    Who touched my bike

    Rode to work in the rain yesterday, got here warm and dry thanks to my gear. Parked in the bike park on Mercer St in Welington. When I went back out there after work my bike had been moved. I'm not sure if someone moved it or if it was knocked over and picked up again.

    If anyone saw anything or knows anything can you please PM me.

    Cheers

    That sucks!! You do not touch someone elses bike!! If it was knocked over, I suppose someone was nice enough to pick it back up and not just say "oops" and leave it lying there, but still..... Was there any damage to it?

    I was going to say, maybe someone tried to steal it, but then I realised that no one wants a gn250

    Serriously though - It sucks there are people out there who touch / move/ drop your bike, But were there anything you were parked over - such as a manhole, fire hrydrant, any services? Someone may of needed to get to somthing under your bike. Remember they might of needed to get machinery as close the kerb as possalbe or somthing, check if theres lots of mud around, thats the easy way to tell if there has been work done.

    I parked there as well yesterday and saw a couple of GN's.
    Didn't see anything untoward sorry.

    Mercer Street is between Willis Street and Victoria Street opposite the Library.

    Mercer St is the shor street from New World Metro on Willis Street to Victoria/Wakefield Streets by the City Council Offices/Art Gallery/Library.

    There are no manholes, fire hydrants or other services there and no new road works.

    Mirrors, brake levers, ets were still all set up in the same places so I doubt it was knocked over.

    It looked like a few bikes could have been moved to make room for a delivery van to park and unload and it is my guess that this is what happened. Still the wankers shouldn't have touched my bike.

    I'd still like to know what really happened though.

    Sometimes when the bike park is really congested and the ZX is right at the back, being such a wide bike, I have to move some bikes in front of me a little to get it out, but I always put them back carefully as I found them.

    I thought of that. But I was already at the back so ahouldn't have been in anyones way. The bike was moved so it was parallel to the kerb so took up even more room after being moved.

    If there were a few GN's parked there and some were the same colour maybe someone jumped on yours, wheeled it back and tried to start it, realised it wasn't there one, put it back and rode off on thier own bike... just a possibility...

    Yeah thought that was the street... I have heard of bike being moved for deliveries in that park. They shouldnt do it, id be pissed of if it happened to me.

    Man that sux, I had my bike moved in the park at Grey St not all that long ago and it really bugged me. If I caught someone moving it without a good reason I'd..... I'd.... I'd..... Ask Helen really nicely to punch them in the face for me.

    Just been down and had a chat with the shops looking out over the park. Noone saw anything so I guess this will go down as an unsolved mystery.

    No obvious damage, still goes and still got gas so I suppose I can't be too pissed off. Maybe I should just go on a ride to get over it!

    I have a had a couple of incidents where I have told couriers to get the f@*# out of the bike park, especially when I'm wanting to leave and they are blocking me !! Really pisses me off that does, since it's such a large bike-park they think they can share too.
