Biker films 3 other bikers trying to nick his bike

[Undinist]

Three bikers box in another biker on the A20 in Lewisham on April 24. They demand his keys but he doesn't hand them over. They give him lots of verbal abuse and ride off. The Met has released the video but there's no sound. It's all here: https://www.itv.com/news/london/2016-07-05/head-cam-video-shows-gang-chase-down-rider-box-him-in-and-try-to-steal-keys/

The number plate on the white Yamaha is WU13 LFN and the DVLA site says it's for a white Yamaha 600.

The plate on the black Triumph is WA11 HTP and the DVLA site says it's for a white SORNed Triumph 675.

So was this an attempted bike jacking then, or just group road rage? A little surprising either way in broad daylight

[zark]

My guess is pedboi would've dumped the stolen scooter and ridden off on chummy's bike

Cnuts tho

No big deal, it's just that they didn't mention accents in the suspect descriptions either. I wonder what their assumptions are.

You get them from the internet.

i suspect a 13mm/16mm bike chain might be useful for self defence and something that is perfectly reasonable to have on a bike.
if it has one of the Squire locks on the end all the better.

Hmmm...? Some arm waving with no physical contact, no attempt to snatch the keys and an unrecorded conversation. More likely a teenage tiff than an attempted robbery, dodgy plates notwithstanding. Wasting police time, perhaps.

You're assuming that there's no audio, not that they've removed it because shouty mcsweary wont get posted on itv news site.

Eastern Europeans stealing to order, therefore muted.

[Beehive Bedlam]

Looks like the pedboi is butthurt for whatever reason probably because he's on a scooter at the start of the video but then at around 0:40 the young man on the white XJ6 does reach for the keys/killswitch.

The soft faggot who just took it like a little bitch had several opportunities to nudge either one sending them crashing to the floor. More fool him.

Bike-jacking: not a local pattern, no bags, mono-ethnic (white, similar facial features with narrow nose and high cheekbones). Not out of shape or mixed enough to be locals. Gang using stolen bikes; can't be traced by reg. number.

Equipped for theft: cheap Lidl lids and balaclavas as disguise - too much armour on scooter guy just for a scooter in town. He expected maybe bodily impact (fall or fight) and riding away on a big bike. Body language at 0:23 is southern European or southern chav, in either case signalling running out of bottle. Plan was to use scooter man to steal camera man's bike. Only works if rider is knocked off and confused, or else there's a fight. Fight physics wouldn't give fast results, as everyone is on unstable bikes wearing helmets. Plan abandoned as physical fight over a stopped vehicle risks loss, and to help their man out would risk loss of valuable takings (Triumph and/or Yamaha).

I think it was BCF'ers taking exception to a vlogger...
