Hmmm let me guess no chain no alarm no cover no disk lock no tracker
You got it! Stupid i know, but I thought the bike was way too old, and wasn’t valuable enough for someone to lift it… Clearly I was wrong! Lesson learnt
have a look around the local estates etc, i would think but may be wrong kids/scrotes nicked it for fun rather than in back of van.
Probably kids / scrotes as I don’t think it would have been stolen to order or for stripping for parts. Maybe to commit a crime on.
Agree with chopmotorcyclist look local most likely kids
yeah probably kids, practice nicking old shitters before moving on to better stuff…
MOTO YOU BARSTARD!!!
MOTO YOU BARSTARD!!!
Yeah thats what Im thinking as well, as I cannot really imagine pros lifting my good old B12…
There are a couple of council towers around, I’ll go cycling around this afternoon. Who knows, I might get lucky.
Get one of these and fly around the estate!
or mugged and have your bicycle nicked too
On a related subject…a couple of weeks ago I got woken up by the alarm on my Street triple going off at 5am. Got up and looked through the window and saw two scrotes on a 125 Vespa and a Honda XR125 (or similar) fiddling with the steering/instruments. They saw me and just flipped two fingers at me and gestured for me to come out. I reached for my phone and they sped off into the distance.
I was not going to bother calling the police but then it struck me that two kids riding together on empty streets at 5am would be very easy to spot and I dialed 999. They took all the info and I went to back bed. About a half an hour later, two coppers knocked on my door to ask if everything is OK and told me that they used street cameras to trace the scrotes back to an estate in Tottenham. Interestingly, one of the coppers thanked me for calling them, saying that it’d been a quiet night and that if people do not report crimes they are left driving around guessing where they might be needed rather than going where the problems are.
They also told me that they had a number of thefts or attempted thefts of Street Triples in recent weeks in Stoke Newington/Hackney and that now that they know there is one in my street they’ll swing by now and then and check up on it.
And finally, after I told them that I was in two minds about whether to call them as I thought it was just kids trying to nick something to joyride, they told me that serious crimbos now use kids to do recon on the bikes they want and then turn up in a van…
