[QUOTE=daveyrach;2769272]How did they intend to start the bikes?




One sits on the stolen bike, one guy on the scooter puts his foot on stolen bike foot-peg, scooter pushes stolen bike down the road.


That's how I got mine anyway.

Seen this done, not to steel a bike but a scooter boy helping his mate towards the petrol station.

Hi-viz had to be involved, he's got a tyre iron in his hand.

what bugs me is if they get caught the staff member will get done with assault.

this country is going to the dogs and something needs to be done. stiffer sentences and no toys in cells with a good hosing down every day for habitual offenders. make the prisons somewhere you really really don't want to go.

If that does indeed happen I suggest organising some sort of protest ride out!

Well played to the first staff member, 1 v 4 and he still kept the bike!

What an astonishing video, brazen is not the word.

Bit gutted mr high vis got away though, kudos on pushing him over twice that man.

I've just watched it a few times through and its a hammer from under his seat, it only comes out when he gets pushed off the scooter and his seat pops open.

How mortified would you be if that were you and you were just in the wrong place wrong time etc... I'd be expecting a nice apology ducati some time soon lol.
