You don't see this at the local BMW dealer for an s1000rr.

The guy doing the pushing is an old biking mate of mine from another forum. Adrian Cousins. Haven't seen him for a few years and now this!

Ha ha, I like the innocent pedestrian walking by near the curb getting smacked and falling down.

Gizmo1199 · September 12th, 2012, 02:45 PM

A few of the dealers in the area have had bikes nicked by these scooter scumbags, inmoto had an rsv4 nicked just before I walked in months ago. I believe dobles were done as well.

But isn't kind of conspicuous pushing a 400 pound ducati down the street?

kensteele · September 12th, 2012, 03:29 PM

you wonder why they don't put wheel locks on the expensive bikes nearest the public.

Where did it happen (which city?)?

No Trellis · September 12th, 2012, 07:59 PM

That is pretty daring of this group to do such things in broad daylight. How far are they gonna push those bikes. May be they have something bigger close by to haul them off. The guy in the white shirt saved the day...

The gang don't look armed to me...? What a bunch of muppets,(on the scooters!) at least there is good CCTV for the Police to research... Good effort from the staff!

Not only CCTV but potential prints on the bar thrown at the staff, Not clever if you are a repeat offender.

The only thing that would make this video better is some Benny Hill music

Haha.

From what I gather... the dudes that are pushing out the bikes get towed away by the guys on the scooters.

They tow the bikes to a truck close by and they are gone.

It sucks they all got away... I bet they have done this a few times and gotten away with some brand new bikes.

I don't think the guys that get the new HP4 will see that (lack of thief appeal) as a negative...just saying. I've always felt it's better to be rich than famous, but that's just me.
