Total NON Policing more like.
That's quite a shocking number. I reckon that's every motorcyclist in London having their bike nicked twice a year.
Certain areas dindu so well as others I see and am completely unsurprised by which have the worst numbers. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I think you would surprise them if you pull over and run off leaving them to push your bike away using their ped. |

Its a bit fucking grim living in London. Thankfully living & working in one of the "safer" boroughs, still a shithole though. I get a bit twitchy seeing other bikes getting too close filtering at red lights etc. Especially now that it seems EVERYONE has taken to wearing balaclavas under their helmets, I mean wtf is that about its (technically) summer now isnt it? Why do you need a balaclava, always seems to be gentlemen of the more... ethnic urban persuasion all bally'd up too
I take comfort in the fact my obviously crashed 15yr old Fazer probably isnt worth the time or effort of nicking. But it is putting me off getting a nicer newer bike which is a sad state of affairs. |

Im not sure at the moment, thats another big problem in getting a replacement bike, I dont particularly want to have to splash out for a post-2008 Sadiq Khan Approved bike. They seem to keep changing their mind as to just exactly where the ULEZ is going to cover. If it stays with the current plan of "everything inside the North/South circular I should be ok as it wont cover me/my work place.
However if they extend it to "everything inside the M25" which theres been rumblings of, then I'm going to be viciously sodomised, repeatedly. I'll either have to splash out on a new bike which will absolutely definitely get stolen, or spend just as much on Sadiq's slush fund or whatever anti-kitten killing plan thats all bikers faults theyve come up with. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 24 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
