Bastards tried to steal my bike!

[B0000M]

They did up here! he hit them with his hockey stick after being stabbed! Guess who's getting charged????

might pay to finish them off and drop them off down a sidestreet in sth auckland.....

[DingoZ]

Dang thats lucky. Here's hoping they can be id'd from the footage if there is any....

What do we have to do. Nail, bolt, padlock and triple chain everything we own. Bring back the days when you could go out and leave your doors unlocked and the keys in the ignition....... Sad state of affairs indeed

The RRP for a set of Moto Hook Ties is going to be around $125 and the single secure rack strap is going to be around $67.50. Also have you got an email address as I have some suspension queries?

It is a sad state of affairs mate - yet we have more police officers and security firms these days(costing the public heaps) and still more crime! - I think they must attract thieves and crooks. Mind you the police are usually too busy thieving off the motorists and twiddling with their speed cameras and radars and wasting petrol to notice all the stealing thats going on.Makes me sick.
As a matter of interest - I wonder what causes this rise in crime - what are other peoples views on this? What are your ideas on solutions?

[MotoGirl]

I don't mean to be negative and I only say this because it's reality.
If someone really wants your bike, they will have it regardless of how you lock it down.

All you can do is insure yourself up to the hilt and try not to cry too much when they finally get it.

poverty, jealousy, laziness. As many have said "if someone wants it, they can get it but there's a million things you can do to make it harder for them and easier to find if they do get it. It just sucks that ya have to spend all this time, money and effort just to keep something that you've already paid for

Ive been searching for those wheel clamplocks for bikes that hold the bike upright too- Ive Googled ' motorbike wheel clamp lock' and ventura wheel clamp' cos I thought thats who makes them but I cant find the thing Ive seen in the past. they have a trough that you drive the front wheel into and it rocks forward and locks and the bike is held- I think they are for in the shed but I have heard that you can also put them on the trailer- Is this right?

[laserracer]

Hi cave weta have a look on www.thumpertalk.com ive seen them on there, do a search they may be able to tell you who the nz distributor is or thumpertalk have there own online shop you could have a look there
Cheers Dave

Ventura do the roll over type stands, we can get them, but they have no lock on them at all,

[laserracer]

How about something like these ??

[B0000M]

How about something like this ??

you can undo turnbuckles to the point that they release

[cave weta]

How about something like this ??

Thats great!- an inexpensive visual deterent!-If you lose your key , you just unscrew the turn buckle! That trailer looks desirable too! good tread on the tires

[B0000M]
