mister_eels Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi,Me and the missus have a Vespa each and have just discovered that someone has decided to steal both of our kickstart pedals. Has anyone else had the same thing happen and does anyone know what the point is as they are only worth a tenner?Never had to kickstart mine before anyway so no great loss, it's all just a bit annoying.

bigbadwolf Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The thieves are probably 'rockers'. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6028-vespa-kickstart-thieves-on-the-loose/#findComment-193525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I keep getting my cover nicked, at least one a month. Not sure what is happening to them.Mrs. Pierre's got an Oxford cover for hers, and it has two loopholes for the locks to go through. Not that they're particularly substantial, but maybe a bit of a deterrent.: P Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6028-vespa-kickstart-thieves-on-the-loose/#findComment-196566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
