Was it you I beeped at down towards elephant and castle the other night? You were turning right at the lights.

What's this fashion of posting directions to thieves where your, and other people's, bikes are parked?

A very common daytime strategy is to turn up with a 'breakdown' van and just throw the bike in there. Nobody is going to bat an eyelid, even other bikers will assume it's kosher, especially if one of the thieves is wearing leathers and carrying a helmet, pretending to be the owner.

This is exactly how an Aprilia Mille was stolen from a private car park at my old office. The security guard actually watched it happen on the cameras and saw nothing wrong. The owner only noticed when he left that afternoon. Very sad.

Good point, Paivi. TBH as much as I love my duke than the next person on here, I'm not that worried about it. I'm very much of the attitude that if it's gonna happen there's not much I can do about it apart from making it as difficult as possible. Appreciate posting it's whereabouts on a bike forum slaps in the face of that comment.

Now don't you be going down Sun St with your hacksaw with the intention of stealing my baby!

No!


Have spotted loads around London over the past year - Vauxhall Metropolis must be doing something right, or is just because Dukes are
