  1. I bought a crossbow after the 5th attempt. I told the police that us people are like sheep, the wolves do as they wish with us as we can't legally defend our selves. The shepherds (Police) seem to have abandoned the flock because they don't do shit to protect us. I have a disability called POTS, can't walk very far so rely on my cheap bike to get me around. I don't look for sympathy only solutions to problems, Im starting to think that the only solution to this problem is overwhelming firepower. Sadly a lot of people don't agree but I say that as soon as a criminal engages with you with intent to harm and steal they forfeit their rights as a human.
  2. I agree I put people in danger, but I am not insured for theft. As stated because of the void (recently overturned) I am not yet covered for theft. Losing the bike would mean being 2000 in debt with no bike.
  3. Hey guys thanks for all replies, I am looking at all of them I live in sheffield / Rotherham by the way in between both towns. Sadly I agree it feels like I live in Detroit.
  4. Hey guys new to this forum and need to vent and get some advice. I got a 125cc in February this year, a brand new honda CB125f. Within 1 month someone tried to steal it but was unsuccessful. Then the next month someone tried again and once more was unsuccessful. Finally in July my house was burgled with me in it they stole my keys and my bike. It was recovered a week later but beyond repair, I got it back for insurance purposes and ended up getting my full bike license (hurray). But my insurance was voided (More on that later) so I had to settle for another 125 so I got a grom. Now do not get me wrong the grom is serving me well. It cost me 1500 pounds, has some aftermarket stuff on it that gives it a little more zing. Well I had owned it for exactly 2 nights when someone robbed my old bike (smashing the security off it) It was found up the road in a bush when I assume the thieves realised it was trash. The VERY NEXT NIGHT I wake up to my disc lock alarm going off and run down stairs, my bike was on its right side. Now I know how physics work, it leans to the left so if the kick stand failed it would have fell left. The only explanation is the same thieves lifted my grom, set the alarm off, dropped it and ran. Since September all has been quite, I am now living in a state of such paranoia I have 250 pound of security on my grom and invested in a 700 pound secure 6 foot fence with gates. Then yesterday (today for my still) I came out of the corner shop jumped on my grom and started down the road, all of a sudden 2 men on a moped with no helmets came flying around the T junction and tried to ram me. I swerved out of the way and pinned my throttle, diving out into incoming traffic on a T junction making all the moving traffic slam on the brakes. I looked in my wing mirror and they were following me as fast as they could so I pinned the throttle and ran a cross junction red light doing 70 mph risking life and limb to get away. This may sound bad but as far as I was concerned I was letting this happen. And in doing so would they have a weapon? All I thought was its either trust in my skill as a motorbiker or risk being stabbed and robbed by thieves. I managed to get away and hid a few miles away for an hour and called the police. They advised me to go home but I was concerned they knew where I lived and may be waiting for me. But I risked it and went home, chained my bike up to high heaven, put the water proof cover on it (also black) and sat in my house with a hatchet waiting for the police to arrive. They later arrived and once a f**king gain basically said tough shit, nothing we can do. They have partial footage of the men trying to ram me but it is not clear enough to ID. (More on the void) when I originally got the bike I told the company I was keeping it indoors as stupid me thought I could lift the bike into the front door and keep it at the bottom of the stairs. This proved not possible instantly but as I had never had insurance before + the new found freedom of riding I simply did not think to update the insurers. They voided me for fraud, but I took it to the ombudsman who have just ruled in my favour as they agree it was clearly a silly mistake and not fraud. They also took into account that if I told them it would have only cost me 10 pound more a month which is clearly not enough money to justify fraud. I will hopefully be getting about 1800 pounds from the company. I guess my question is 1 what do you guys do and are you targeted to this degree? 2 What should I do? I am on the verge of packing in my beloved mode of transport and getting a boring car because my 24 year old heart can barely deal with this stress anymore. Before anyone suggests inside storage I live in a second floor flat above one other flat and have no where to store it inside. I have a ground anchor, oxford chain and lock. Oxford monster disc lock for the front wheel and a xena alarmed disc lock for the back wheel. What more can a man do? Thanks for reading this and I hope someone has some ideas.
