#1 Post by ibicker » Mon Nov 15, 2010 8:24 pm

Hi Guys My red falco was stolen today whilst I was at work at St Georges Hospital Tooting. It was immobilised but not chained.

WX05LCF.

Feel as sick as can be. Just hoping works cctv can pick something up.

Really sorry to hear about that, Ian. It tears your guts out when something like that happens. I'd be watching eBay closely in the coming weeks. Any distinguishing features on the bike?

thanks mango. It had a bit of damage down the left side where I had a bit of a prang. Other than that a lovely low mileage 130000 bike that gave me no trouble at all.
Had blue flame exhausts. Oh and was gonna need a back tyre in a week or so!!! Bastards such is life!!!!

I'm probably in the wrong part of the country but I'll keep my eyes open.

Really feel for you.

I had a bike nicked while I was at work (many years ago) - I recall it's a bit of a shock and a bit of a gut-wrencher.

Not exectly the best Christmas present is it.
I know how you feel, fortunately never had a bike stolen, but "lost" 3 or 4 cars some years ago!
We'll all keep a look out on eBay etc..

gutted for you mate

and start trawling ebay every day


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Arse!

I've spent a couple of painful hours in St Georges in the past, and I feel your pain now.

Hope it gets sorted.
