Just seen this video on facebook, thought I'd share.

https://video-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xpf1/v/t43.1792-2/12444217_1657356441218791_1495364240_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjE1MDAsInJsYSI6MTA5OCwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&oh=05ebba9c5e6a4f6876065c53eece2126&oe=568FA4C0



Crazy to think that it only took 2 mins to get away with 4 bikes. Shocked


*Just did a Google search. They seem to be a KTM dealership in Essex.

Seems to have been a popular pursuit this holiday season. Sad

Which store is that? It doesn't really look like Falkirk or Bathgate and it doesn't seem to be on their Facebook page.

Sorry, my mistake.

It is another company!!!!!

I will edit first post accordingly...

It was posted on a Scottish page and I misread it.

It is a company called Jim Aims.

So rough and clumsy with them - hardly look used to handling bikes.

Phew, then I can say "Let's see how Jim Allan feels about being robbed for a change," without being an utter cad. Whistle

I had a lot of really good dealings with Jim Aim Motorcycles when my son and me were riding MX and enduro. A truly customer focused business that never let me down in many years of riding KTM's. Sorry to hear they've been screwed. Crying or Very sad

That explains why the place was being surveyed by an alarm company when I was there on Tuesday.
I suppose that securing the stable door after the horse has bolted may be better than never getting round to securing it at all.

Jesus, they didn't hang about, clearly some planning behind that.

Some geeza called Brendan commented on the external video with this little beauty; 'Insurence job we saw the police at 2pm in brook meadow with dogs and the cameras say its 5 pm'

Where do these creatures fucking spawn? Neutral

In a sea of polygenetic sperm inside a fecund womb inside a fat slag inside a plush council house paid for by your and my taxes.

The worst thing about this has been the comments left on Facebook videos etc, blaming the shop for not securing the bikes.

However, more alarming is the amount of youngsters commenting on the video when shared by certain pages, who have photos of themselves riding stolen motorcycles.

Was gonna sell my Almax, but I think I'll hold on to it.

That was the KTM dealership I went to when I was first looking for a bike. They were excellent & seemed to be more concerned about getting the right bike for me than anything else, even if that meant losing a sale.

Sad to see this as if I was to buy a KTM they'd be the guys I'd go to.
