Stolen : Honda Fireblade 2008

[Twisted2004]

Was nicked today from a car park near Lewisham high street.

Almax series 3 chain round the rear wheel and lampost.

Motrax Vishas disc lock on front disc.

Bike and chain all gone!

Just goes to show if some scummer wants your bike they'll take it!

....suppose I'll have to use the 125!

They stole the bike and the chain? They must have had a van nearby to bundle it in cause they wouldn't have been able to wheel it far, especially with a disclock too.

Don't suppose the carpark had cctv or anything that might show up what happened?

[Supermoto_Fan]

These are professionals if they managed to get it with an almax and get it out of there! probably going to be broken up for parts, just goes to show even the most expensive security is only a deterrent and not a safeguard

This country is full of filth. If they ever catch these people, they should stand them before a firing squad.

Doesn't help but it was most probably something like this, so fast most don't recognise. Quick snap of the chain and off they go.

You don't quickly snap an Almax chain if it's properly anchored.

Were you using the Squire padlock? If so they likely would have needed powertools to get through that, definitely worth inquiring around as someone surely must have seen/heard something.

Not good

I'd of thought they would have just taken the rear wheel out (one spindle) rather than attempt to go through the chain.

I am very interested to know how they got through the Almax chain?

Worrying as lewisham is only round the corner from me and the fact they got through an Almax is worring as it makes me wonder how long it took for them to get through it.

As said before it would have seemed easier to just take the back wheel off but the fact they took the whole bike and the chain is worrying.

Was it a proper lampost or a post for a sign?

I've seen scooters lifted up 4' so chains can be unlooped before..

16 mm plus chains have sold in droves, tally that with peeps ignoring theft, and false white van number plates, then game has been upped, and sub min with a grinder is now the norm.

Also, said battery powered grinders now more powerfull and cheaper.

Take the chain to prevent prints and or practice on to get cut time down, and even sell on ebay for 60 quid easily.

I was another one expecting you to have come back to a back wheel chained to the lamp post. Whole bike and chain gone! As others have said surely it would have been simpler to take the back wheel off. Van with some proper cutting gear inside parked in front of bike with the chain cut and bike loaded via sliding side door or something?

Robbing swines hope you get the bike back in good nick / the scumbags get caught and sent down!

[Cuchulain]

Is there any point in all this security then? It seems like the only person you end up inconveniencing is yourself.

Almax Series 3 are only 16 MM thick so easier to crop than 19MM which is the series 4.

Almax state that their series 3 16mm cannot be cropped.

Guess Angle griders make quick work of anything

Sorry to hear about the bike...

I'd say it was the bystander effect at work here.... nobody said/done anything because they expected someone else would. So it didn't matter how long they were hacking and smashing away at the chain/locks, the next person might say something

Proof that you need to spend money on security to stop it getting nicked in the first place, but also security to help you get it back if it does get taken.

GPS trackers are pretty cheap now, and home-improvised ones even cheaper. My old CB500 is a great bike to me but I doubt thieves would be too keen to nick it, but if I had a more expensive bike I'd definitely fit one.
