this happened in upper Wisconsin Saint Germain area. Im also a FIB , im 53 and i would say they were mid 20's. it all started with when we pulled up and my girl was getting off the sled 1 foot on the ground and
the guy just missed hitting her. as i walked by i did say that was a **** move you almost hit her. Me an my girl continued to walk into the pub and had dinner , My girl noticed the 1 guy that almost hit her walked over to the helmet rack and did something but didnt know what , as she put her helmet on we seen he kicked the shield in an broke the mounting tab on the left side but it still closed. didnt think much about it an could not prove it . so as my sled is warming up the first guy that almost hit her and his two friends start with the dont move the sleds stuff and attempt to get me to engage them , They kept with you called my friend a name and i stated multiple times i said it was his actions and did not call him a name.. then i turned off the sled told my girl lets go back in the pub it was -28 out, they then stated no one is going back in . so again they are pressing me into a fight. then the 1 friend points at the plow banks about 12 foot high and goes thats you way out. . i said this is a gade 1200 its never going over that. well i made it up and down and took the sled down like a sub and was buried over the bars in snow. they all laughed an new i was really screwed, so i attempted to dig it out , all the time watching i dont get jumped. then finally the first guy that almost hit her said now look you need my help . i said yes i do and we would not be here doing this is you just let me leave. the good thing he did help pull on the ski loop while i walked it out on the running board. they then all walked away. my girl walked around and got back on the seat and i look for my gloves well you guessed it . they took them. so i tried to ride a few blocks and my hands are in poor shape i put them under the exhaust to get them back to temp and tried to ride again with with no luck . the pain was too much. then i remembered in my trunk i had a back up pair of thin gloves and that got me back the 45 min ride back to the room. . i must say ive been riding for 20 years and never had this ever happen and has really made me think, should you ride with a concealed carry for a case like this but no matter what that could of made matters worse. I know i will see them all again since they ride in the same area and i can tell this is not done on either side .
