Stupid Part Nicked

I think what annoys me the most is that I was sitting in a lecture 20 metres or so away from my bike.

It seems like such a stupid thing to steal but I can see they were trying to get at my mobile mount for some reason (I am saying that as it was moved fairly far to the left but not removed).

It was at Portsmouth University

Does anyone know where I can get another one of these brace clip things from? I don't want to buy the whole handle bar set again.

[fatpies]

Nope I don't know where to get replacements.

But in the future hammer in some ball bearings into the ends of the allen bolts to prevent this thing from happening.

LOL... wtf!?

Seriously, thats like stealing a mirror or a grip

Where did you get the bars from? Possibly ebay being the best bet. Also get yourself a £28 alarm. Will go mental when they touch the bike.

[Pol Anorl]

look into buying a cheap brace from ebay and use the ends?

I always wondered why they leave the car on bricks. They don't give a shit about the owner so why dont't they loosen all the wheels off, then go round levering the car off the ground with 2 bits of wood removing them one by one then the last wheel, just leave the wood wedged under rather than leaving bricks?

Bentleys were being targetted at one point in London, 1st and second pic are the same car on two different occasions:

As for nicking a plastic brace bar, not convinced that the risk vs reward is worth it personally.

Suspect it's going to be a load easier with the bricks - easier to get the jack off if there's some sort of stand to hold the car up.
Also someone on PH (where the pic is from) suggested it may also help with a 'tilt sensor' - though looks a tad 'tilted' in that picture.

And yes, plenty of people want something for minimum hassle at the expense of others.
To be fair, it's pretty prevalent in society as a whole, just this sort of thing is the most extreme and personal form.

Are you sure it was stolen? My Brace bar was forever coming loose.

What winds me up the most is I came out and the police were doing their routine patrol through the campus - buggers must have done it ~ 30 mins after I got off the bike.

Not that I wish it upon anyone else but ffs there was a 2011 GSXR parked behind me, I drive a 1998 hornet - why is it so special?

I phoned security just to let them know and I got an "Oh I see......", seems like this is a pretty slick business to get into.

I had a bar end stolen once. What's that all about?

Get an alarmed disc lock, that will put them off. Anybody tampering or causing vibration on the bike sets them off. Mine does a warning bleep first of all then if you knock it again it sends out an ear splitting siren

[ruck bodgers]

probably some dumb shit thieves who thought it was a steering lock.
just make a new bracket . students dam i hate students . not all students just the twaty ones who say YAH and yar . i dont know how they get into university because there generally thick as fuck. i had to meet a lot of them the previous few years as my girlfriend got into a high ranking university . for her sake alone i did not let loose on any of them while she was present . but ffs what a bunch of twats. i dont know how those people are going to survive in the world i really dont. one of my biggest regrets in life is not having kicked the shit out of them while i was visiting the last time. id like to go into detail to describe whats so offensive about these people ,there mannerisms,there political views,there mob mentality and general soft touch faggotism . but lifes to short to bitch any more than i have already .
here something else

....have u ever written a cheque for a loaf of bread

[TheSmiler]

Pretty understandable why they nick tires to be honest, especially with the amount they go for and you can also do say 30 cars a day if you are lucky. Sell to chop shops and you have a mighty big paycheck.


Regarding the part for your bike I'd say really unlucky is there anywhere else to park at university near say a camera..

Bentley wheels and the like are the same stud patter as VW's and are big on the euro scene, probably targets the same car as they could maybe only get one side due to the curb
