I have a small dilemma about reporting a dodgy bike

[mattsmith95]

Parked up in a motorcycle park in Bloomsbury London WC1 is a black honda CB250 2003 with 306 miles on the clock and NO speedo cable.

Should I report this or should I not get involved?

That's some really serious crime you spotted, call 999 and I'm sure you'll then be contacted by the Met Police Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime unit.

AH, taking the piss eh? knew it was a bad idea coming back to this forum.

Jesus, living up to your forum title a bit too much aren't you?

Unless you figure it was stolen, in which case fair play, an actual crime with a real victim, the circumstances hardly warrant assuming it was stolen tho.

Since you asked the question.

I think you ought to mind your own business a bit more and other peoples a bit less.

You are aware that it is in no way illegal to have an odometer fitted to your motorcycle reading an incorrect mileage? It's only illegal if you represent that as the correct mileage at the point of sale.

I am certain the authorities have much better things to do with their time and public money than investigate a minor technical breach of construction and use regulations. And if they don't, they ought to.

Also, nobody likes a grass.

This guy needs a custom title... Perhaps 'Traffic Copper'?

[Vracktal]

Just go to the police station and tell them you want to report an offence under Section 5 (2) of the Criminal Law Act 1967, then outline all the details in full.

They should deal with you from there.

Incidentally does any one want to buy an outrageously low mileage CB250? Sorry to hijack the thread an all. Oh and can anyone explain to me how to glue a new speedo cable on? Ta.

Is it really your business? Sad.

[Tierbirdy]

+1 for "mind your own fucking business"

This has to be a joke/troll post right? No way would anyone seriously even consider genuinely asking and/or reporting this?
