Bike Theft .... Ever happened to you?..

(1/2) > >>

Diesel:
I think STs are almost 'off the market' as they don't seem to get ripped off that much compared to other makes.

I have been quite lucky in that neither mine nor my mates bikes have ever been stolen - not even gear on the bike or accessories.  (I'm madly touching wood right now!)

What about you?

Where were you? How'd it happen? Were you on a ride and parked somewhere at the time? Did you ever see your bike/gear again?

Tell all - we might learn something valuable from your experience.

Cheers, Diesel

Dan:
Well now I've gone and done it, I voted No.... first it gets knocked over, I hope it doesn't get stolen next!

I don't know anybody first-hand who has had a bike stolen either.

alans1100:
If someone feels that energetic to man handle a 300kg bike then good for them. It's certainly not a bike I'd walk more than a few feet without fear of dropping it and I own it. As for gear theft, no problem as there's more than enough space with side cases, top box and trailer for the longer trips.

Even on my CX500 Turbo all those years ago doing the coast from Kingston S.E. in SA to Sydney we had no issues with gear theft for the few times when we left bike in shopping centre carparks etc. And I've pushed that bike 5kms home after an alternator failure.

Brock:
Nothing from the ST, but had helmet n gloves stolen from my previous bike while parked in Perth.

A most uncomfortable ride home it was

Sim:
Ditto with Brock, previous bike, gear taken off the back, at night... 'lesson learnt' never do that again.
