How about telling us the registration?

Do you think the bike was being stolen to be broken down for parts, or for re-sale?

Yeah absolute scum - our garage is on the other side of the property (our house is on the corner of two streets) to the entrance we come and go from, and is hard up against the steet (not ideal). The other day I was walking the dog around the block and noticed a good bend in our garage door and some nice crow-bar marks in the sides, so someones had a good go at opening the door. We dont use the garage for our car because im too lazy and its inconvienent (well thats what i tell the missus - i just like keeping it just for my bike but anyways...) and i'd riveted big pad-bolts to the inside of the door at the bottom to slow down anyone trying to get in. I guess that was a good move! its interesting though, because i presume someone seen me ome home with the bike, although I usually have a good look around before pulling into the drive, but you can never tell whos watching.

Not likely but I hope they throw away the bloody key!! Fuckers why don't they work for their own shit!! I hope the quad smacked him up good!!!

I recently read somewhere:whistle: that you can get a rifle on some footpaths in the Hamilton area.....

Oh and by the way a really simple cheap security measure is drill a hole in the track just in front of a guide wheel and padlock it. I'll go off and take a couple of pics. Its really Cheap and locks the door down really good just for the price of two padlocks.

[Reckless]

ok here goes!

Two good padlocks per door, one in each track, locks things down as tight as a NUNS one!!!
Just drill the holes nice and close to the wheels.

Simple and very effective!
