There was a gang up this way doing it not so long ago, they did several peoples lockups in different villages. Even brazen enough to do one in daylight.

Unreal ain't it..

While out sunday I got talking to a charming lady who was I beleive associated with cotswold enduro club and warwickshire branch of TRF we were chatting and subject of bike thefts came up she said she had heard of people trailering bikes from events and practice sessions being followed and targeted in thefts so please be aware of these situations if this is something that some of you may do not a new crime I know but always be observant of anyone you feel maybe taking an intrest a bit more than you feel normal .

Excellent news - bike recovered!

Message from owner: "The power of social media, my son put a photo on Facebook and we had a message late last night from a girl who thought it looked just like one parked and now covered up opposite her house in Torquay , Son and friends rushed over and got our bike back! Just some ignition wiring and steering lock damage. Thanks for your help, Peter."

Good news then Brian if you get a name for the pond life that took it don't be afraid to name an shame them or pass it to me and I will. all you get to punish them with these days is stake them up on facebook an there names across the forum's. the law will just let them go with a naughty boy telling off up about 7-8 offences

Will let you know if the scumbag(s) get named......

Probably best to let due process take place to prevent any libel claims....

I had my 1994 Ttr250 OE stolen last Friday night in North London locked with a disc lock and thought it gone forever!

They had just levered the lock off by breaking it. I had no idea it was so easy?IMG_4355.JPG

Fortunately, I reported it to the police this afternoon at 2:30pm and got a phone call about 10pm this evening to say they had found it!

Amazing! Well done them! I am very happy to have it back in one piece and will get some much better chains and locks for it.

Cheers guys! Best of luck recovering yours.
