Heard a bike starting up (but thinking it was another's Guzzi) and by chance was coming out of office, to see mine being ridden off out into Kings Road with two guys running behind - chased 'em and scrotes stupidly turned into Markham Square, dead end - once they realised and saw me plus two other passers-by coming, dropped bike and ran into central park area where the three of them got past the three of us - busted ignition barrel, steering lock and adjacent frame damage.

Jesus. Nice save! Pity you couldn't take the damage out on their hides. It's a horrible feeling watching your pride and joy ride away like that!

Yep, very different from coming back to an empty space - curious feeling chasing after your own bike but the adrenaline kicked in, just like after crashing.

More security needed, maybe a padlock and chain if folk can't be trusted to shut a gate. Glad you caught them before it disappeared for good

Found the scrote's helmet in the square - police say they will check DNA - really?

Yeah, hair is usually left in the helmet.

But the DNA on its own is not enough they would need CCTV or you to ID one of them cos they just say "I borrowed my mates helmet once but I'm not telling you who".

At least put a disk lock on the rear wheel m8. I'd make it an alarmed one as well to be save.

Had to leave it overnight, disc locked, in the garage due to flat battery - still here this morning - so will be lashing up ignition barrel to ride home.

Have full cctv coverage.

What's a 70k+ miles 990 SDR worth other than to me and, perhaps, KTM.......possible PR deal with KTM? Put me down for the prototype......

Will post footage once I've worked out how to to extract 10 mins from a 24hr 675 MB video file.

Alarm's another story,

Don't put any footage in the public domain just yet. It can bugger up any subsequent ID and undermine the prosecution case should the matter go to court. Police lose lots of jobs every year because of this. Hope they get them mate, DNA coupled with video evidence may be enough to hang them (well, give em a few community hours )

Might be time for a hidden in line power switch.

Make sure you can flip the switch without other notice.

Another attempt - this time parked in private courtyard outside of studio reception - 4" inch screw hammered into ignition switch and steering lock snapped but alarm sounded off at movement and scrote walks away - those you saw it happening, thought it was me..........................................

Anyone local in UK have spare ignition barrel and key that I can buy/borrow until new part from Austria arrives?

This happened to me a few years back and the next time I saw my bike was on Channel 4 news.. The best deterrent is a visible disk lock - since they want to be able to just pull the ignition out and ride away, some 'visible' security will put them off.
I wouldn't be too dismissive of the Police either - they caught the little sh*ts that nicked mine (admittedly only after cid got involved) and the bike was returned to me. I still own it now.
The 4 'little sh*ts' got between 4 and 5 years each - back in 1210 - so it could well be the same bunch? My bike was stolen around Aldwych (behind One Aldwych hotel to be precise..) area.
Link below - my bike is the one at the front, visible through the door.
