Saw this today

[dextersaurus]

Why?

It's right next to a load of cars, and it's hardly causing an obstruction, is it?

From the look of the left brake lever it looks like it's been knocked over, and someones probably nicked the tax disk and attempted to nick the plate

And by the looks of it you didn't even get off of your bike to take the picture

that's funny though. I didn't think bikes could be clamped like this? It doesn't look like the bike is actually secured to it... as in it still looks like two people strong enough could still just pick up the ped and walk away with it?

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

You like my new disc lock? No frakker's stealing MY scoot again!

[Kai.Wilson]

I think the bottle of beer is a nice touch lol.

Maybe it was nicked and its been clamped to stop it being nicked again before it gets recovered. That clamp doesn't look too secure though.

Looks like some paper under the seat. If you didn't get off your bike I guess you've no idea what that'd be about then.

If a commercial clamp I'd expect it to have the owner/company info on it. How else can they prove it's theirs when it's removed?

Fools.

The scoot is not clamped, clamping is illegal in Scotland.

Obviously it is the owners own security, hence the ground bolt

I wonder what that bit of paper on the seat is for then. Maybe its a kind reminder to leave the bottle of Stella there.

Since i'm not doing anything today i'll have a gander up and see what the bit of paper says

It's in scotland, clamping and demanding a release fee is ilegal.

Therefore it either:
1) Belongs to the owner.
2) Belongs to the DVLA and the vehicle is untaxed.
3) Has been put on by the landowner and will have to be removed on request at no charge.
4) Is a practical joke being played on a young lad working at the building site.

I strongly suspect the latter.

My guess is; It is clamped because of its dodgy number plate.

Actually I'd clamp it for dodgy race decals and having only overtaking mirror.
If you go there again. don't forget to read the message in the bottle

I also have just my right mirror. Legally you don't need mirrors at all, but that becomes a pain in the neck very quickly.

I reckon its a nympho woman rider because of the big red dildo stuck to the seat

i got clamped and had to pay £130 to get it off!
its a bit fackin steep if you ask me, a £30 fine would have put me off enough to not park there again!

[Noxious89123]

If I got clamped, I'd hire a stihlsaw and get someone else wearing a balaclava to cut it off for me in front of witnesses.
