Animal Control = Hilarious...

97PSStang · August 30th, 2009, 04:33 PM

Hi everyone. I've been a member since I got my bike in April, and haven't posted yet, but I couldn't pass this up...

Came home today from a day out with friends to find this note on my bike. THEN was told by my roommate that Animal Control was here earlier holding pieces of salami under my bike cover trying to coax "it" out... My "meowing" gas cap!!!

I couldn't stop laughing and HAD to share this with you all. Ride Safe

Haha! That is great!

wayanlam · August 30th, 2009, 07:21 PM

woah... now that's just really blond! hilarious, however at the same time a little disturbing x) like come on...

although i'm sure the people at animal control have seen all sorts of things in their line of work, and a kitten stuck in some bike is just another common everyday thing. funny they couldn't tell the difference between a whistling noise and a kitten, rofl ^.^

that just make my cloudy gloomy day start with a smile

shporsche · August 30th, 2009, 09:30 PM

Ha ha, that's great! they must be real animal lovers to know the difference between a meow and a whistle.

My housemate sits out the front near my bike every the morn for his coffee, when it gets hot the bike starts to talk to him.

Going to have to show him this thread. ha ha

andrewexd · August 30th, 2009, 10:15 PM

lol I can proudly say I have never mistaken my bike for my cat though..

LazinCajun · August 30th, 2009, 11:06 PM

I'm in tears laughing, thanks for sharing lol

Locksmiff · August 31st, 2009, 01:18 AM

I am wondering why they bothered to make themselves look like fools, logically there wouldn't be anywhere you could put a cat or kitten in this bike and not see it. It makes you wonder if you could see if you could hide a cat in it someone and call someone over.....

"I have hidden a cat in here somewhere 100 bucks if you can find it"

Tigress · August 31st, 2009, 06:21 AM

BlueTyke · August 31st, 2009, 06:36 AM

So um.... didja find the cat??

Welcome to the boards!

ninjabrewer · August 31st, 2009, 07:50 AM

OMG that was good, that would have made a great youtube video of them walking around your bike with a salami, going, "kitty kitty kitty", esp if your bike "meowed" at them.

Welcome to the group.

Postiez · August 31st, 2009, 02:51 PM

i have come back to this thread like 5 times to laugh, good stuff xD

Locksmiff · August 31st, 2009, 04:00 PM

I had to take notice to the whistle today. I don't get how anyone can say it sounds like a cat. I wouldn't mind knowing did the Animal Control take it on face value from whoever rang them that they heard a cat coming from the bike or did they hear it too and also decide that they too could hear a cat somewhere stuck in the bike.

It would be cool if you could find the person who left you the note and say to them.

"Thanks for that I finally found it, it some how had crawled into the fuel tank last time I filled it"

Nevrfastenuf · September 1st, 2009, 05:33 AM

That's hilarious! I can't help but laugh every time I read that note.

I think the title for the gas cap drilling thread should be changed to the DIY - Kitten removal mod...

emt250 · September 1st, 2009, 12:42 PM

wow. just wow.

OldGuy · September 1st, 2009, 01:04 PM

MrTiddles · September 2nd, 2009, 09:05 PM

P1NDLESK1N · September 2nd, 2009, 09:28 PM

It would have been even better if you stumbled upon them all around your bike feeding it salami.

Samer · September 5th, 2009, 11:47 AM

Hey man, just because the gas cap whistles doesn't mean there ISN'T a cat in your bike!

Kind of like, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get me.

Nonetheless, absolutely hilarious!

zail · September 5th, 2009, 01:08 PM

That's great!

Near where I park my bike at work there were a pair of nesting geese and someone told me they used to peck at the wheels of my bike.. not anyone else, just mine.. wonder if that was after it had made the whistling noise... hmmm.. maybe they thought it was a cat....

GigaHz · September 5th, 2009, 02:33 PM

My Ninja doesn't meow, or whistle. It GROWLS on command of a flick of the right hand. I guess it has a tiger in the tank.

Strider · September 5th, 2009, 03:12 PM

That's hilarious! I can just see someone trying to coax out the cat ... "Here kitty kitty"

PS :

Momaru · September 8th, 2009, 09:04 AM

That's hilarious. +1 to the people wondering how Animal Control mistook it for a cat; I just don't see it. Thanks for sharing Brian, that brightened my day a lot

headshrink · September 8th, 2009, 02:20 PM

They don't all sound like a whistle. Some don't make any sound and some, like mine, let out a long "moan." Sounds like a long sustained "Mew" sound instead of a "Meow" sound.

hybridxx · September 25th, 2009, 11:36 AM

lol would've been funny if u got there when they were doing it and u just go along with the whole thing..

Mine sound exactly like a stuck cat. I have heard the exact sound from one of my cats before when it got stuck on a roof, stuck around my porch, and one time came home with a broken leg. First time I heard it on my bike this past spring. I had my bike parked next to the workshop and the kids and I went looking for a stuck cat all around the workshop. Took a good 10 mins. to figure out it was coming from my gas cap.

Seattle_Chris · October 27th, 2009, 03:56 AM

LMAO, this is a great thread! This is my first bike, and it too Mews. I've seen the youtube videos of the whistle, or the beeping, but mine mews. Only I heard it at a stop sign before getting home, otherwise I would have thought it was my cat as well!

I searched all over the place looking for where the sound was coming from before I decided that it might be something from expanding/shrinking fuel or water and just googled it.

I searched and turned things on and off for a good 5 minutes! Looking back on it, it's hilarious!

Now if only I can teach my cat to ditch his nagging meow, for my bikes warms cozy mew.

noche_caliente · October 29th, 2009, 03:46 PM

scotty · February 17th, 2011, 04:43 PM
