FFS Guys Bike on RTW Trip Stole in Dublin

Reku

Unfortunately even with people being kind enough to loan him a bike while he's in Ireland he's still stuck for the rest of his tour so hopefully they manage to get it back for him before he has to leave.

Could you imagine if the replacement bike was stolen.

With luck the cnuts who stole it will have a nice single bike collision with a tree on the next one they steal.

I'd prefer if it was in a car, one less accident that they can throw up in the stats.

He was just assembling his second 690 that he had shipped over, when he got the call that it had been found.

I suppose I should add my recent woes to the list of Dublin motorcycle theft activity.

One or more people tried to lift my Street Triple R there 2 weeks ago. They couldn't start it but in trying to they removed the ignition barrel, broke through the seat lock (I now know how easy it is and could do myself with the right implement), pulled my alarm system out and then tried to hot wire the bike but blew a fuse and that was the end of that.

The garage tells me this is the 3rd Triumph into them for repair from a theft in the last 2 months. So there seems to be a run on Triumphs. What's worse for me is that this is where I work. It is an underground gated and barriered car park. It absolutely pisses me off that it is suppose to be secure but people are in lifting bicycles and now Motorbikes at will. Sure once you can get in and out of one you are out of sight of the public for the most part.

Anyway insurance is having to pay out for a new electrical harness, alarm, key set, and some cosmetic damage and it isn't cheap. Expect to see me on the 'Insurance - Tell us your quotes/renewals' thread moaning next year.

Gardai attitude when they arrived at the scene was 'You called us to begin your insurance claim and you need a case report number?'.

It seems like my loss is everyone else's gain as the job has negotiated some improved security measures from the building landlord. I'm just waiting to see what that turns out to be. I'll be adding using my chain at work to my list of essential security measures, as I used to just be using the disc lock. There's a few nice looking steal beams I reckon I could use for wrapping the chain onto.

[Adding the additional kick in the b4lls]
What made it even worse for me was I had just serviced the bike and got new brakes on the Saturday, new tyres on the Sunday, bike out of action on the Monday.
I had great plans to break all the new parts in. Argh!

Really sorry to hear that Dorsanty....ugly thing to happen to anyone. Hope it all works out for you.

I know a few people who had their bikes robbed, the police couldn't care less.

Surely they can't jack up your premium for that..

Question, did they have a go at your disc lock?

Question the second, did the car park not have cameras?

edit ; my sympathies btw, nothing like dat feel of a damaged bike

Seriously though take extra precautions, maybe get a camera from someone if you can. Chances are they'll be back or try it again

you should ask about putting in some ground anchers, i think that they should be put in underground car parks and on street parking where there is bike racks so the fkers cant lift them.
