Buddies or not, NN had to tell him more than once to back off and and that puts this into the area of harrassment. She should never have been put in this situation by anyone.

Someone also mentioned that her BF wasn't paying enough attention to her, that too is just a pile of BS. He was trying to start his bike and as NN said, if he was involved, this incident would have escalated pretty quick.

Men that think it's ok to touch a woman like that, are in need of a serious wake up call. There is no excuse for such behavior.

Oh for the love of Pete...I need to find a forum with a higher average IQ.

I don't know if the same holds true (or if this is even relevant), but my buddy is a prison guard. And when dealing with an inmate if they touch him (without his permission ie. "take my hand.") it's immediately considered assault and he's allowed to react in whatever way he thinks is appropriate from yelling, "get the hell back." To breaking the guys nose, or macing him.

Anyways, I'm just saying that if she felt threatened a response of some sort is justified. Maybe it's just the way I was raised, but you don't just walk up and grab/make lewd comments at a woman.

And you definitely don't walk up to a biker and touch them while they're on their bike. Good way to upset balance, and cause a drop. Hell I've yelled at people just for touching my bike, let alone me while I'm on it.

The best way to deal with Zootech is to not. Found out the hard way it'll keep going until the other person stops. If you don't bite back he stops trying to get a rise outta you.
