Morning orgers,

Is there a way to find out how bad your area is for bike crime?

Re: Bike crime in your area???
 

Dunno about bike crime specifically but police forces (or mine atleast) released an online way of checking crime in the area not long back.
Just keep it locked

Sort of what I was after http://www.tiscali.co.uk/money/featu...motorbike.html

More motorbikes are stolen in the UK than are bought new. :smt013

The top five areas for theft include West Yorkshire, West Midlands and Greater Manchester.

The top four makes of motorcycle that account for over 85 per cent of thefts are Hondas, Yamahas, Kawasaki's, and Suzuki's.

MK is right on the M1 corridor = easy pickings for thieves.
They can get in a van, head up or down the motorway to wherever they want, grab whatever they want and be gone again really easily.
Drive as per the limit in a legal van and theres no reason why you should be picked up.

Instant ebay spares or trackbike.
