benbeta23 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I feel so sorry for them at Trials UK, they are such great people & are always so good to you, They don't deserve it, It really annoys me when the people who rob bikes are lazy scums who can't be a***d to work, They just prefer to ruin other people's life's. Will keep a good eye out for the bikes, If I see or hear anything, Nige will be the first to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think clubs should do more to stop this, like ensure you have to be a member of the club and proof of frame and engine number of your bike. Its a long shot i know but having 5 bikes stolen, its not fair on the poor sods at the hands of these Turds. Hope you catch the B4st4rds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Obviously totally agree with all the comments made but surely a portion of the blame must be apportioned to the people who buy stolen goods, bikes whatever.

thespikeyone Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) how do you know if an unregistered off road bike is stolen or not? if it's a genuine mistake you can't blame them. not that i'm defending anyone, they all deserve to be hung by the balls and have their vital organs removed with a rusty spoon over a period of three months.

totalshell Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 i dont get it this could be sorted right here right now.. every competring bike would have to e registered with the amca/ acu you pay 15 quid supplt two photos and the bike gets a license you transfer ot whan you sell it you show it when you sign on at trials the acu runs the datbase.. stolen bikes turn up again.. this leave ths scum who use them as field bikes, but whose going to use a 2009 as a filed bike no one thier going to try and sell it to a competitor who then register it and bingo bike goes back to owner.. end of.. the soltion is in our own hands..

sam95 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Thats a brilliant thing but the thing is you just gotta just feel sorry for the person you buy the stolen bike couse i wouldent be happy if it was me , and thats a load of money just gone down the drain or less you can claim it back one way or another.

totalshell Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 YEH BUT YOU WOULD NT BUY A BIKE THAT DIDNT HAVE A LICENSE... NO MORE NABBED BIKES.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b101uk Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 YEH BUT YOU WOULD NT BUY A BIKE THAT DIDNT HAVE A LICENSE... NO MORE NABBED BIKES.. I would buy one because NOT everyone who buys new off-road bikes competes thus WOULD NEVER have registered it with the ACU/AMCA in the first place! Like most things like ID cards etc they only mainly penalise the innocent person by burdening them with extra hoops to jump threw. With respect to stolen new bikes, if you bin the frame with the VIN on and the relevant half of the crankcase with the engine number on then you have plenty of untraceable parts to sell, if you wanted to keep the engine complete its extremely easy to get the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilc0 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 If there newish bikes then they probaly wont even stay in the country where stolen. No matter how much we love our bikes there still only material objects,i believe carol nash will insure off road bike for fire and theft,i would rather have some notes back than a molested bike.
