BIKE THEFT RIDEOUT!!!!!

Motorcycling
1

i know that this should be in the rideouts section but i thought that it would receive the most coverage here…

i have just spoke to andrea on the phone and i am heartbroken…i could’nt help but have a lump in my throat as she explained how much she loved that bike,which brought me to this post…

i want to organise a rideout this month/start of next month that is open to everybody who feels that BIKE THEIFT SHOULD BE STOPPED!!!

it would consist of a slow ride through london past westminster up toward trafalger square,were we would park our bikes and walk in full leathers and helmets back to westminster,past NO 10 around westminster square and back to our bikes were we could go to a venue of choice…

details will be iron’d out but for now,i would just like to see what support i would get…

i would get in toutch with all media so as too get full coverage…

other organisation’s would also be notified and other like minded forums t’boot…

i know there’s been a few of us that have had our bikes stolen this past year(most recent andrea),and the termoil that follows it…

so please place feedback on when is the best times for most…and if you could attend…

thankyou for your time guy’s…please…lets make this happen…

I’m in and may be someone could write a piece on it so we could get a bit of wider coverage.

Nice Idea Smiled

Can’t make this or anything else for the rest of the year.

Careful, someone might think that you’re trying to get a load of bikes all parked up in the same place with their oweners walking in the opposite direction to make it easy pickings for them there theives!!! Lets face it, if everyone is in their kit, they’re not exactly going to be running anywhere fast back to their bikes!!!

Have to say, although I am not nieve, blades post reminded me about the unscrupulous people out there.

Oh… an in mi twenty’s and ride a thou

count me in too smiled sounds like a great idea any help you need organising it let me know

6

or we could always bring the m25 to a go slow protest instead of the slow ride through london

7

I’m in. Great idea smiled. If you need any help organising, let me know.

8

Pointless > the M25 is naturally a “go slow” road anyway, no one will notice the difference.

9

alright then how about the m40 or the m4 most people use them two motorways to get into london

10

Just make sure you insist that everyone is over 21

11

Nah! 21 year olds can come too - you’ll jast have to wear a special Hi VIz vest so us oldies can keep an eye on you!!!

12

Count me in.

as long as the beer is there at the end!!

13

great guy’s thanks…any dates to avoid atall?

im thinking maybe the 4th november…what do you think?

smiled.

14

Why does it have to have motorways ?

And why only the motorways from the west

What about the M3, M2, M1, M11, M23 ?

Given that this is seeminly a march on parliament, dont you need to get special permission for these sorts of things. I know it is meant to be a country of free speech and all that, but we all know it’s b0lloxs.

Or, if it’s just a general ride out that is different. I somehow dont think that government are going to make any policy changes or “free up” any police man power to prevent or minimise bike thefts. Much like the car industry has done, it is the manufactures which should during the contruction process who should be automotically fitting anti theft devices to the bikes. Ok, it’s much more difficult to lift a car, but you catch my drift?

16

Count me in mate

17

Yup, ya need to fill in a form at a police station to request special permission to protest about anything within a mile radius of Parliament methinks. We had to do the same thing for a peaceful vigil.

18

will look into that keti thanks!!!

smiled.

I can’t do 28th Oct or 4th November. Pretty flexible other than those days.

Perhaps get in touch with the Kill Spills peeps - they know the pitfalls for this sort of thing…
