM: I need to tap the collective knowledge. I'm not good at making long stories short but I'm going to try.

Wife's 2016 Fat Bob, 3000 miles... I left an idiot friend alone in my bike garage... I hear a cold start up and extreme revving... I run in and punch his stupid ass and shut it off.

He rides non-HDs and apparently turned into an idiot 10 year old when allowed to touch one for the first time. Shame on me for thinking he's not a moron.

Fresh Amsoil days prior to the moronic action. I know theoretically what damage could be done, but does anyone have any firm opinions?

Should I put new oil in it? :confused5:

I'm so pissed I can't see straight. Thanks in advance.

I will beat the living crap out of it, but give it a chance to get the oil moving :-\

Sounds like an old friend who's just screwing with you. Knows how to push your buttons. And in the middle of this Pan-Damnit he was probably looking to get a laugh.

Apparently, it is not very difficult.

X2. A damn good ass chewing would have went a long way. Hope He didn't bleed on your floor.

Post by: HOGMIKE on January 21, 2022, 06:04:59 PM: I had a friend’s daughter wanting to touch my chopper years ago, I told her not to let her daughter touch the hot bike and the reply was “it’s ok she won’t hurt it”. Next thing I know the little girl was crying and her mom was in my face!
Told them both to have a nice day and goodbye. Had that burnt skin on that pipe for a LOOONG time!

You can’t cure stupidity. :drink:

Post by: CVODON on January 21, 2022, 09:16:23 PM: I hope the boast about punching him was just to make you feel important. New oil? What? A friend for forty years. and you get this upset? Strange.

Post by: 99 Blue flame on January 22, 2022, 10:15:27 PM: I don't know, I was taught as a child. If it's not yours, you don't touch it without asking. I would NEVER do that to my friends.

Post by: Dr. Evil on January 23, 2022, 01:44:11 PM: It was a friendly punch :drink:
Relax.

It's the principle. Don't beat up on other people's chit.

Asked about the oil because I thought maybe the lack of oil flow caused some grinding.

I'm glad everyone is perfect!

Post by: iski on January 23, 2022, 02:28:59 PM: Your bike, your garage, your rules, & in this case your idiot friend. Unless the bike is making more racket than the usual Harley racket when running, would not worry about it unless it throws a rod or the motor falls out or something. ;) :drink:
