    Bike parking at work

    Any one have a vehicle wheel boot they don't want any more?

    There is an asshole at the plant that thinks the motorcycle parking area is his private jeep parking spot. Complain, they talk to him and then it gets parked there agian the next day. Oh, wait a minute thats right the night shift supervisor and this guy are buds. So when he comes in I move the bike to another spot. Waiting for the plant manager to complain about where I putting the bike. When he does I'll just stear him over to the bike spot. As much as I want to get this taken care of, this guy is an ass and I want it to be taken care of with out being labeled as a rat.


    Would love to have one of the wheel boots to put on the fuckers jeep when nobody is there and just loose the key.

    better yet just pull the pins out of the stems. Does not take long and it will be very hard for him to notice.

    Try something simple like putting a ton of ty-raps around his driveshaft. Makes one hell of a noise

    Did you say Jeep? So you mean there's enough clearance to get to the oil drain plug?

    I would talk to the guy directly. Get him to one side when no-one else will hear and say "The next time I see your car in the motorcycle spot, I will make sure it only has 2 wheels"

    derek

    How about even more subtle.. just stick gum in the valve stems of the tires, he won't even notice until next time he's lost pressure and needs to fill the tires.

    Of course people in cars are so clueless you are probably just punishing some poor service guy if you do that.

    Jim - I would park your bike directly behind his jeep...he'll get the hint after that..

    or right in front of the front door...

    I was thinking more of parking in the plant managers spot.

    As far as saying something to him, like I said he is a major asshole and he also runs a front end loader. It would be to easy for him to have an accident with the bike. But maybe some small pebbles under the valve stem cap would work nicely, let the air out real slow from one tire but make sure I do the same to the spare...

    the plant mgrs spot is good and so is parking right behind him or next to the door with a disc lock on so he cant roll it out of the way.................on the other hand talking to him might be a better approach. Maybe hes just ignorant to the reason why there is special concrete pads for bikes. Youd be surprised how times i had to explain to poeple why i parked on the concrete sidewalk instead of the asphault.......in ARIZONA!!!! The pavement practically bubbles in the summertime. how do think it would take for a bike to sink into that

    And what happens if he says "hey, next time i see your bike, it may have accidently fallen over"

    Screwing with the other persons belongings isn't going to do shit to help solve the problem and will probably just cause more. If he's "in" with the plant manager or whatever you're probably out of luck. If someone wants to label you as a "rat" for sticking up for your rights to park your bike where it's supposed to be parked, so be it IMO. It's better than being shit on like he's doing to you now
    That's just my $.02 though

    I don't know your profession or how into your job you are, but if it was me I would send an email (if possible) to the facilities manager asking him if the MC parking can be preserved for MCs only. If that doesn't work, then your company facilities guy sucks and you could maybe take it up with another Sr. Manager/Exec/owner/partner type.

    Email cc'ing your boss is not a bad way to fly because it compels the person to repsond to the email. I would note the pattern of continual complaints that yeild 'talkings to' that yeild no resolution. Puts the guy you've escalated to on the hot seat provided there some accountability to be had there.

    Oh and use a little sand in the valve stems it will work its way in and leave him with a slow leak in all tires

    Your situation stinks, so help his to do so equally. Hunting aids are your friend, fox urine. The dispensers are fast to get through window edge seals too.

    Dude will be going through his car for weeks trying to figure out what died in it. People will not speak to him, and no one will ride in said jeep.

    You need to use something that will not lubricate itself.

    If you plug and exhaust it will not work.But if the pressure can force it out first you've wasted your time.

    Yeah I'd forget what I said about trying to talk to management, just go straight for the fox pee. He might still park there but only until he has to trade in the jeep for something less stinky...!

    You know those needles that blow up basketballs, footballs, etc...I've always thought about cutting the end that screws into the air hose, leaning 4 needles against the tires so that when they back up or drive forward, they'd have 4 relatively slow leaks?

    Reason for selling: too big for the MC parking spots at work.............
