I think a fuzzy little cover left across the seat with a nice long thumb tack in it would do the trick. Just remember it's there before sitting

And Frank your dogs nose has a booger hanging there.


It's probably food.

I'm going to hang around your bike in Helen and let people sit on it.

Nothing to do but sit back and watch the fun...

Re:Stranger sitting on bike? 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
I actually did. I supervise the Driver Education program at a local high school. This past summer I was sitting in my office and looked out the window and one of kids the sitting on my bike, bouncing up and down, like he was going down the highway. Fortunately (for me) I was able to cool off a little before I got him!


Then the little punk tried to deny doing anything wrong. I just told him to call his parents. When they got there, I explained what happened and that was it for him in my class.


Now his parents have to pay for DE, or let him wait 'til he's 18 to drive.

I have an alarm on my bike don't think they would want to hear the 138 decibels to long. All the light flash plus I get notified. Had a buddy try to mess with me after it was installed. He didn't know it was on the bike, man was he freaked out. I guess it works is all I could say paged me went to see what all the commotion was.

Re:Stranger sitting on bike? 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
We were in Austin, Texas last summer for the R.O.T. rally and had our show bikes on display in the arena. It was like 105F outside and 70F in the arena so it was really crowded inside. All of the bikes have signs on the seat that say "Please look but DO NOT SIT or TOUCH". Pretty easy to see and read. You will not beleive the amount of people that sit on the signs on the seat of the bikes. One of the bikes has a price of $250,000.00 and a red velvet seat that people love to touch and sit on. I walk over and say Hey, didn't you see the sign? What sign? The one under you AZZ!! Oh that sign. Sorry I didn't see it. Dumb Azz people. What can you do besides shake your head and tel them to get off nicely because we are there for business. Only way you can sit on our bikes is if you look like a super HOT model type or you have a cashiers check or cash in your hand.

****NOTE****This happens at ALL bike shows, not just the R.O.T. show.

I had a young couple approach me last summer and ask me if they could sit on my bike and have me take there picture.
I said that would be fine (mainly because she was fine:woohhttp: ).After taking the picture, they climbed off and said "Nice Harley"

Yes it is a show thing. I used to take the Heavy transport trailers we made out to the ConExpo shows in Vegas every 4 years. We would pay sometimes a $100,000 or more to be in that show and by mid day you could never even see the trailers or show them to someone for all the people sitting on them taking a break.

Well, at least they asked. If someone asks if they can sit on my bike, that's a little different than finding some stranger just hopping on the bike like it's theirs, or something.
