Are you sure it wasn't the hat that was the target as that might produce a different list of suspects?

So as you have already had the pain of scum ruinung your day might I suggest we move on to discussing potential replacements?
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Anyone interested in a beat up old Honda? There's a tatty old hat and some proper worn out gloves I'll chuck in for free..
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Bollocks :smt003

On the other hand I bet it would fit the panniers in my shed.

The only people I know that steal people's hats are you bunch of bastards.

I won't replace it as I don't really need a commuter now that I'm within walking distance of work. Might be tempted by something old and strange though.

I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself.
You hang in there sunshine, you're special!

Went a nice slow ride round scrotesville today. Didn't find a bike but I did find lots of scrotes to stare menacingly at. It was fun, might go again tomorrow.

I find your profile picture oddly arousing, coming to the Marche's meet?

Sorry to hear of your loss, hope things get sorted quickly..
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Thanks, I've done the surprisingly sparse paperwork and they reckon a few weeks until it's settled.

I'm rather late to the party but I should think after the lenthy debate on here about what commuting bike you should buy, there will be a few of us gutted on your behalf.
I hope you get the little scrotes, sorry, insurance sorted out OK.

Well the insurance made me an offer on Thursday and it wasn't far off what I expected to be honest but I've asked them to try again just on principle.

As to the scrotes it seems there had been a bunch of decent, hardworking itinerant travelling folk pitched up in the area, didn't find out until they'd buggered off again.

I now have a strange urge to buy a CBF1000.

Good, the insurance company will not be in any hurry to give money away.
As for your suspected perpetrators, they are more into motocrossers for personal toys and any other thievery targets anything with a fast turn over such as chainsaws, generators, anything with a scrap value, equestrian items, working/fighting dogs, horses, caravans ( not a full and comprehensive list )
I suspect your thieves stole this for a joyride or to order, this would seem to exhibit a little more intelligence than that displayed by my 'cousins' from across the water
Cleverly disguised as an adult !
