Things can only get better

i hope it can only get better cos it feels like i'm being kicked when i'm down. i've had the ktm 3 and a half years with only 2 atempts of nicking it about a year ago so i think it was opertunists this time cos i don't normaly leave it there. it was me being lazy. last year when insured it the guy told me that at the time ktms were the most stolen bikes in the uk and he was surprised i still had mine!

Not sure exactly where you are, North Yorks... I might have been up there pot-holing, quiet enough. But do you know any motorbike couriers about the area? In Dublin, (where bikes are stroked left and right BTW) when any of our bikes got robbed, we put APBs out on the courier network. The lads new bikes, and this was a pretty effective way of getting a location on them (unless they were stripped and parted out I suppose). Contacting the cops was absolutely pointless in this regard.

You owe pints to the lad who spots it

Rotten luck by the way.
