Woke up Friday Morning to go to work just to find my bike missing. :(

Obviously will never see it again as its an Enduro type bike, which will be ranted in some field and probably burnt out.

RIP Babe. :( It was a Honda XR 125-L5. 12000 miles on the clock and my first bike.

I will miss her.

Already looked at 2 new bikes but both were a bit dodgy
 
My brother recently bought an MX style bike, a Yamaha DT 125 I think - had it the grand total of one night before local scrotes tried having it away from a security shed where he lives. I guess this style of bike just attracts scum intent on stealing them!
 
The one night I didn't lock it ey?

I live in a Cul-de-sac as well. Straight of my drive way :( they must have come looking for it or for something to steal.

As soon as I buy a new bike, I will clearr out the garage to park it in there....we only just moved that's why lack of Garage space.

My leason learned I guess.

If anybody sees a ***** on this Bike, please kick him off and burn him with fire. :)

Well I had a letter from a Recovery firm that my bike has been recovered. I tried to ring them to find out what state it is in, there closed until tomorrow.

I rang the police and they don't even know it has been recovered. what the hell?

Surley they would?
 
I'd check them out on the web or at least speak to the police before contacting them.

Last thing you want is the thieves that pinched your bike running off with some of your cash too.

That's odd. How would the recovery even get hold of your details without the Police telling them. Get the police involved asap this could be a massive scam.
 
I just got 45 out of 50 and never looked at the test before, nor have I got that keen of interest in riding (at the moment).

Proves a lot of it is general road sense which is transferable from the car ;)
 
well, the recovery place also deals with police vans/cars/ and general emergancy vechicals. I got the bike back for £250...... they had it since the day it was stolen but I was never informed by the police great. Victim support knew it was recovered but the actull department giving details doesn't. The police never even told me it was recovered. 11 days after they found it....pah.

So i'm £250 down now. I will write a letter of complaint to the police and ask for the £250 back as they didn't even contact me or when i contacted them they said it was not recovered. Idiots!

The bike looked in good condition. I took it home in my mates van. It had both ignition wires unplugged which i guess means they hotwired it. The front panel was a little snapped off but still held on, so need new hot panel and already bought a new numberplate as it was missing. now the odd thing.

When I turn the key none of my lights come on. The Electric start does not work. It does start when I bumpstart it and keeps running. The indicators are going mental. flashing really fast but when I rev they just stay on. Once it is on I press the electric start and I can hear the spark.

I took it for a 3 hour ride to charge the batterie but still didn't work. I still need to bump it to turn it on and the indicators never work properly.

Should I take the battry out and charge it properly?

What ells could it be?
