Turned around to find someone leaning on my bike... I'm speechless, the nerve of some people!   :)

I'd let that slide 8)  When I worked at Ace Hardware, I would park the bike up front so I could keep an eye on it.  Some random dude walks past it and SITS on it.  I walked out and said "its a nice bike huh?" and he was like "oh this is yours?"  I didn't even know what to say, in what world is it ok to sit on a strangers bike?

I would just ask him what he would do if he found me in his car and checking it out.

Hmmm, I must be honest I dislike the fairing.  I guess you could say I prefer the "naked" look.

If someone is on my bike, I'm probably going to act like they're going to steal it.  A good firm whack with a helmet seems like a great response to me.  If it's not yours, DON'T TOUCH.  Unless you're the girl on this bike, then just go ahead and knock it over. :D

A funny thing I saw was a guy that since I knew him was about, 50 or more ..short hair.
 His name is Ronald McDonald... Really...

 One day at a vintage event he has an album.. And shows me a pic of him with long long hair taken in the. 70,s
 He is sitting on a Vancouver cop bike, and they got the pic before the cop started screaming at him... He is sitting there ....smiling.......LMFAO....
