Protecting your bike - practicals part 9
 
#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.

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?

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

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

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.

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 !;)
