Hacked off is not the word

My bike was stolen. Parked my bike on the pavement of my mothers house at 1pm today, put the disk lock on, came out of my mums house to go to town at about 4pm and the bike wasn't there. How happy am I. Went to the cops, talked to the insurance company, gotta wait for them to get in touch with me.

Well that sucks. Stolen in broad daylight! Shocked

. Are you insured at least TPFT? Hope you get it back, but it may be unlikely Sad

Yeah I got TPFT. They said that if the bike is recovered within 2 week's they'll fix it, clean it and give it back to me good as new. If it's not found in 2 weeks then it's gonna be classed as missing and they will get me a new bike. I think I have to pay the first £350 or something if I read my insurance details properly.

It'll turn up. It will have been nicked by scrotes to razz about on and they'll dump it when they run out of petrol. Professional thieves don't nick 125s. They nick modern sports bikes and break them for spares.

I hope for your sake it doesn't turn up though. Having had this happen to me several times, it's a better outcome all round if it just disappears never to be seen again. If it does turn up again it'll be in a shit state and will never be totally 'right' again regardless of how well 'repaired' it has been.

Would people that just wanted to thrash it around a bit really take the effort of trying to get the disk lock off?

That's a pain in the backside. Like Stinkwheel says I hope that's the last you see of it if it has been ragged about.

You will feel better with a new bike after some scumbag has been messing with your old one.

Was it the Vanvan in your sig? I always thought they looked quite cool.

My Vanvan was my baby Sad

It's just a pain in the backside having to rely on lifts and public transport for like the next 3 weeks til I get a replacement. First time i've had to deal with insurance and this kinda thing with my bike. The annoying thing aswell is that it was in broad daylight aswell.

Had some chavs come and scab my DTR which I'd spent a year and a half restoring and modifying. 2 months later it was found but was in a very bad way and it certainly didn't look much like the bike I'd lovingly put right. It would appear they didn't want to dump it either because they hammered off my fuel cap.

Sure enough they were not the smartest of thieves because my bike had a servo driven powervalve which closes when the bike is started and as they had taken the majority of the electrics off, it wasn't opening at it's given RPM. The result being that they only got half the power it had. Another thing which led me to believe they were not that smart would be that when they took off my engine numbers, they didn't take the right ones off. They took off the 1N23456 Laughing

I had my crb600 stolen after 3 months then bought a ZX6R which was stolen after 5 weeks but it was found the next day with £3,0000 worth of damage it was repaired but it never meant as much as it used too if you know what I mean in fact I dont think I ever cleaned it after that and I sold about a year later and in the last year I only did 600 miles
