Kengo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just want to say a thanks to the thief that decided to steal the cover (Oxford all weather circa ?80) from my motorcycle last night and kindly leave in replacement a plastic version of the same product circa ?10 as compensation!

Kengo Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 they simply took a knife to slice through the fabric to remove the chain. its still shocks me that they left a cover in its place!

Caesi01 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 following the UKMTP (UK motorcycle theft protest)on facebook, it shows how motorcycle theft has gone the roof and new thefts are recorded on a daily basis.http://ukmtp.co.uk/ukmtp-manifesto/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/138998-theft-on-colwell-rd-left-behind-compensation/#findComment-1094508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 it's because motorikes are worth a lot of money - they get taken for parts and a very small % are recovered.

Caesi01 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 it's just the fact that one cannot even have something nice anymore without someone else wanting to take it instead of working for it.

singalto Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have just spotted an Oxford motorcycle cover on the corner of Landcroft and Pellatt rd so have been to collect it for safe keeping. What colour is yours? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/138998-theft-on-colwell-rd-left-behind-compensation/#findComment-1094566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
singalto Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Do you think the alternative cover might be a marker saying 'worth coming back for'?

PeckhamRose Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks for the UKMTP link above, I have joined. I am lucky in that I have a garage but Southwark could use more bike parks with rails for us to lock our bikes to. I alerted James Barber to the fact that the one on corner of Lordship Lane and the pub on Northcross Road is great but on Saturdays as it is closed to traffic there needs to be another nearby. We are never near the top of the list for funding though.

bargee99 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I did post a while go that I thought that some secure motor bike spaces should be provided within the yellow line zones that the council insist will be installed on every junction in Southwark. No one responded so I contacted James Barber. He thought that I meant parking on double yellows. When I clarified that I meant a motorbike bay within the 7.5 metres so that the desired sight lines were still maintained while also providing secure parking he kindly forwarded it to the appropriate council officer for consideration including offering some local funding for the secure anchors. I don't have a motorbike but I do think it could also alleviate some of the extra pressure on car parking which will be caused by the yellow lines. A motorbike can take up as much room as a car especially when it needs to be chained to a tree or lamp post to stop it being stolen. I'm not holding my breath that the council will see any sense in this proposal but I must say that James Barber has done whatever he can to help. Thank you James.
