XT125R Stolen from Bradford Gutted! Let my brother borrow it as his headstock had gone on is bike, he parked it outside a friends house and stood in the kitchen watching the bike and next time he looked it had gone. Just happened 20 minutes ago. :bye:

Cant claim on insurance as he was only covered TP to ride the bike or thats how i understand it. What process do i have to follow if i am not claiming on the insurance ect.....

How do i avoid any storage charges ect..

Tell the insurance it was robbed from your house ;)

[benji106]

Unlucky mate, thats ****. I'm not an insurance expert but would you not still be covered for theft by your insurance even though your brother had borrowed it?

[ian505050]

The bike is no more

Basically he parked bike in drive was watching it through the kitchen window while dropping something off at a friends house.

He could not see out because the kitchen lights were on, he turned them off so he could see outside and it had gone. It all happened in just a few minutes. He ran outside looking up and down the streets while on the phone to the cops.

The cops sent out 3-4 cops cars to search the area and by bro tells me all he could here was screeching tyres for 15 minutes while cops were desperately hunting for the bike.

It had been nicked by chavs who had seen him park the bike. They waited for him to go inside, snapped the steering lock and free-wheeled down the hill to the nearest back alley, tried to start it and failed. The then removed the fuel cap and set it on fire to get rid of fingerprints.

To say i am gutted is an understatement, the bike was gonna be my mode of transport over the summer to get to work.

will anything be salvageable? mmmmmmmmm.......

******s............. really boils my blood i had my XRX 125 stolen in 2008 totaly messed me up.
i wish they got it started, crashed and died thieving scum T4t's . as long as no public joe gets hurt obviously .

shame about your bike dude, i would still see if i could claim.

[davepreston]

if you've got it insured you can claim for theft or fire, your bro dont matter much cos he wasnt riding it, it was parked and stolen ,hence fire and theft

[beabert]

*******s

As above

This^^^

If your policy covers theft you should be covered, the bike was being temporarily stored and it was stolen. Your policy still applies no matter who was riding it at the time...

Always gutting to see your pride and joy in a state though, not a violent person but if I caught them with mine I suspect the name breaker bar might become a bit more literal...


Edit to add: I wouldn't entertain ideas of salvaging anything from the bike, what isn't heat damaged will be smoke damaged, just let them write it off

[L3nny]

I will have to check the wording on my insurance but I am pretty sure that I am not covered for theft when the bike is in the charge of someone else.

Check your policy before calling to see if you are covered. If your not covered :-dd

I feel really sorry for you mate, that is the lowest of the low what they have done there. If someone is stealing something to sell cause they need/want the cash you can kind of understand but that is just midless vandalism.

[Specialone]

Oh dude that's sickening :(

One thing, why are you worrying about insurance, just say you was visiting that house, you can ride and park it anywhere you like.

Why do they need to know your bro was in charge of it ?

[carelesschucca]

This S**KS Big time. I hope you manage to get it all sorted.

[speedplay]

I'm with Phil on this.
The bike was stolen while you were visiting someone ;)
As for salvage, the rental sticker looks ok...

[Geodude]

I cant type what i want to say but guess its the words you used when you saw your burnt out bike, gutted for you mate. When will they do somthing about this chav take what i like do what i like culture.

[Specialone]

On a serious note, the engine itself would run I'd bet with new ancillaries, from the pic that can would clean up as well.

[yorkie_chris]

Yeah engine looks fine. Be careful as some burnt plastic residues can be very very nasty if you do end up playing about with it.

[ian505050]

thanks for all the message of support, bike was worth £1400 approx market value but luckily i managed to buy it for £700 2 months ago so it not a huge loss in the grand scale of things. So basically i am down £700 notes and quite a bit of wasted time making it look nice and shiny in the first photo. Gonna go strip it down today and maybe get £150 for the can and maybe £50 for the rear rim if its ok?

gutted looking back how much fun i had on the bike in the 2 months i owned it.

Pretty sure i am not gonna claim as it not worth if personally money wise after paying the excess and its not worth banging up everyone else's insurance costs. Just gonna take it as a hit.

Maybe if the bike had been locked up it might not have happened, but you cant protect against everything. The bike could have been stolen using force when parked at traffic lights so there is no point in looking back, whats done is done.

[benji106]

Theiving Scum make my blood boil they had absoulutely 0 gain from doing that, just left you gutted and out of pocket. Id love to get hold of the gob****es and give them a proper kicking and give their parents a slap and all.

[yorkie_chris]

Kicking? I'd shoot them for sport.

[Specialone]

Personally I would still claim, but that's your decision.

Maybe look for a donor bike, cat d or something and rebuild it.

Good luck anyway dude, sick *******s will get it one day, karma and all that.

[ian505050]

I seriously like your thinking on the rebuild from a cat d, might make it so it passes the MOT but still looks like its just been on fire . Now that would be a cool looking bike to turn up to the bike meet on. I did not declare the arrow can to the insurance and it was parked outside with no security and was/had just been used my bro who was riding it TP only so not gonna claim. Probably to late to in form insurance now as its been over 24 hours.

[yorkie_chris]

With the price you paid for it they'll soon wring any pay out back off you with excess and future premiums.

I would not use that frame again TBH.

gonna respray the frame(can get it done for free), advertise it on ebay and explain exactly what happened in the advert so i can give a potential buyer the option of decideing wether its useable or not.

Bikes already been stripped into 100 different parts and i am in the process of refurbishing any salvageable parts.

yer deffo not claiming, the can has already been sold for £200 after a 30 minute session of autosol

Someone reversed over my bike on a Saturday, I didn't phone the insurance till Tuesday! No issues with that!

[Bluefish]

Gutted for you mate, thieving ****ing scum, well done on your attitude though, hope you make it work for you, ps don't lend a bike out again, ;).
