watch out.

Post by rastas »

hi.
2 nights ago my neighbour had his bike stripped of all removable items. the bike was parked in a residential parking area of estover.
just a warning to those like me that dont have a garage to keep it in.
Cheers

People need to watch out more and more nowadays! The South West is slowly turning for the worst with crime! :( ! Especially with Jaces bike getting trashed a few days after he bought it!
Can you read my number plate Officer? Or is there too much tyre smoke in the way!

well i leave mine on the drive, although i live in a nice area (not posh guys, let me get that one straight) i still worry about it...the fact that im a very heavy sleeper kind of sinks the idea that the alarm is of any use to me but i was just going to get a ground anchor like, until i build the garage/extension.
Or are they just as easy to remove and take with the bike?
