Exhaust scratched – parking etiquette in central London

[AChineseBiker]

Hello again people. Can I please ask if you know how best to remove these scratches from the heat cover? Parked up near work yesterday and later some people decided to lean their bike against mine. Without anyone else’s help available after work, I tried my best to wheel my bike free but ended up with these scratches. Ahhh!!!

I think those scratches are probably too deep to remove now so what’s the next step without buying a brand spanking new can, ACF50 Anti-Corrosion spray?

Many thanks!

Looking rather amorous don't know what to suggest maybe spraying with some high temperature matt black paint

I wouldn't bother , it looks like this sort of thing is acceptable in London , so it's likely to happen again . If it was me I would have extricated my bike and then kicked up the stand on the other bike and let it fall to the ground with a satisfying crash . What a total pig .

Exactly what I was thinking, i would of taken great satisfaction of kicking it over to get it off my bike or at least letting the tyres down before you ride away.

Parking etiquette + central London = does not compute.

I spent 10 years as a driver in London, just when you think you've seen it all someone amazes you with their stupidity!

The other bike would of definitely got kicked over , what a prick .

How on earth did the guy get off that bike? You'd have thought they'd have parked closer to the bike on the right to have room to dismount.

No wasted space, glorious

decided to leave a note with my number. Nothing aggressive though.

The other bike is a BMW though so probably assumed that you would just be overwhelmed by the general awesomeness of his bike.

the picture of her/his bike almost hugging mine from the back reminds me of a male pigeon doing the thing on top of a female pigeon

I would post the photos on some other social media sites without hiding his reg number

I would have let both tyres down.

We're all assuming a bloke did this but what's with the flower on the bike ? Mind you it is London .

I didn't assume any one of the 450 different rainbow spectrum identities that rides the other bike, I would suggest you put such stereotypes out of mind too or the lgbgtfurwstutrwfg brigade will be along to tell you off, remember I'm a toaster I should know.

She called me back just now and she was so apologetic. She asked me what I wanted and I said I didn’t want anything but thanked her for calling back. Hahahaha
