Bike Stolen: UPDATE: Bike Found

[TheDonUK]

Scum had away with my '97 Bandit 600N in the middle of the night from right under my nose...

Cant be arsed to do a longpost, if anyone in and around the Uxbridge/Hayes Area hears anything ile keep a track of this thread,

If i have to claim i can say by to my two years no claims i have been building up... The prospect of public transport and generally being bikeless is horrible... lock up your bikes tonight and when you ride them be thankful you can...

[-Savage-]

Fuck man, sorry to hear. hopefully it will be found with minimal damage. .

If you've got transport it might be worth having a look around the local scuzzy industrial estates... I hope you get it back.

My thinking steve, be in parts now prolly.

Toby i had minimal security and i regret that now...

Funny thing was i lived all my life in some rough parts of london Harlesden/stonebridge and no one ever touched my bikes, i move out to the suburbs (Hayes etc) and bang..

[TheDonUK]

Update: Just got a call today from police, they found my bandit ...

I had lost all hope of ever seeing it again...

It seems some little chavs have tried to hotwire it, fucked the igniton barrel and pulled out seemingly random wires from the front loom (behind headlight) and just failed and given up.... little bastards...

So the bikes got all my security on it, a cover etc now and just gotta try and source some parts to get it fixed and back on the road...


The relief that i wont have to waste my 2 years no claims and just having a bike again is lovely...

Well done Hayes Police...

[McGee]

Great to hear man.

Wish you could find the scum and have some fun

[thefallenange...]

go with the flash camera shocking thing that was posted on here a few months ago. Or even better just run a live cable out of your consumer unit and attach to somewhere on the bike. Get your Chav Chops.

Whenever i get a sportsbike i think i have established that an alarm as a good idea, i dont know why in my head im adverse to putting an alarm on a bandit... Anyway ... my landlord says its fine to install a ground anchor,

How easy are these to do... I mean i can rent a drill from HSS or something but i wouldent want it to be one of my bodges...

Anyone installed a ground anchor before?

[-Savage-]

I'm thinking about a ground anchor in my garage, just to be extra safe. Although as its my parents house, I'm just going to smash a hole in the floor, and cement a length of bent metal pole in it lol. Classy student bodge .

It seems I'll have to take my comment back The stupid F@cking numpty cunts, but I hope they take a similar bike again, and wrap it round a tree and do the world a favour.

I made a ground anchor.

Get a piece of 2" square box section steel about 8-10" long, real heavy stuff (metal fabricators would have this in their scrap bin). Drill two, 12mm holes all the way through it on each face so they line-up across the 'box'. Easiest way is to get someone with a drill press to do it, just drill all the way down through it.

Now englarge the holes on two adjacent faces so they are 3/8".

Now buy four, M12 rawl bolts and a masonry drill big enough to make a hole for them to fit in.

Place your ground anchor in an angle between a wall and the ground, mark the hole positions and drill four holes for your rawl bolts (two in the ground, two in the wall). Now bolt it to the wall and ground using the rawlbolts through your 12mm holes. The larger holes are there so you can get a 3/8" drive socket with a short extension bar on the bolts to tighten them down hard.

Your ground anchor is now in place. It ain't going to move, whatever direction you pull, you've got two M12 bolts acting in the shear plane.

Run a big f-off chain through it and attach it to your bike. The presence of the chain makes it impossable to get a socket on the bolts to undo them. You shouldn't be able to get a spanner on the bolt heads to turn them through the ends because there isn't enough room to swing it.

Another way is to use socket head rawlbolts, tighten them with an allen key then burr out the socket heads with a small drill so they are round. This obviously doesn't need such a big hole in the 'outside' sides.

I designed that myself. Cheap as chips.

Well, before the Government decided to crack down on gun deaths by doing the stupid vote winning move of taking all the legally owned and heavily secured and monitored firearms out of the hands of gun club members (and apart from hungerford and dunblane where the police failed to follow correct procedures and left them in the hands of people clearly not suitable to own them) there had been NO deaths caused by them...

Sorry, rant over...

Anyway, My dad built all his own safes using thick sheet steel, all welded together and then secured through the foundations of the house.

I've fitted a ground anchor in my garage, but the floor was almost impossible to drill into as it's that toughened poured concrete and brick particulant mix that destroys drills. My Black&Decker wouldn't even scratch the surface so I hired a HSS special and set about drilling 16mmx90mm holes.

Took me two weekends to get one hole into the floor. Had to keep stopping as the vibrations caused me some pain in the arms. Ended up using a spare drill bit and a lump hammer to smash the bottom of the holes and then used the drill to scoop out the waste and smooth it all off. Kept also running the drill for a while until red hot and chucked water in to cool down and loosen up the concrete.

Bloody hard job, but once now it's in, it's not shifting.

Thinking about fitting another for the front wheel so will probably take a pick-axe to the floor, smash a big hole and concrete one in that way instead.

If you attach it to a wall / the floor using hex-socket head bolts (like what you use allen keys to undo), you can then hammer ballbearings into the head of the bolt, making them IMPOSSIBLE to unscrew....

surely when people go to steal your bike they'd go for the weaker chain?
