Talk about F**kers!

there I was at 6am - looking forward to taking my bike out for the first time sinse the dreadful snow of last week.

I turn my little beauty on… i have the left indicator flashing like there is no tomorrow - look down… and long and behold somone has nicked my front Left hand Inidicator! What kind of a tosser does something so shallow - I mean - they left my lovely Beowulf Can, Heated grips… **** like that, and took a single indicator!!!

What a downer to an otherwise Lovely ride :hehe:

A skint one ?:wink:

Sorry to hear this mate. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you do your own maintenance) Bikes are quite easy to dismantle - I’m suprised it doesn’t happen more often and more serious and expensive equipment doesn’t get stripped (maybe it does? :ermm: ).Did it happen outside your gaff? - if so - look into your security arrangements - maybe a cover would be a good idea?

Hey sid -

Yes it was right outside my window!

I have a meta alarm, Disk Lock, Cover and bolts that go through the cover and through the alloys to tie the cover to the bike! Someone obviously did it either while i was sleeping or while i was at work!

At least it forces me to pull my finger out and get some nice clear indicators (need to find some first though) :smiley:

Sounds like there’s not much else you can do short of renting a lock up garage for it mate.

My landlord actually has access rights to a piece of land at the back of the house i live in (which is a bit like a locked corutyard… (bit over grown with weeds at present) but i’ve asked him if he can ask the other users if they mind me parking there.

We shall see! :slight_smile:

I’ve had the same happen. Same side I think. (maybe **** only bin it on the left?)

Yeah Shaunyboy - get it out of sight and out of mind if you can. :slight_smile:

Alex had one of his footpegs taken off outside work. :ermm:

People are just so sad and desperate.

its not like Bike parts are unbelieveably over priced - The amazing tightness of some people will always astound me!

aww mate some people will not stop at anything to get what they want! grr.

we will sort ya some new indicators.:slight_smile:

Sadly it was probably someone who rides exactly the same type of bike as you

I know who it is then! lol - Westie - You bugger - you nicked em! lol:D

I have this feeling it must’ve been some stupid little teens messing around because their schools haven’t opened yet coz of the snow!, can’t be a proper theif as they would’ve atleast taken something more expensive!

thats just my 2 cents…

Unbelievable

Know of someone who had bits and bobs stolen from his front brake lever while it was parked up in the street and he was at work. Got on the bike and the whole lot just fell apart.

Poor sod! thank god that didnt happen to me! all that happens on mine, is the rear left hand indicator flashes a little faster now! Already ordered replaced LED ones now! (thanks westie)

Sorry to hear this!!
Pikey Gits!!! I hate other bikers doing this…

You really want to catch them in the act so they will have to get some new parts for them self…

With all the covers etc. are you sure that it didn’t work itself loose & fall off while you were riding it ? (unlikely though it seems)
