Only for thieving cunts to steal my hard earned belongings?

Popped some rubbish in the bin this morning and thought, where's the bike gone. Can't believe it has happened as a worn and dirty, weather beaten and unfashionable 2011 XJR6 with bar muffs on?

Thumbs Down

Now in the nice position of trying to find another way of getting to work next week without breaking the bank knowing that I am well and truly going to be arse raped by the insurance company.

Thanks very much whoever you are.

This was from home, the GSXr was taken from work when at Westminster.

That I could understand a little more as a 'nice' bike and the reason I bought the drab and boring XJR to at least deter onlookers or passerby when parked up. Should have bought what I wanted and employed a fat thug to sit on it 24/7 as protection instead.

They'll steal anything if they're desperate enough for a bike to not walk home.

Does your bike have an immobiliser at all? If so if the kids after cheap kicks stole it, they will NEVER get it running. So it'll probably be a road or two away from your house.

If its a gang stealing bikes for order though, it'll be straight in a van and gone. Crying or Very sad

Also another thing, what security did you have on the bike? If it was a cheap Oxford / Halford's lock bolt crops will get through them like a knife through butter.
If you had top locks Almax and anchors etc, it'd probably be an organized gang. Sad

I put an old washing machine out back and pikeys had that straight away.
Saved me from getting the council to pick it up.
Sadly the 2 fridges that are there now haven't been taken so I'll need to sort.
Getting bad when even pikeys don't want to nick your stuff Rolling Eyes

I suspect it'll be on a scrap van rather than trying to be ridden.

Sorry to hear though. Hope you get sorted.


Waiting for the stories of back in my day you could leave your doors unlocked, it was a utopia.... Wink

I wouldn't count on that.

When my stolen MZ street moto was found being around by a local scumbag, it had pretty much had the whole ignition system rewired to bypass the 12 lead immobalizer it had fitted.

2011 XJ6 has the Yamaha immobiliser with the transponder in the key so they're probably going to have to swap the ECU to get it running. Scum!

Only from the point of view it would take about 6 blokes to lift it into a van instead of 2.

Let's face it, If some c*unt wants something it will go.

Bad news. It is shit that feeling that somehow your not allowed to own something while scumbag bike thieves get to run amok. I often feel like this while im trudging through the dozen layers of security Ive had to put in place to protect my bike.

Heres a thought for your next move. Buy an old 125 dirt bike cheap maybe even an insurance write off byt a runner that will atract local bike thieves. slap a cheap gps tracker in it and park it outside with fuck all security. Then just wait.

Meh. Then either get yourself stabbed when you go to get it back yourself or get even more pissed off when the police tell you they can have someone with you next Wednesday at the soonest.

The police have, on two seperate occasions, caught someone riding around on one of my bikes that they knew had been reported stolen. On the first occasion they took it off them and sent them on their way without even taking their names. On the second occasion, the guy was arrested but no action taken (not a warning, a caution or even a fixed penalty for riding with no licence or insurance. I'd have got a fine of several hundred pounds and six points on my licence at a minimum but apparently the way to avoid this is to ride a stolen bike).

I know what you mean but the local plod round me have been very active when i've had attempts on my bike and even secured a conviction once. I think there's a lot of variability in the quality of police round the country. If I could scrounge the spare readies I would try the baited hook of an old DT its just not a priority. I have got an old petrol strimmer though and have thought of leaving that out in my garden with a tracker on it. Just that wouldent focus on bike theives.

Did you complain to the local plods chief superintendant?

I hope you manage to track them down and administer some 'justice'

If you get it back, you should slap some of these bad boys on it.

You seem to forget, you don't only work to support you and yours you work to support the filthy, scrounging, often thieving underclass.

It's no surprise when they start cutting out the middleman, i.e. the government.
