Expand That's a major issue here! Virtually every time I wash the bike it's not because of road muck.....it's because of dust. And because it's so sandy you can't just put some polish on it because it'll scratch the paintwork. You just gotta hose it away. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep same here, set off on a ride, come back and it's is dusty......but it looks clean as I don't think I have ridden it in the wet...,..I will remove the seat tub which makes access to the engine a doddle. A few things to do to it, oil change in around 1000 miles, new plug, and the wheel paint is poor, respray during the winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 In all my years of riding I have only ever had 1 bike stolen from me, I don't want to ever go through the anger/rage and frustration again.........the feeling when you return to where you parked your bike and find a empty space is soul destroying ........and the absolute crap that insurance companies come up with when trying to claim, it may only be a lowly scooter to you guys, but it's my scooter paid for with my money Rant over. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Admit it or not we all have a relationship with our bikes no matter what they are, they're in part priceless so yer thats the lowest of the low. Well not exactly, insurance companies are the lowest of the low, the differences between insurance companies and thieves are difficult to discriminate. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I hold a grudge, id do it just for the fun of it, more should do it in areas of high theft. Most chit being done is by a small percentage of repeat offenders. Take them out...crickets.

busabeast Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 We should all just become vigilantes, I like your thinking tym. God help the twats who take a swipe at my property if I catch them they'll be lucky to be able to walk again let alone talk and I don't care for the consequences from the supposedly proud to protect(the thieving scum) coppers as I feel everyone has the right to protect their property. In my eyes the only thing the yanks have got right 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some food. I've never been to a wedding where everyones not starving and inebriated by the time the food arrives. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
