Bike theft figures

[Kilted Ginger]

WHilst attending the bikesafe course last week i found out that on average only 35 motorbikes a year are stolen within the Central police area, most of them being off roaders.:riding:

Whilst this is reassuring I an now wondering if my £200 investment in an almax chain was worth it:smt102

Thought it would have been more than that. Good to know :)
Someone should tell the insurance companies!

lol, it'll be more than that for just the month round here.

Although off roaders and scoots are popular for nicking, normally cause easy to do and where used after nicked, other hots are race reps, specially if they are things like R1/6s etc that are used by privateers at tracks

[Owenski]

mind you does that stat include the ones which are not insuresd?

[Kilted Ginger]

Its the thefts reported to the police.

Maybe it's the investment in Almax chains that keeps the figures so low?

[Owenski]

Its the thefts reported to the police.


hmm so that'll include the off roaders that were never recovered then. :(

Its a proper shame why do people have to do it.
