This is a great service you guys provide. Its sad that the police are so disinterested in doing their jobs, but between you guys fixing the bike so thoroughly for the customer and this amazing volunteer service to recover the bikes, it restores some hope in humanity.

So the police weren't interested even though it had a tracker.😱 Disgraceful. Well done the lads who recovered it.👍

It's absolutely stunning :) Will be picking up my pimped out Scrambler 1200 XE this feb. Question, why did you go for another seat design. Different material on top, seems rougher.. was it an aesthetically driven choice or was it functional? I can imagine a rider sliding away on the leather used previously, and this rougher material holding you into place more..

@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles

that particular customer requested a thicker leather this time, he found with the amount of time spent on the bike he needed something a little more durable. Ended up creating the a really nice aesthetic with the grip ridges at the back, another good job from the boys at Viking Motorcycle Seats

If the police don’t actually do anything to address these types of crimes the population can genuinely ask why the F#*% are they there at all. Lawfully the police get their power from the consent of the people, if the people have no value for their actions then their authority is undermined.

I had a Honda CBR600F bike stolen in London and I then I found it 3-months later with a changed frame in Bikewise, Vauxhall in their showroom. I called the Police and they eventually found a Datatag in the seat. The bikeshop said you can only prove the seat is yours and nothing else. I went back to complain and they changed their story to say it was sold on commission and said the owner had come to take it back and gave me a bogus address. Police didn't care, DataTag didn't work and although I got paid out my insurance premiums rocketed and I took a haircut on the payout.... nice.

How much for TH hub Front&Rear ?

Bike and car theft should be capital punishment in all countries.

It’s a shame you weren’t able to recover the thieves’ spleens.

Not bike related but my ex brother in law bought and sold gold and silver scrap one of his contacts in London told him of a guy who had loads for sale so bring as much money as you can , got the train down his mate took him to the address as the drove past 3 guys with crash helmets on he got alarmed that there was no bikes but the mate said he was paranoid they had to walk past the lads as they got up to them on turned around and stuck a gun in his face took his bag and jacket the jacket contained hidden pockets full of cash , he lost £100,000+ went to the cops they said your mate did it and it happens every day down here basically nothing we can do about it , this was in the 80's .

You would have thought these successful enterprise's could be incorporated into modern policing? Imagine the box ticking the met would get back in return!

So many questions. Police not interested? That bike tracker guy simply walking into the thieves' den alone, unarmed, unarmored and is not even paid for it? O_O kudos to them though!

this is why I don't own a bike currently. Last one stolen before I moved so I am waiting to buy a house with a garage.

Would've appreciated if the music was turned down when you did the call. Had to take my headphones to hear what you're talking

Isn't it unfortunate that the tracker don't break their legs as well.

I understand the guy wanted his bike back, but it would of been a perfect opportunity to leave the bike there and wait for these thieves to return, so you can then bung them in the back of the van and have fun with them for a few weeks, if you catch my drift!

Perhaps a private company should be hired to "explain" why you don't steal other people's property to the thieves.

next time can you do the talking without the background music and this would have been alot better

When my bike went, we searched everywhere and we found the bike and the thieves and told the police what we'd found. Police went and told the thieves we'd found them and were a threat to them, gave them a chance to get rid of it and flee. I wasn't being a threat. If the police had done their jobs and arrested the thieves then there was no need for anyone to be a threat. Now I wouldn't tell the police until I'd either completed the recovery or given up looking, their usefulness has been reduced to "issuer of crime numbers for insurance claims".

Police not interested? Is that the new norm in UK - or was it always like that?
