How to stop your bike being stolen. Tried and proven method

[joshwalker094]

This is the banter I love on here yeah pretty sure those raptors may be 1st In ugly list :P

You are mixing the two Josh.....do you mean the Raptor? Or the VRaptor.....


There is a subtle difference in their beauty, unfortunately the bad one looks like a Ducati Monster, but then it can't help it, being designed by the same bloke

No argument about the looks though.

The only way to truely stop your bike from being nicked, us if you make it look so bad, a thief would be wanting to wash his hands after touching it, or scared of moving it incase it felt to bits.


Bit like YCs SV

Oooh sensitive much...


True it is indeed a good theft deterrent Never had much problem with people parking too close either "not going near that he doesn't give a f*** about scratching it!!"

Also good to park next to some shiny GSXR or something

Like everything he designed then... looks sh*t and looks like a wheezing wop to boot...

Not at all. Being around them for about five years, theres only one I've heard of with starting issues, is because of an old battery, being stood for an unknown time in a showroom. Sure they have their irritating quirks, but they happen to be more reliable than the Sv.
An old battery gives issues with all bikes, not raptor specific.

Regardless of how ugly is immaterial. They are still stolen, and have a nasty high insurance bracket. Btw be careful of word wop, the sensitive amongst us might get upset

My original jibe should have read something like "we've got the loot go go go" "where's the nearest petrol station" or "was that puddle of coolant here a minute ago" or "sod this I'd rather get raped by big bubba instead of that pillion seat" or even "I'm glad I'm wearing a ski mask so my mates don't have to see me on that"

[dizzyblonde]

It's ok, my mates are proud to ride alongside me on it.

Although, its got me thinking, maybe we could club together to find some sort of mobile sack for you to ride your bikes under? It will keep hold of the bits dropping off, and stop any oil spills along the way, saving any unfortunate casualties, as well as stopping any mass sickness epidemic after viewing engine powered wheelie bins

Make it waterproof please

(and the wheelie bin remark is below the belt! It blew into the road on the f***ing motorway and I wasn't expecting one there, which I do not think was unreasonable!)

Very true - I'm thankful for small mercies.

However I disagree that it's ugly. My sparkley yellow one if lovely in my eyes


Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder
