Bike-jacking

[karen_moomin]

As naive as I might be, I've never even thought about this happening and it's quite scary to think that it might.

Hopefully it won't, but at least now I can mentally prepare to head-butt/kick/whatever! I'm not a violent person in the slightest, but if anyone tried to nick my bike I think I'd see red and go mental!

just get off the bike and annialate the little fuckers. im from newcastle and its usually ok but if any fuckin chavs come near, the are going to get it big style. stand up to the cunts!!!!!!!!!! or you could always wave a bar of soap at em! they would be off like a shot!

[rapid teen]

best way to get them is under the nose upwards with the base of your palm, in effect it rips there fukkin nose off and tends to put them and there mates of doing anything

it worked for me last year. i was 15 down a dark ally way when two chavs walked up to me. must have been 16-17 and wanted my phone. i just hit the first one in the way above nose was hanging on but not by much

brabbed = grabbed?

Somthing similar happened by me. It was rediculous, in town there are some lights on a steap hill so this women (my mum friend) stoped at the red light pulled up the hand brake and stayed on biteing point. Then a group of chavs ran into her car and went to grab her purse as they opened the door. This women was a nurse so pulled out her trusty sissors and stabbd one of them in the cheek with it and he ran off with the purse.

She reported it to the police and she got charged im not sure what with and he got away scot free. I know its no a bike story but similar situation but how stupid is that? its just ridiculous

Cheers,
Gareth

Put a tail pack on your bike, or a tank bag. and leave your bike chain in there, with an opening just big enough for your gloved hand to slide in quickly. And if anyone fucks with you, pull your chain out and give it a good swing at the little scummy bastards, making sure you have the lock end in your hand for grip. That will shock the little bastards.

Regarding gloves, my mates in the bike shop sell some similar to these https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/super_jo/steel_gloves.jpg

Tempted to get some

is this type of thing just limited to 'L' plates? My better half has a DNA 125 with the L plates and sometimes i pick her up from work and we ride home together. Last yr she was in front and i got stopped at the traffic lights. A minute or so later i caught up with her being harrased by 2 scrotes on an obviously stolen dirt bike (both with no helmet on) and they were riding very close and trying to intimidate her. I found 11,000rpm (with a blue flame can) soon scared them off, but we then got the mouthing and to be honest we were a little nervous for a few days cos even though they were only kids they said the bikes would be torched and we live in a terraced house so her bike is only under a cover! it only takes a 14yr old kid to torch a £2000 bike! fingers crossed we havent seen em since.

too much of this happens everywhere in the country its not just bikes its cars as well

i have been in a few incidents when i knew people were chasing me but i dont go to places i dont know so i can tell straight away there not from the area as i seem to outwit them pretty easily

just wish it wasent like this really no matter what you ride you have to keep a lookout.

me and my mates nearly got jumped in mc ds once. not funny at all.

i just throttled my bike and if they were going to get in the way then they would get run over

I lived in Middlesbrough when I was a student and it was epidemic up there. Anyone on a scooter or with L's would commonly have someone jump on the back of the bike and scream at the rider to get off if they wanted to live etc.

I think people worry too much about how much force they can use when defending themselves. As a door supervisor I work by the rule that the force will reflect the severity of the threat and the police seem to use enough common sense to agree with us.

If someone came face to face with me when I was on my bike and demanded the bike or I felt there was risk of them trying to take the bike, at the point they invaded my personal space I would take defensive action. For example if you go to push someone away, but (*accidentally) your finger went right into their eyeball then you have only tried to reasonably defend yourself but have caused more damage than intended. Nothing wrong with that.

Don't surrender your bikes to vermin. If you can gouge an eye, bite a face, run them over then do it, do whatever you have to do while the adrenalin is pumping. Death and suffering to the chavs and bike thieves

ive been followed a few times, i find it rather amusing that tranny vans think they can keep up with a 600.

Usualy potter around for a while, make sure there after me, get to a nice road and give it beans.


ill never go home whilst being followed, ive never had any trouble thank god, but i guess im just paranoid.


Steve.

I've not had the misfortune of this yet. I've fealt worried once at a set of lights in a town centre at night. I could see three lads wondering around behind me and the lights we're on Red.

They looked pretty suspicious and one was crouching. I cracked the revs round to 15k which made them jump out of their socks!!

Lights went green and i fooked off, not had anything apart from that. If someone was unarmed i wouldnt take it, i'd give them a good go.

Being the victim of knife crime (didnt get stabbed but had a knife at my stomach) its just not worth it - no matter how pricey the bike - it can be replaced, you cant - your family and friends will agree.

My issue from going on L's (on a 125) to a 600 was the fact that, on a 125 everyone flew past me and generally thought i was slow - did ride on national speed roads.

On the 600 (especially the RR) the amount of dicks that just want to race gets quite annoying.
