Looks like they are resorting to acid attacks now.

Honestly I'm not sure what is happening to London right now but I am seriously considering moving out.

I am now wearing a stab-proof vest underneath my leathers everytime I ride after dark. I have been chased by moped gangs twice and the police say they can't do much about it.

On the other hand, they seemed to be very efficient in catching me when I veered slightly off into the bus lane last week earning me a £130 fine.

Shocked What part of London do you live, I'm guessing South?

I live in Central. But I have to ride through those areas frequently.

This is why I've stopped riding into central and will avoid riding there at all costs unless with a sizeable group.

As I've probably said many times already, I can't wait to get out of this cuck city with their thinly stretched policing. Seriously considering leaving this country all together in the future anyway when I have the money to make it happen.

Why are they only targeting shitty slow mopeds. Why not proper bikes or decent cars?!?

When they say "mopeds" they're often talking about 300-400cc midi scooters.

They're not stealing them for pleasure riding, they're using them for doing other crimes: ride-by muggings, storage space for gear and "gear", and for pushing real bikes along with a foot on the peg.

because any half wit can jump on a twist and go and ride off.
