STOLEN: Black Falco & CBR600RR

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Sat Jul 14, 2012 10:42 am

Mark (musclebiker) from this very forum has had two bikes stolen from his garage.

His message on the CovBikers forum reads;

musclebiker wrote: Had 2 bikes taken from my garage last night, my Aprilia Falco and a mates CBR600RR

Falco is all black and CBR is black with a silver wing.

Please keep a look out.

Taken from a locked garage in a fairly quiet road in the dead of night, professional job?
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Reg #'s would be a good idea. :smt002

Tim is out and about that area today and will keep an eye out.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

And also an idea of anything that will uniquely identify the bike(s).

Bastards.

Reported to the police but they said they are not coming out. Not classed as a proper burglary because our garage door does not have another door inside linking it to the house..

So sorry mate,
thieving bastards.

If it is out on the road, fhe Nooj LED backlight is prety unique, the HID dip only is also something that stands out, plus there are not too many high level Rene exhausts about, so a combination of all these three plus the Ohlins rear shock is a unique combination.
The sad thing is they may be stripped off and on eBay very soon, so keep an eye open.

Ask for the chief constable tO explain this approach

Ask in writing

Copy to MCN


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...

wot 'ee said

oh and maybe we could do with having a thread with 'ebay watch' searches in it.. falco related, etc

such as 'Falco rear lights' 'Renegade exhaust' (my fave search)

So sorry to hear this - I'll be keeping my eyes open.


Wish I could be surprised at the approach of the local plod .....

as i said

call them out - make them explain their actions

at the end of the day, and no disrespect at all to any here - but they are OUR public servants

we pay your wages, so do the bloody job you are supposed too

and by writing to them, SOME ONE has to put their name on the line for being a cunt - so make them

If you do find out where the bike/s are FFF don't rely on the police to go and fetch them.
With how slow the police will react the bikes will be gone by the time they get there.
GO MOB HANDED!!!

They'll also charge you an extortionate 'storage and recovery' fee. You've got my number and you know the sort of people I can assemble. If you find the bikes, let me be one of the first to know.. The bastards won't know what's hit um! :smt002

Damn !!!!!
The police are so inconsistent - when my bike and gear was stolen - detached garage with no attchement to house - they attended, dusted for prints and were very thorough and helpful. Hope they catch the scum.

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
