    Here's a funny thing, out and about today we stopped at willy woods for a coffee, my brother and I were never more than 20 yards from our bikes and at one stage my brov got nervous when another biker was a little too close to his presious R1. When we were ready to leave it became apparent that his reservior cover had been knicked. LOL
    Once I stopped laughing, and did I laugh, we said how sad is that, they cost next to nothing and yet someone feels the need to steal? It could only be a Yamaha owner, I'm quite sure a Blade owner would buy his own.

    Didn't he have the little metal lock thing fitted to it that screws in?

    That's terrible. What an ignorant prick.

    I know radiator caps get nicked alot on offroad bikes but not heard of that one before!


    At trackdays you have to leave stuff lying around unattended alot and I've not had much if a problem

    Had a petrol jug nicked and that's about it. Heard of lots of things getting pinched though. While doing the briefing at lilting lots of stuff went missing and at donnington a Gsxr cup racers leathers were stolen.

    Why I don't know. They had Dunlop and Suzuki logos all over them and the guys name on the bike so not hard to notice if the real owner ever saw the bloke who stole them again

    Any biker who steals from another biker is scum as far as I am concerned.

    It goes without saying that things like yer little socks and goodies will go adrift if left unattended for a short period of time, and its a crying shame it happens, even worse is the fact that it will be attached to someone elses bike ! Bas***ds

    I pictured brake fluid splashing all over the place ... DOH

    Okay. I'm up for a biker who steals form a biker is the worse kind of pond life. Mutilated, burned with hot irons, hamstrung (my personal favourite) yadda yadda yadda.

    But, the one think I really cannot understand in this whole sorry, heartbreaking tale is......what do those little socks do!?!......
