hugh_b Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 sorry to hear that. I hope something turns up. I'll keep my eyes peeled down here and on ebay. Mine is for sale on here and ebay too, have you had any one enquire about the bike or just sheer coincidence do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 its a theory , been going on for a few years now, if you look through the stolen bike forum tong creeps up all to often. I think bikes are stolen to order, if they're at the trial it doesnt matter if your in a van, the bike is already spotted. I live in epworth not far from you, and im 99.9999% we were followed. its only 45mins. I could be wrong , but i think tong is the "spotting ground" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Another victim of Tong no doubt. Three riders I know have had top quality bikes stolen shortly after riding their Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 mine was taken the day after riding at tong, back in the days when i used a bike rack jsp but if the thieves are taking part at the trial/ spectating etc. bike rack, trailer, van,horse box, it doesnt matter , when they watch it loaded up they know what to follow.

smalley250 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 It's definatly linked to riding at tong as Gregs went after riding at tong as did two other of me mates n another rider I know. It's not club related more venue as one was an enduro and different clubs. Maybe they watch you load the bike up and take your reg no then trace it or follow you? Sickening. Hope you get them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timp Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm just looking at improving my security. Can you tell from the chain how they cut through it. I hear that they use plumbers freezing aerosol to make the chain brittle and just hit it sometimes. I feel now that mechanical methods of security are essential in that they slow them down but alarms are the only real way of stopping them. I am looking at an alarm that will ring my phone when activated. Also there are alarms that activate a smoke generator and fill your garage in seconds. I feel it is better to have 2 alarms installed that operate in different ways. Last time I had an attempted burglary the alarm stopped them. They came the next night and cut the alarm wires but the tamper set the alarm off again. As always it's better doing preventative measures before the worst happens but most of us leave it till after. (I will look at a better system today)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sorry to hear this :-( Timely warning about Tong, we should be vigilant & looks like a definite connection ( I've heard of Enduro bikes too) Maybe some strong words with the owners of Tong to stamp it out Never been myself & won't be going now - even for a trial ( much prefer farm & moor trials venues anyway) Hope your insurance company pays you out for both Beta's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 johnny what would you suggest the owners of tong do ? these bikes where taken after a orginised trial which is difficult to police and seperate friends and family of riders from theifing scum jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
