Birds keep taking a s**t on my bike!

Matz · November 13th, 2011, 04:55 PM

So the ninja was parked in my driveway this morning covered in bird s**t, I mean completely covered in it. So I pulled her out and gave her a wash. After I'd finished I went back inside and within an hour of returning there it was covered in it again. I couldn't be bothered to wash it this time so I just wiped it down with a damp cloth and went back inside. I then came back later on once it was dark and rode it into town, it was when I reached the street lights that I noticed that it was completely covered in it YET AGAIN! Apon closer inspection and vigorous analysis (involving some montage music) I came to a startling conclusion. I'm 78% sure its the same bunch of birds. What's weird though is that there's are 2 cars, my Hyosung and my sister's bike all parked next to it and there all fine? Is it cos it's green? Are they jealous? Are they plotting something? Is this just the beginning? Should I rub oranges on it? Or will that only work with cats?

Damn birds are haters.

So you're usually driving a s***ty bike?

In all seriousness though, why not just get a cover for it?

Or lace some bird seeds with kerosene or something similar.... *walks away whistling innocently*

Bols · November 13th, 2011, 05:16 PM

One thing is for sure, it's definitely not because it's green! Perhaps it's just nature's way of telling you to put a cover over that poor thing

akima · November 13th, 2011, 05:30 PM

Yep. Get yourself a cover. OXFORD make nice covers. I use the Rainex one. It's tough, and very weather proof. On the inside it has a special heat-resistent material around the exhaust area and has a scratch proof material everywhere else.

As for why they are picking on your bike; it's probably parked near a nest or another popular place for birds. My bike was getting sh*t on when I parked under a tree. I moved it out from there and it no longer got bombed.

gfloyd2002 · November 14th, 2011, 03:18 AM

Option one: They are using mobbing tactic as groups of birds chase away a potential predator. Your bike is certainly more threatening than a Hyosung. Take it as a compliment and thank God that elephants don't fly.

To resolve: Park next to a liter bike, which are far more threatening and usually driven by jerks who deserve to be pooped on. (Hell, I'm tempted to crap on liter bikes I see.) Consider a scarecrow.

Option two: In a previous life, you were worshipped as Beausaviataxl, Mayan goddess of nature, who was able to summon the very birds from the skies to do her bidding. Perhaps these modern birds don't understand that you're not her, and are simply trying to please you with their sacred offerings? To resolve: Chant in ancient Mayan language to the birds to let them know you've moved on, and don't need the offerings. Consider a scarecrow.

Option three: Birds crap a lot. They usually crap below what they are sitting on. Your bike is under a tree/ledge/wire and the others aren't under that same tree/ledge/wire. Or they are sitting on your bike because it is near food/water and shiny or they like your mirrors and enjoy looking at themselves. To resolve: Move your bike, cover your bike and/or fold in your mirrors. Consider a scarecrow.

Option four: It is the banking system and the conservative establishment's fault. Damn that Palin and the rest of the 1%! To resolve: Occupy your local city, using corporate products to promote the event while wearing sweatshop made Chinese T-shirts.

It's definitely one of Floyd's first 3 options; which it is, I don't know... they're all equally good guesses

gfloyd2002 · November 14th, 2011, 03:27 AM

I dunno, I'm leaning towards it being Palin's fault.

Come to think of it? It is parked on a bird burial ground?
I've actually got a cover coming in the post soon, it's an official Kawasaki one, although it looks so cool that I think I'm gonna need to buy another cover just to protect that one.

The most likely. I agree

Blackwidow · November 14th, 2011, 11:00 AM

everyone knows, even birds, that green bikes are ******...so they are giving you a message. you should have got the red...just saying.

onetruevibe · November 14th, 2011, 11:10 AM

And if had bought red, you would have come out to find the rare Paulette spider sitting on your scoot waiting to bite you in the a$$

Clarification: it's bad only if it stops with just a bite!

Matz · November 14th, 2011, 12:51 PM

I don't really like the red one to be honest, if it's bright green people assume it's a ninja and considering in my area I'm the only one with a 250 in a sea of 6r's, 12r's and 1400's.......yeah you get ma drift

Besides there ain't nothing better than telling the ladies that your Ninja's a "Special Edition"

...and I spell colour with an FI
