My mate just had his bike nicked (about an hour ago) from Isleworth. It was disk locked but I guess it wasn’t professional thieves so may be spotted riding about. There’s not many like this so any info post straight away (or knock them off and give them a good kicking!) and we might get a win…

It now has a black nose cone after a crash, which makes it easier to identify at least:
I know this bike!!!
It’s usually parked just a few doors away from me!!
Didn’t see any robbing going on but I’ll keep an eye out for it…
Bloody nice bike!
Keep yours Almax’d/Garaged then as the thieves are about!
It is nice, but I’m thinking professional thieves wouldn’t bother, as it’s a 2003 and not worth a great deal compared to many other bikes. Sounds to me like local toerags, so it may well be riding about the area
not to sound like a w*nker but it’s probably being stripped and sprayed as we speak… Could be worth ringing round to see if any shops have those wheels in, or if the black nosecone appears on ebay…
Never did get it back but I did get a payout from
my Insurer (minus the £800 excess!!!)
Huge thanks to Alex for helping me out whilst all of this was going on
helping me try and find it and lending me his scooter so I could get about (which I somehow managed to break sorry ) I really would have been stuck without his help!!
So I guess the lesson is If you are forced to keep
your bike outside chain it to something immoveable through the frame, have an alarm and if your spot that you usualy use to chain it up
is taken… Just ride it in to your house
