Just had a text from Donald Deasy. The XT600E he had off me...

...well, someone else has had it off him. Nicked from his brother's
gaff. They cut through two chains to take it, too.

FFS.

This was in London, Thamesmead to be precise. A molotovs throw from the
high security prison.

Looks like they made light work of the chain anchoring it. No sign of
the chain I had on the front.

Oops - proper sh.t round there, even by 'sh.t bits of London' standards.

A few Molotovs would be the kindest thing for that whole stretch from
Plumstead through to Gravesend... and even then it's debatable whether you
should stop there or plough on to Medway and the Isle of Sheppey.

Thamesmead is a f.cking shithole. There's no way I'd park a bike up in
open view round there. Have you checked the marshes the other side of
Erith?

It was in my brothers covered garage area attached to the back of the
house. You would have to come into a cul de sac to see it.

We'd both been drinking this evening so no search party allowed, might
get stabbed he said.

Brother reckons it'll already be in the marshes if it was local scrotes.

My commiserations to the owner - however makes me
feel better already. I was sorely tempted by the
machine and saw the TOG msg quite early but I
decided that if parked outside where
I live, its life expectancy might be rather short.

Sarff Lunnon.

CB500 it is then? I know it makes sense.

I did warn him that dirt bikes are a scrote magnet, but with two bloodyt
chains on it. I supposed they chopped one and just dragged the bike with
the second in place.

Why am *I* pissed off, I wonder? Same reason as I was when the Z400 I
sold to Petrolcan went walkies: I put a fair bit of cash and effort into
both bikes. Bah.

Actually, that's rather true. I think the giveaway sign is if you
stand in the road to watch the new owner depart on it, thinking:
"Bloody good bike, that... Perhaps I shouldn't be selling it."

There's that, plus the fact I have had such an affection for many of my
bikes ... the mere fact they survived life in my hands is a badge of
honour they can wear with pride.

Selling the 9R was heart-wrenching I have to say; I had *so* many good
times on that bike.  My 98 R1 was just a hoot.  And although I didn't
own it for that long, I had a superb TT on the gixer, and really bonded
with it over the mountain, where it embarrassed a lot of supposedly
faster bikes, so I'll always have a soft spot for that bike too.

The current R1 is the one that scares me the most - it's *so* good, in
almost every respect, that I adore it, and I've had some killer times on
it, and frankly it's liable to leave my custody at the hands of thieves,
which I think will cause me no small amount of sorrow.

When I bought my 7R the previous owner was standing at his front door
watching me ride away with tears running down his cheeks.

I realise that your taste in colour runs to the other side of the

I am obviously not setting myself up as a gold standard on the topic of
sartorial elegance, but I can assure you, sir, that I would never, under
any circumstances, give house room to leathers constructed from anything
purple.  I utterly detest the colour.

Because it was worth more in bits, at the time I wasn't even sure if I'd
ever even want to ride a bike again, and because I'm naturally more

A mate at work reckons there is a good deal on at Aldi at the moment for
a CCTV with either built in intercom or alarm. Quite configurable he
reckons. Beeps, or switches your TV to the camera display.

Which they seem to rely on rather than some nice old fashioned 'onest
policing.

A chap I work with has CCTV at his gaff, and the cheeky f.ckers asked if
he could swing it around a bit to capture a certain part of the street
know to be a youth hangout.

Next they'll be asking to lock-up crims in our spare bedrooms.

    Why does every Yamaha trail-bike you sell get stolen?  Hmmm?

Curses, rumbled.

Being serious, though, it's just dirt bikes, innit? The scrotes will
walk past an R1, 10R, Beemer, MV, whatever, but grab any dirt bike they
can because (a) they're usually small and light enough to be dragged
away and (b) they can be bashed around off-road with no risk of being
nicked.

I mean it's not like they're being stolen and ringed: there's not much
point in having a sophisticated ringing operation and using it for an
£800 17 year-old bike.
