Protecting your bike - practicals part 9

[pete m]

#Here we go again...the slum dwellers have been at the ZX6R again, pinched the front pegs - gear shift and brake levers all gone....im now worried about the bling bits Ricardo put on the front end - bought from USA at massive cost.....:(...come on, what to do to stop em coming back for calipers....

i might tell the police, they are not gonna sit outside all night, lets face it :rolleyes:

Brixton? Surprised the bike's still there, why don't you move?? No idea how to secure the bits, fat chances.

what to do to stop em coming back for calipers...

Wire the metal parts of the bike to the 240V mains supply, unless you can splice it into the 33kV local distribution grid....

Maybe one of these would help you protect your bike?

an air rifle or cross bow is tempting.....:smt013

Crossbows are cool, police don't like them much.

Get a couple of thunderflashes and wire the pins to a bike cover.

As we say on ukrm "Move to a less pikey area"

[pookie]

That sucks ... What about one of those garage box, shed type things you can drive into and lock up, I guess its not moveable otherwise I'd suggest hiding for a while at least until ebay free listing has finished.

[pete m]

yea those metal boxes would be a solution - prob cost more than the bike did tho....:cool:...

and Loz ..its not the pikeys round here .....sink estates there are many, caravans few !;)

what a shi*er.... no idea how to stop em coming back though :confused:

some low life stole my rain cover and i was pi**ed off about that ( and it wasn't even raining) so i know how you feel...:smt013

[pete m]

lost 2 rain covers long ago - just wonder if they would have made the difference, along with the alarmed boss lock ....


needless to say folks , im looking for two front pegs for G1 model with attachments, oh and exhaust hanger bolt , thats all for now ...:smt120

[DaveW_42]

can you drill and lockwire everything of value on there? Bit of a pain I know... and doesn't stop anyone with a pair of wire cutters...

[andrewsmith]

Have a spare 02 zx636 gear lever in the cupboard - think it will fit- might take a few days to post but you can have it if you want. Move house / get a garage when you can.

[AndyBrad]

sat night leave the bike in the road with the cover off, drink coffee and sit up. then shoot them with bb gun. It just so happens i have a bb gun going cheap :)

Unless you throw a cat in a wheelie bin - then they'll sit there all day and night.
