STOLEN BIKE

[Wenier]

i wouldnt mind some kind of tracker set to a silent alarm (like a transponder thats in planes) and that way when its set off you could track it.

Just get gps tracking. Not too expensive i think, not quite sure on the price though. Probably not worth it for a $5000 bike though.

Ah shit man that sucks, if i see the wee f#$& you can rest assured he's going down, TL's are good for mowing things down, especially scum!

Hey sAsLEX, sorry to hear about these bastards. The best I can really offer is to beat them with my cast if I saw them around.

I hear there are quite a few bikes go walk about around uni, did you have a lock on it? I've got a big mutha of a chain lives under my seat, and park next to a nicer looking bike that doesn't get it steering locked. No problems yet, but I am thinking about buying one of the oxford brute force anchors and sinking it into the asphalt at uni.

Hopefully you'll get her back soon, might be worthwhile banging an anchor in on Symonds Street for ya to lock it to..

(BTW have any of you techie people ever considered setting up your bike to give electric shocks to thieving bastards..? We could set up decoys all over New Zealand... just think! Saw a great skit on TV in the UK where they set up a car as a decoy for thieves: it then locked them in and forced them to listen to Barry Manilow at top volume... then squirted 'em with suspicious white goo..)

I did look into electrifying the bike, as I've got a friend that works with electric fence energisers. Problems include getting an offender to touch two metalic parts of the bike at once, plus you'd likely fry your CDI, as well as anybody who might happen to brush past your bike.

What would probably be fun would be a mechanism that'd high side a thief the first time they leant the bike over

hahahahaha!! Sorry, really hope to hell you get your bike back... but fuck that's funny, hahahahaha!!

Bikes are too easy to throw in an enclosed metal bodied vehicle = no GPS signal.
That's how a few GPS equipped cars have gone walkabout, put into containers.
Hopefully, the system manufacturers will come up with a counter, counter - measure soon.

For the record, I have the same coloured bike up in auckland, so make sure you guys look twice before running me off the road!

Will keep an eye out Alex!

Getting a position fix inside a panel van might be possible if one used a very very highly sensitive GPS receiver. But it'd be a bit on the difficult side of not-very-likely.

One's hope would generally be that the system would get a view of the sky at some point later on, generating an alert so that you could head round with a baseball bat, etc.

Also has a Radar detector mount inside the right hand mirror, was a custom build by me, so would be easy to recognise for those that have seen it before.

Cheers for the support guys, have thought that I must now get my XR250 going again and make it road legal!

and the new brake pads have just turned up in the mail, how cool

That is exactly what happened to a guy at work 6 weeks ago. He binned his bike and flew over a 'moving bonnet' on his way to work which completely ruined his Monday! Couple of days later his pads turn up at work on the courier...he had a moment He sent them back though and got a credit from the supplier.

This same guy also got his Gixxer stolen like you, but it was found adandoned alongside some house on the local beach. Just joyriders we thought. There is still a chance you'll get it back, hopefully unharmed!

My bike has gone missing outside Engineering on Symonds st between 1000 and 1100.

Red and black CBR250RR reg 25WEK any seeings run the cunt down and beat them stupid.

Maybe you should just look after your bike a bit better, and the thing wouldn't have gone missing. You sure you didn't misplace it???

Cheers.

The One you joking hey?
good...

Anyway saslex all the best on finding it, have told everybody i can that could help so hopefully it will turn up - and to the other like 10 riders on here with the same colour paintjob ride legally and expect to be picked up as hopefully the spread is getting wider as to who knows what to pull over.
