Default Ghostly bike, hmmmm!

My bike must have went out on a little run last night on its own, which is weird because I'm sure I took the battery out to charge.

I woke up to find the cover had been removed, which I thought must have been the hellish wind last night. but then I noticed it wasn't where I left it. The wind isn't that good as it was still on its stand about 3 meters form where I left it...

Its now been severely warned never to do that again and is now chained up for being so naughty!

sounds like someone got disturbed while trying to take it for a walk.

Lucky you!

Wasnt Christine the name of that car that drove itself in that Stephen King book?

So, what, do you think someone picked the bike up and moved it? Was the steering lock on?
Maybe someone was practicing dead lifts on the bike cause his gym membership is up.

oh yeah, lol.

yeah the steering lock was on. I think someone must have tried 2 get away with it, and then either been disturbed, or gave up after trying to move it.

The dead lifts is a good theory though, but why would they go out of their way like that, there is plenty of rust buckets in far easier reach. lol

Probably concerned that he might dirty his hands.

Sounds like you had a VERY lucky escape! Glad they didn't get away with it.
