Wow, OK, harsher than I thought. A whole 10 1/2, so out in 5 1/4.
I mean, unless we have another clearout to make room for more.
At this point, judges might as well declare "50 years without the possibility of parole!" then when they're led from the dock, the G4S geezer winks and say "Out the back door, see you next week." ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I'd say they're actually growing up faster, but not learning to take responsibility, until 5-7 years later. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |

It's very much a lack of ability to accept responsibility for themselves. But then the Gubmint goes to say this, giving people more of an excuse to not take responsibility... It is becoming harder for me to accept the general population. Bring back the work houses! ____________________ I'm Sam; Northern, Ginger, Lover

Just in case you were mental enough to use a disc lock as your sole protection... even for just 5 mins while you nip in somewhere.... Don't.

Also not much advantage using a stainless body

'The Met Police told us there were 24,329 crimes committed using a moped in the year to February 2018. This compares to 10,170 in the previous 12 months, but they say new tactics are starting to make a difference.'
Hang on...
'Met Commissioner Cressida Dick said [in Oct' 2017] she had been shocked by the "extraordinary rise" in moped crime but said offences fell by 24% between June and September.'
Can someone get Diane Abbott on the phone? I call BS moped crimes would fall during the summer with that annual increase. |

You could slash "moped" crime overnight by the simple expedient of telling coppers to record it correctly as "scooters", then only collating crimes containing "moped". ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

And then slash scooter crime by defining maxi-scooters. The explanation in the article was slightly odd:
This type of offence is often referred to as moped crime but often they in fact involve high powered scooters
...very true.
A moped has an engine capacity of not more than 50 cc. It won't go any faster than 30mph
...or technically 28 mph but yeah.
A scooter also has a step-through frame but has an engine size of between 50cc and 150cc.
...why 150cc? |

A white XJ6 09 plate turned up in the parking spot right next to my bike this morning. Seemed quite odd as we know the neighbour and she has no vehicle. It had a lot of extras, renthal bars, aftermarket spring, levers etc but no locks and no cover and it was pissing with rain. We live on a long quiet culdesac and recognise most of the local vehicles, but have never seen this bike. 🤔
Left and spent the day out, when I got back the bike was still there and I had another look at it. The ignition looked like it had been tampered with, so I checked the plate and confirmed it was stolen, called the police who didn’t seem to give much of a fuck. They said someone would be around at some point to collect it and then called back later and said the owner was coming to collect it. Went downstairs and locked it up to my ground anchor until the guy arrived.
I wasn’t sure if he’d be glad or pissed that it had been found. When he arrived we confirmed the name the police gave us by his ID and he had the keys, so we unlocked it from the ground anchor and he managed to get it started. Shame he was so happy to get it back, he even brought us an Easter egg 🐣 as a thank you. Apparently it was taken a couple miles away in Tooting, he said he usually takes it inside but had left it out unlocked. So gagging for it according to the plod.
Where I park is fairly well hidden off street private parking not from Wimbledon which I guess is why those chose to stash it there. Seems a bit mental as the neighbour said he saw them dropping it off this morning and they seemed fairly nonchalant about it, as they usually do I guess.
I’ve got a camera pointed at the bike but it stupidly wasn’t recording 😔 going to be moving it tomorrow for a better view and get it recording again. ____________________ Observation is the greatest source of wisdom. |

Ah, right.
I mean, why bother wiring the cam up? It's not like MedPlod will bother even looking at grainy footage of three skinny chavs in dark nondescript hoodies. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
