I have always had a policy, that, on a monday morning if a soldier is in the sh-t from the weekend, he should be stood outside my office at 0800hrs ready to confess to the crime and take the punishment.
If not and I find out secound hand, then I rip his/her head of and Sh-t down their neck from a great height and they go staight to the pockie (Jail) for some corrective training.
I can make myself avalable when required.
Aye
The RSM
I knew a RSM, nicest bloke you could wish to meet, nobody ever argued with him, even when he retired. I wonder why ?
In road racing, lack of engine / frame no's get you kicked out. The police, I'm told got to race meeting in civvies and admire the bike in the car parks etc. Apparently with some success.
Unfortunately, if a bike is stolen as a donor of internal mechanical parts its not so easy. Maybe wiring and sealing motors, with receipts for repair parts might make a difference.
None of this helps trials I know, but the less attractive these sorts of thefts become, maybe they will move on to something else.
I was repairing a window at a flat that had been broken into a few weeks ago, nothing they thought had been taken, very little mess. The thieves were not interested in i-pods etc, only lap tops. Sat navs are also desirable, you have been warned.
As GrahamJayzee says, it wont stop joyriders, and a new generation is born with monotonous regularity. Edinburgh does have a center where offenders work on bikes, repairing, building etc. Unfortunately this is almost a reward for stealing, though better than continuing to offend.
Apparently, alot of offenders stop when they reach 16, and can be held to account. This may also be down to female distractions etc.
Maybe the government should insist that all bikes are fitted with one of those devices that can be activated when its stolen, some Police cars are fitted with tracking devises. I believe that JCB fit tracker as standard to their machines.
Interesting, people complaining about the aesthetics of this frame compared to the likes of Sherco, and Neo is posting that his Sherco frame keeps cracking.
Give it a chance. I wouldn't lump it in with the Chinese crap. I don't know if you guys get their products on that side of the pond, but here in the US their bikes are a joke, getting a bit better but a joke non the less.
I was speaking to a local bike repair business and they think Chinese bikes are fantastic ! Been keeping them busy since they appeared.
