Bad news Hilly.  Hope you get it back mate.  Then hope you find the little pricks that took it.  Obviously they haven't seen you or they would have thought twice

No good hilly but i did tell you to chain 414 to the door of the shed

Hilly,
that sucks big time, one of my biggest fears in life is to get your pride and joy stolen. The shitheads who do such a thing should be slowly put to death, I feel really sad for your daughter and family, it sounds like the hills are a really bike family and I hope this doesn't destroy that,
all the best mate,
Macca

Sorry to hear about that Hilly or this theft going on is making me nervous I'm going to keep the shed door shut from now on. My uncle told me some years ago that when he bought his first house back in the early 60s he walked around the house with a shoot gun pumping rounds into the ground until the coppers came  they had a chat for a while and then they left then he went to work up north for a while and told his wife not to tell anybody about were he was. by the time he came home the neighbourhood thought he was some bad ass prick he's never locked a door since and they still talk about him now .jimson

Hi Guys,
For what's it's worth. Take the front wheel out, not the rear. Dave Mac noted to take the back wheel out, but heres my take on it. Its real easy, and now light cause there's no back wheel, to lift a bike with one arm and steer with the other. Try doing that same task with the front wheel out. Back wheel out means one person can shift the bike, front wheel out requires two people. If you want a cable, and you dont mind that it is not plastic coated, find you local cable supplier and have one made to length. I had an old winch cable from my Patrol Warn winch cut into 3 peices and they fitted loops/eyes at each end for $10 a loop. The only way that you will get through one of those cables is with an angle grinder or an oxy cutter. I dont have an oxy in the garage and i have an isolation switch for the garage power inside the house so they luck out in both cases. Take plenty of pictures of all profiles and get the numbers written down. I can just about guarantee the 50% or more of us would not be able to provide a clear photo and the eng/frame numbers if needed. And last but not least get an alarm fitted to the area linked to flood lights.
Whilst i have not be stiffed, i see/hear at least 1 a week though my part time job at the bike shop and i get the shivers each time.

Keep the faith hilly. One stolden bike has returned hopefully your daughters bike will find its way home as well.

[yzhilly]

Well boys i would like thanks everyone for the tips and help ,even local constaburlary have been ringing me regularly and it has been posted through the peter stevens network  and local dealers thanks to Anthony at Powerhouse motorcycles but no luck yet . It was heartening to hear about pete's husky turning up so i keep the faith . thanks everyone.

I got my cable and locks through a bike shop. It would have to be 10 metres long . The plastic coating is a must as you cant help but drag the cable through the bikes.

[Hoony]

what was the damage 090 ?

[090]

For the life of me i cant remember. Must be the KRAFT setting in. I can make inquiries early next week.

[Hoony]

i better get onto it before i regret it.
