I went to visit Nowhere Elysium recently, and as I was coming into an unfamiliar part of Brum, there were some scrotes on peds coming into my space at lights a few times. I was lucky in that they either were not the jacking types, or I fucked off sharpish enough, probably this as the blade goes quicker than peds.
Regardless on long trips someone who isn't me has a large knife under the tank cover easily accessible, and has recently purchased some MX body armour to wear under leathers to hopefully negate any stabby/kicky action. I hear he also sleeps with knuckles and a bat because of the proximity of the ethnic crime area which results in a lot of theft, violence and burglary of late. (Two households of all girl students have been subject to violent burglary in the last two weeks)
I know of two people who have been jacked in my local area, one of whom had a knife stuck in his thigh and kicked off the bike for it to be stolen. While I'm a rather handy fighty type, I have no illusions that it would go pretty wrong if I tried to fight off a group, but it's possible I could leave identifiable wounds in a jacker. Although with the state of Nottingham's teenage knife crime it wouldn't identify one local shitbag from another. ____________________ Previous: GSF600, FZR600 x2, ZXR750, XT600 Tenere, CB125, CZ125, ETZ 250, ER5, CCM R30, DRZ400, RF600x4, RF900x2, GS500, VTR1000F, 640 SMC, CB250 NIGHTHAWK, GT550x3, GPX750 TE610, CB500, X11x2, SV650, ZING 125, TL1000R,CB250 Superdream, CBR1100XX |

Well, good news, they robbed another sportsballer.
So now the Blue Thunder of the Met will actually rouse itself into action, and they'll get two-digit year sentences instead of one-digit days. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

My money is on him being jacked at the BP near Johns of Romford.
Fun fact - I worked for John (of Romford) when I was 16/17 as a Saturday boy at Castle Sports Motorcycles at Dagenham

I bought my first road legal bike from Castle Sports, a 1982, kickstart only, CG125 with fully enclosed chain guard. Still got the HP paying in book pinned on my garage wall, I paid £51.13 a month apparently.[/quote]
That sounds like a lot? Was HP less generous then or was it a shorter term? A CB125f costs £69 p/m over 3 years.[/quote]
Remember when i bought a new RG125 on finance in the 80's,interest rate was close to 30%,not like now where its for nothing. ____________________ Current Bike - 2000 ZX-7R |
