:mad: This is the second time my sparkplugs have been broken off by crackheads. This time it happened during the day where I park my bike along with about 100 other bikes. It must have been my time again. :2guns:
Is there some kind of housing that I can put on to protect the sparkplub from these people?
Any help greatly appreaciated as it's becoming costly to keep repairing.
Thanks.
Tom
How about making it all gross. Like putting something sticky all over it. Maybe they would get discouraged and move onto the next bike over.

hire an illegal with a shotgun to sit by your bike :laugh:
without looking at it i dunno if i could come up with a great idea... maybe a piece of sheet metal with unfinished edges around the spark plug. that way they would have to reach in there to get to it, and any amount of force would mean sliced open fingers
covering it with something nasty like grease is a good idea too
well, actualy, right after I posted about covering it with gross stuff, it occured to me that plugs get realy hot, so the stuff would smoke and produce a stinch.
pour cement around plug area and insert broken glass in it.
well hope to you it doesnt happen again..... cause it really sucks
Bring your old sparkplugs and set them on the curb behind your bike.
And, rat poison them.
Or, set them next to your installed sparkplugs.
Just take them with you. But the rat poison idea sounds really good too.
I have seen this several over times posted on this board. Is this a San Fran thing... I believe the previous postes were from there too.
wait, what? they just were knocked off (broke) park some were else or in a wider spot.
No crackheads smoke crack out of them....
hold the f%$king phone, crack heads DO WHAT?
Smoke crack out of spark plugs
Yeah, all us cool kids are doing it. :laugh:
so how does one do this? i must know.
Yes they break off both ends and then use the glass cylinder to smoke after they have stuffed one end with steel wool or something of the like.

Yes, and yep.
The porcelan (sp) makes a good insulator (duh), and they do just as Aj has described.
Search just crackhead and you'll get all the posts regarding this phenominominom.
Most prevalent on www.BayAreaRidersForum.com (again use search).
yea i just googled it, unfucking belivable, hell i would even park the bike in a area like that.
i have never seen any type off drugs so i dotn even know what the stuff looks like, i woudl guess a pouder or is it rock, hell doent matter. still dotn see that stuff around here.
Its in rock form and they stuff the pipe with steel wool so when they are puffing the rock doesnt come back and hit them in the back of the throat. Damn do you want to know how to make crack too, yes I know that also. These are just the perks of having a degree in Sociology. :thumb:
Fairings, the crack head detourant. If they can't see the plugs that are a lot less likely to wonder over and snap them off. The bike parked next to mine at a bar had his done like this. He was on the phone complaining, rightfully so, to someone that was going to come and get him. He asked me why someone would do that, i said crackheads man, they smoke out of porcelin (SP). He was flabergasted by that. Mine still have plugs, probably because the fairings don't make them easily accessible.
EDIT : Fairings don't make it crackhead proof though, i have had one plug done that way, not both though.
omfg... i never knew that... i was like 'why is everyone saying to put rat poisoning on it' and 'how would putting broken plugs next to your good ones help'... i guess crack is just one of those drugs you don't see in white suburbia... i mean i'm not sheltered, like pot, shrooms, acid, coke, e, whatever i know dozens of ppl who do them, but crack nope never seen that
so aj are you saying you have to smoke crack to get a degree in sociology? :laugh: :kiss3:
Lol no you dont although I think some of my professors did. I took a course called Drugs and Social Policy. Let me just say I learned more about drugs than I ever would like/need to know.
If you don't have a big enough dose of rat poison, all you are going to do is give them an even better high than usual. So by using rat poison you are basically either:
a) will give them a heart attack
b) will give them one hell of a high (think speed)
I, *ahem*, have known people to consume rat poison in their drugs on purpose. Unless it kills them, it is just going to heighten their buzz.
Rigging it up so if they touch it they get zapped, now that might be cool.. :thumb:
umm, i may just sell some on ebay
Broken pieces of spark plug porcelain (ninja rocks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_rocks) can also apparently be used to break tempered glass windows (like car windows) nearly silently and effortlessly, by throwing the broken pieces at the window. I haven't been able to find a good explanation of why it works, but it looks like it has to do with the hardness and sharpness of the bits of percelain.
I've got a whole bunch of spark plugs from my 2 strokes. Just leave them some old ones next to the bike and maybe they will leave yours alone.
I would coat the plug wires with petroleum jelly or white lightning/bearing grease. Heat will not affect these. You would just have to carry a rag in your tool kit to wipe it off for needed maintenance. When they get that on them they will probably go to another bike.
Good luck.

If they are smart enough to break off sparkplugs to use as pipes, shouldn't they be smart enough not to use crack. Because I swear, I could never have thought of that in a million years. Crazy crackhead......... :dunno_white:
It comes out of neccessity being smart has nothing to do with it.
well yeah for the windows it doesnt really like brake im it crackes it in pieces...... then its really hard to touch cause the window will break verry eazely..... %^$# up but its reality people dont respect other peoples shaZam!..... and its sad but trew ..... :mad:

Hahahaha.... Ranger, you just made me spew water out my nose... that was great..
I know a guy...uh...who knows a guy that keeps these "ninja rocks" in my..er..his jacket when he rides, just in case some dickhead in a cage deserves a cracked windshield.
With practice you can judge your speed good enough that all you have to do is drop it straight down and it will bounce just right.
Kinda stupid though cause insur will usually cover it free of charge. but...still feels good...er ..I mean.. some people have no respect for property of others, *Gosh ~a la napoleon dynamite~
BTW- Us crackheads are people too. Please stop spreading rumors that crack is free and legal in Idaho, just to get us to leave your state. OH.. and thanks for letting me know about using ur plugs for pipes. thats cool free pipes.
