Dublin City - Word of warning !!!

KTRIC

Just a little word of warning for anyone out and about on a sunny bike ride in Dublin city during the summer months.

I was parked up on Harry Street having a cold one with the missus and watched a well dressed middle aged man giving my bike a good looking over, for some reason he was interested in the top of the engine block. I didn't think anything of it until he sheepishly looked around to see who was watching and went to pull out one of the HT leads !! Only to catch the eye of the bouncer on the pub door.

The same thing happened to me many years back when I had a nice HD XR1200X, came out to find the HT leads pulled off it.


So when you're in town or anywhere keep your pride and joy in sight, its not always little scroats in their blue tracksuits that do the vandalising.

Parked up in town for lunch today and got the usual eyes over the bike. Only for two ladies (one i recognise) ran her hands over the tank. Cue me mutter across the street to myself and the missus. I said nothing to her because I know her sort of.

Got over to the bike only to find a once inch square scratch on my lovely matte paint, some of it down to the primer from what I presume was a ring on her finger !! :mad:

To say I'm livid is an under statement !!:mad:

I doubt it but its done and its sitting glaring me in the face. €18500 bike without a mark on it and the last thing you want is a nice scratch right on top of the tank.

Honestly you are taking it a lot better than I would! The unfortunate reality is what it is!

Let's hope there is karma!

I'm off to the Garda station after work, there was a CCTV camera pointing at the bike and the owners of the camera said they will co-operate with the Gardai, I also know who the woman is and where she works.

Make sure the time-code & date-code on the CCTV is synced or it's useless as evidence
