Hey guys

For anyone in the Beckenham area, keep an eye on you bike as i had mine nearly nicked from outsie my house last night. no lasting damage done but the bent the pin on the ignition barrel and carved a deep groove in the frame so there is no real steering lock on my bike now.

Lucky for me that i had the window open and wasnt quite asleep and heard the alarm go off, lucky for them that i didnt catch the scum.

I think they may have tried earlier in the month when i came out in the morning and the bike was on its side. dont know how they thought they were going to wheel it away with the disk lock on, a van i guess.

So everyone be on the lookout!

At least they didn't get it, but not a nice welcome to the area! Is there anywhere you can chain the bike? I've got several huge Almax chains and my bike is chained to a tree.
