Well that's the end of that! My 14 was stolen.

[Globalrider]

Hooli, Hooli, Hooli!! Of all the family to have this happen! Gutted for ya Bro!
Our Law Enforcement out here has a similar reputation and yes much of society today is sick! With the damage you have already seen, I would assume it will be written off should it surface somewhere. Think of it as a stepping stone to another 14. And! maybe a resurrection with all the effort you put into the previous one! Now where did I leave my 45 Clint!

Small not particularly great update.

She's been ridden around the village two up with scummy scrotes on this afternoon. From what I've been told it seems the local scrotes are using her for delivering drugs from a local dealer.

The poor old girl, she deserved much better.

[Pommeroy]

Hooli, on the positive side she's still rideable. The longer she keeps going, the greater the chance the morons will be caught.

[Hooli]

With any luck they'll stay somewhere too long after someone has told me too.

I'm not confident but it's a slight hope.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read your post Hooli, I'm sorry for your loss.
Years ago the local bike thief/scumbag nicked the wrong bike..... it belonged to a bigger fish who promptly kidnapped the shitbag by throwing him into a van and taking him to a forest where he tortured the vermin.

The guy was subsequently nicked for abducting the poor thief but hey Ho bike thefts in the area stopped straightaway.

Confucious says - don't steal bikes from people who are capable of hurting you more, than you hurt them !

Sorry to read of this Hooli.

I like to think my over the top security measures at home will prevent such a thing but reality is it'll probably only slow them down - hopefully long enough for me to notice and "deal" with them as best I can.

Hi Hooli,

I just saw this thread and I'm very annoyed to read it.
Just fucking boils my blood to hear this, as previously was mentioned by others , what should be done to these bastards , if the law in society wasn't completely on it's fucking head. I won't rant, but I'm pissed off for you.
You taking the time to read and reply to my earlier posts today is very much appreciated ,even with all that going on in your head.
You're a credit to this forum Hooli. It's people like you on these forums that keep others coming back. Not to disregard other longstanding and very helpful members either of course.
I hope something positive comes out of this situation for you, starting hopefully with you getting your bike back.

There's always room in the world for a bit more tolerance and kindness.

Well i do hope your not serious about that Rob


I reckon the scrotes deserve ZERO tolerance !

Sorry to hear about the bike, it's one of my biggest fears.

Got the first offer off the insurance company today - £1168 minus my £300 excess. You'd be lucky to buy a scrap 14 for that & mine was a decent one for it's miles. I'll argue it for a while but doubt they'll raise it much, if at all.

[Dwain Dibley]

Send em photographic evidence, which will help defy the bikes high mileage. Mileage is pretty irrelevant when a machine is well maintained. Don't give in too easily Mate. My low mileage bike was full of work and neglect.

D.D.

[Hooli]

I've already done that, I fully expect to fail though as insurance companies take your money and give nothing back.

[Dwain Dibley]

Yes, (without opening a can of worms) Insurance is a nightmare Generally. Ah well, it's a waiting game then Bud.

When I got my insurance some 3 yrs ago the policy quote something like £1750 on trade in/theft etc, although I'd just paid £5500 with 25000 on it, insurance is just a legal scam.

every year when my renewals come through (bikes and cars )they ask the value of said vehicle,,I always reply "why ask my value when you will only give me bottom book or trade in value " .they can never give me an answer....legal fraud insurance nowadays.
