Girlfriend's YZF R125, 2009, CA09 FPE
Scorpion exhaust and scorpion sticker on the front fairing. Also some cracked and broken lower fairings under the bike and L plate on rear only.

Both stolen from hammersmith W6 last night, but could be anywhere.
Probably both already in pieces on Ebay by now, but please do keep an eye out in-case some kids are dumb enough to be riding them.

Don't worry, I won't hurt them.

125s won't be broken up on eBay, the little scrotes will be riding them around still. Don't be surprised if you see one riding past.

And like always, the bikes are almost certainly not very far away.

Already let the police know. They come over thismorning, but didn't sound at all confident.

They say it happens all the time and half the officers aren't allowed to chase them for safety reasons so they very rarely recover the bikes unless they're dumped.

I'm absolutely gutted. I've spent a year building up the DT into my perfect bike for a 125. Some dicks now just come and take all of that away from me.

I'll keep an eye out and I've let all my friends/colleagues know. Hopefully one of the bikes turns up. Otherwise time for a new project I guess.

Sorry to hear OP. Hopefully insurance will sort you out but I know it's not so much about the money as it is the bike itself.

According to OP in his reddit post:

"we were using Oxford chains anchored to a metal fence with no-name branded disc locks on the front wheel"

Have you tried using chains made of Dairylea? I understand they're fractionally stronger.

That will be my girlfriend on Reddit

Bikes were in a high walled, locked garden.
Both bikes covered and with individual chains and disk locks.



I had previously thought this was pretty good, but security could have been better, no doubt. Lesson learned.

If someone wants it they'll have it. Make it as difficult for them as you can, but never assume you're safe.

Sorry to hear this.

Sorrier to note that since they went to a fair bit of bother to get them that they're quite possibly local scrotes and will be keeping an eye/ear open for them being replaced.

London. Sad

I imagine the judge would accept an 11-1 majority. Nice sentiment though.
