Bike stolen
 

My Bike was stolen last night from my garage EC 250 2008 only been out on it 5 times green laning epic rides tho :)

I've only posted here a few times however I have found this forum very helpful and intended posting a ride report with a few vids once I had got more accustomed to being on a bike after along time on 4 wheels. Looks like that's going to have to wait a little longer now.....the feckers:mad:

That truly sucks. Hope the dirtbags who stole it get syphilis.

:D Amen, that and then some!

I am in Knoxville and ride most all the trails around here. Will keep an eye out.

Get out and ask around. Someone has seen these pukes riding the thing.

Any distinguishing marks?

Be sure and let Dave know at Sportscycle in Maryville.

I doubt it will turn up in Knoxville lol, the guy is from England , have a search of the local area , in bushes and around the back of garages, the scum are know for hiding their loot and coming back during the day so it doesn't look so suspicious

That sucks getting your bike clipped. I hope the scumbags get skinned with a rusty knife. There is a "Bristol" close to Knoxville Tennessee, I'm from that area. If its Bristol UK, then thats a different situation. Is there any chance of getting some surveillance video from a nearby intersection, nearby govt building or nearby bank or business? I know you guys are a little camera crazy over there.

Next try any pawn shops, thats where the quick money crack junkies usually go. If you file a report, the police should be able to check the shops electronically. Make sure that you give the police the frame number and the motor number If it is like the Florida, the pawn shop will have a fingerprint, id copy and photo of the seller.

If the thiefs aren't that stupid, that will try to part out the bike. Keep a eye peeled for any parts postings.

No CCTV in my street, however am going to install one on my drive before I get a replacement. I've had a good look around and put the word out but I don't think its going to turn up. I had a pikie sniffing around my drive a few weeks back when i was working on the bike he managed to get a good look into the garage before I managed to close the door and walk him of the drive, that's when I added extra locks. I went to their camp site yesterday to see if I could see anything, drove by today and they have gone.

I saw Bristol and thought it was Bristol, TN.:p

Heck...me too. Kinda neat that they named their town after the one in TN :D

I hear there's also a "Paris" over there somewhere as well.

It wouldn't surprise me!!!

But seriously... I sincerely hope the bike gets returned to you. Seems here is the American South East, we go thru 2 seasons in which nothing is safe, spring and fall. Its anyone's guess where those bikes end up.

Yeah, I wonder if their main street is Tennessee in south lane and Virginia in the north lane...:D

I wish my Bristol was in the USA some places you get to ride look so much nicer then the green lanes around Bristol UK.:)

fooking pikies why cant they leave stuff alone,

mate I would keep a eye out on ebay and site like that as I bet there dumb enough to sell it or it in bits, then at least you can get the old bill on em

thanks for keeping an eye out, its not my frame....i have been looking on ebay and else where. I had to barrow a bike yesterday to do an event our club put on which added 2 hours to my day picking up and dropping off.:mad:

oh well I've been turned to the dark side by another club member and gone and got myself a KTM 250 factory edition cheapish :confused:

And just to add to my frustration Ive developed tennis elbow in my left arm :eek:

Check in Ireland also. Some bikes got stolen by me And within two days were for sale 1500 miles away

Get a BIG solid ground anchor that you concrete into the floor, and invest in a proper chain and lock.
also a garage alarm just a cheap simple one powered by a 9v battery.

chances are they'll be back!!
my mate had 2 bikes nicked the same way, 3rd time he installed a snarling german shepherd dog next to his garage

Ditto on the German Shepherd, add a couple of hidden cameras too.
