    Bastards tried to steal my bike!

    Yesterday I was in a supermarket on the way back from a ride and while I was in there someone tried to take one of my rental bikes off the trailer.

    They all had a steel cable passed through the wheels so the cheeky pricks gave up.
    But it was a nasty scare! I was parked right out in front of the checkout area
    in the dropoff zone cos Im always paranoid about parking down the back where there is more room for a trailer. thamk god I parked there. the Manager said that the cameras look out through the window and he should have footage of the culprit- I have to go back today and see....

    It got me looking on the net for secure ways of carrying bikes and I found This:

    They are just the bees knees! Stainless Steel reinforced webbing tiedowns with stainless locks and hooks!
    I reckon these with a trailer lock and you are set!
    Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......

    i had the same thing happen, i was parked at a motel for one of the epic events rides in taupo, i backed the ute right up to the window in my room, when i came out in the morning all the straps were off, if i didnt have a chain and a big padlock through the wheel it might have gone!!! sometimes it just doesnt pay to have nice things. sad.

    They've gotta be the dumbest pricks to undo the straps and find that it had a lock on it. Losers

    It's sad that you have to take these precautions but you do. I'm afraid we share our world with these thieving scum buckets and there's nothing to be done but weld everything down.

    Glad they were foiled this time mate.
    Oh bugger

    Had a mate with a seat that was electrified. If the kill switch was on and some one sat on it then they'd get however many volts in the arse
    Might be a good idea to get one back(or have a laugh at unsuspecting mates)

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
