Around 9:30pm I arrive at a place in china town to grab a quick bite to eat. I park my bike away from all the garbage that the restaurants are putting out for their private garbage collectors to take away.
I walk inside and order my food, and sit down with my gf. About 30 minutes later a young fellow comes up to me and goes, is that your Ducati?
I said yea, is it still there okay? You dont look to happy...
"Its covered in garbage juice."
I go out there. ITs worst than garbage juice. Its the sewage that resturants remove from their drains. about 30 gallons of lard, rice, chicken, pig, duck, beef, oil and whatever shit that gets cleaned of dishes, blended nicely in a brown shitstain. all over my bike, tires, gauges, front tire, tank, rotors, chain, udder. the whole nine yards. The guy even got some on the car that i was next to. for the most part, it was all over the floor and on my tires
I dont know what terrible thing i did to anyone lately as ive been pretty much staying away from civilization. But karma got me today. I had to push my bike out of the puddle of sewage. But i couldnt because my feet wouldnt grip onto the pavement. after struggling to get some traction i managed to creep my bike out of the mess onto the sidewalk, and the resturant owner was nice enough to give me several buckets of water, some soap and a roll of bounty. I had to scrub the fat off my wheels and udder. And then burn the fat off my rotors. When i applied the brakes they would steam up and the whole bike would smell like disgusting shit. I took a good 1 mile ride just to make sure the bike woudlnt slip and have me and my gf on the pavement.
I got home at midnight and spent the last hour and a half taking apart my rotors to be cleaned. and i think im going to have to change all my brake pads since they are contaminated with sewage grease.
So yea, this is why people pregnant dog about how make the beast with two backsing retarded this city is. because only in THIS city, will someone drag a garbage bag full of liquid shit 20 feet and rip it open ontop of your bike.
My bike STILL smells like this shit even though i just dumped detergent on it and scrubbed and hosed it down for an hour and a half.
New York City, make the beast with two backs YOU. And god help me if i ever find out who did this shit. I will make the beast with two backsing rip your nut sack out and skull make the beast with two backs you with a frozen piece of human feces.

Sorry, that sucks. :(
I have never heard anything like that! I can't put into words how I would feel if that happened to me. Not good He Man. Sounds like a grease trap truck just sucked up a trap and didn't have any valves closed and roared off up the street diarroehring all over the place. >:(

He Man... I feel your pain.
I never had chinatown garbage (omfg) dumped on my bike. But living there 20+ years really turned me on to the whole definition of "lowlifes."
No, not everyone. I know plenty of people in NYC who will give their left nut for you if you're good for them. Two of them are on this board occasionally (and know who they are) but being in an overcrowded place messes with a person's mind.
A friend (who shall remain nameless unless he wants to speak up) had parked his bike in front of his building and looked out to see someone trashing it -- i mean pushed it over and some other stuff. Not his ex wife, but just some random people. What happened after is another story, but point is, stuff happens like this in NYC that doesn't happen many other places.
I feel your pain.
...and that's a big part of why I left the whole area. Even if you moved out to the island or jersey, you are still surrounded by the wannabes.
Go west, young man.
first off...you parked in chinatown? :o
that's brave in itself.
second, that city is full of dickwads. the only reason i am amazed at things people do to each other and complete strangers is because i moved out of that city.
That is just horrible I have had my share in this city too. When I go to the city on the bike I park in a garage for reasons like this. There are too many inconsiderate asses in the city and some areas like Chinatown have a larger concentration of them. Let me know if I can help.
that is seriously messed up.
Send in the pigeons!

[roll] Just spent another hour degreasing my swingarm. The udder needs to be taken off and grinded with a orbital sander to get the fat out of the pores. and i have to take apart my gauges to get the fat juice out of there too.
This shit is seriously the worst thing that has ever happened to my stuff.
Pakhan, do you have a time traveling device so i can watch the dude do it and stab him in the eye with a frozen hotdog?

Wish I did. I do have a friend in Qns that has a detailing shop and a friend in Bklyn with a pick up and tie downs. Maybe we can work something out. Goodluck

I was there not that long ago and saw no grease or drain sludge being discarded anywhere I'd park a vehicle.
Whatever.
Find out if any of the stores nearby have cameras, maybe you can get video and the name of the carting companies for local businesses.

good point, but part of the problem is if you don't know the street, you don't know where ppl pile up their trash -- everyone just puts it on the street. i've parked at a pristine spot at night only to come back the next day and there is a 9 ft tall mountain of trashbags next to my car -- i have to get in from the passenger side.
there aren't designated "trash spots". if you don't know the street, you can get screwed.
that being said, it looks like someone did this on purpose to the guy's bike.

[laugh] electricity. You guys are funny. What do you guys have a power plant or something? only big cities have that. ;D
In all seriousness though. I dont have full coverage. Ive gotten most of the smell out, but its stuck somewhere between my seat and the frame. and its still on my udder. so drastic measure needs to be taken. I dont think theres security cameras in this part of chinatown. DIdnt see any there.
For the record, i was not parked next to a dumpster or a pile of garbage. However i was parked next to a taxi that had a pile of garbage about 5 feet in front of it.
That pile of garbage ended up being dragged past the taxi onto my bike and then the dude rung around and threw it ontop of my gauge/triple area. theres sewage marks from when it ripped on my passenger pegs, on the pavement, onto my guages and then the sewage just ends. THe truck left a few bags stuffed underneath the taxi cab too.
dude, chinatown is one of the dirtiest places i have even been to.
at least the one in manhattan. flushing was actually rather clean.
i wouldn't park anything in that part of town. it's pretty much guaranteed to have something happen to it.
That's truly horrible. I'd rather crash and rebuild my beloved Duc, than try to get Chinatown garbage stink and grease out of the gauges.

best time to experience this is in july/august when the sun is out, the temp is about 85-90 and the fish markets and restaurants have put trash out.
nothing yummier than rotting cuttlefish and pig entrails!

They have no idea how to keep anything clean there. The juices build up and they dont even bother to wash it off. That area is make the beast with two backsing filthy.
I remember walking by some sort of fish market and they were throwing whatever they could into the storm drain area
produce, fish parts, shrimp, bones, etc.
It was make the beast with two backsing disgusting.
I used to like china town as a kid, but I avoid that place at all costs. The only time I come close is going to center street for small claims, L&T, or getting in trouble.
Why would you go there in the first place? Even the restaurants that used to be great aren't so great anymore and you can get better quality elsewhere.
don't people go there to buy knock off shit?

Theres still some good spots. But for the most part i go to 8th ave in brooklyn.
However, no matter where you go. Chinatowns are generally very very smelly places because of seafood. Just a few fish can over power the smell of sun rotted beef!
Well at least it wasn't torched (http://www.ktvu.com/news/20270181/detail.html)
Or at least they didn't saw off your sparkplugs (http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/27499971.html).
i have 4 plugs, it would of been better if a crack head stole 2 of them, my bike would still start. lol

I just moved back east (dirty jerz) from San Francisco, and I think it may have been one of the worst decisions I have made. As soon as I got into the state I was tailgated for about 6 miles until I pulled into my driveway. People are assholes, shitty drivers and it is humid here. Yes the pizza is better, but pretty much everything else sucks.

Don't bring a knife (bat) to a gunfight!
Perhaps I was engaging in a bit of posturing - I have never blocked traffic. Usually people just pass with a single finger salute. Fine with me - I don't want someone like that behind me.
Can't carry legally in MD in the vehicle, so I don't. The only way to get concealed carry in MD is to prove you own a business that requires you to move lots of cash around. I don't qualify. I've only had to get out once 'cause some crazy dude was following me and I didn't want him to find my house. I stopped. He stopped. I got out

I just went to NYC and left with swine flu. It was an exciting time, saw some friends, cool stuff everywhere. And I pretty much wanted to bath in Purell every 15 minutes or each subway ride. Should have. Sick as a dog 4 days.
From there I went to N. Carolina. OMG for a place so near, it couldn't be further away. Genuinely engaging people, eagerly polite, social, look you in the eye kind of people. Sure there were some frightening rebel flag waving types, but they seemed few and a banal element. Lots of bikes out near the beach and people seemed respectful of their space.

And, on the subject of poor judgment (theirs not yours), sorry to hear about your bike, He Man - I hope it has been degreased and is fully operational.

This really sucks! >:( Best wishes in getting the bike cleaned up.
I remember a few times walking by during collection hours late at night and, because parking was literally bumper to bumper on the curbs, the garbage guys would just slide the trash bags on the tops of the hoods of cars to pass onto the double-parked garbage trucks. [roll]
jeebus.. i bet that happened more in the non-doorman areas of town. fortunately, where i parked on the street was all doorman buildings and they would actually try to keep things civil. never know whose car that is...

I'd have to agree unfortunately. One reason why I always liked the periodic downpour in the city.
the sidewalk wash water -- frothing, yellowish brown, the bane of fish...
man this is gross. thank god for alley ways in dallas for trash.
i remember my g/f getting something on her shoe in organic chem lab one day.
the shoe was stained a pretty cool shade of purple. they tried a few solvents to get it off, but it didn't do anything.
we tried scrubbing it witha f ew household cleaners and using bleach on the rubber parts that were stained. nothing.
in the 3 blocks from my apt to the subway in the rain the stain dissapeared.
no, there's nothing contaminating the run off from that city.... :o

The cleaners you tried had the wrong pH. ;)
