Thanks for all the support. It does seem like Charlie's right unfortunately. You think you're a step ahead by fitting a tracker and only leaving it for a short time in daylight hours only, but the reality is these guys are always 10 steps ahead of you. It's sad, but the next one will end up doing much less mileage as I won't want to risk taking it anywhere I can't see it As for the honey trap idea. If I wasn't working, I'd take my mates blade around there and sit in a car staking it out with a baseball bat. Luckily I have work, so no danger of me getting stabbed (let's face it - that's what would happen!!)
Sorry to hear about this, fella. You're right. If thieves want to get your bike then chances are they'll find a way. All we can do as owners is insure it and try to make it as difficult as possible for them.
Stalk the bastards and then do 'some' damage .. I remember in the last BSB in Brands Hatch i noticed a fireblade with the keys forgotten at the rear end lock next to the seat. I was a bit surprised to see this but that was a Big Mistake if the thieves are looking for an opportunity. These places are full of people looking for this sort of pray. I would say dont leave anything fancy out of your sight.
