DT125R ARCHIVE

And OP, you aren't the guy I think you are, are you? That KTM in your picture got nicked from your work place, you had forgotten your lock and scrotes pinched it?

If it's not you apologies, looks identical to that one though.

EDIT:

FOR FUCK SAKE it IS the same one.

Apologies for linking to another forum!

Not your year, is it buddy? I know it's your brother's KTM. 

my reg starts with pl03 also !

good luck getting it back fella, far away from me but ill keep an eye none the less

hey up mate good to see you made it here .. yes I am the guy on gumtree who you messaged .

and I am sure me and some of the lads will keep our eye out . good to try and remeber anything that may stand out that the common theif would not spot or change such as scratch dents - colord tape on wires - none standard bolts or screws you may have changed all little details that could still be spotted if stripped for parts or if its been used as a ringer even if the plastics have changed color ...

things that stand out is the front mud guard will have hols in where you mounted that bracket thing ..

this one cought my eye after your message but dont think its the same bike

 theifs are not always motevated by the cost cal dude  for some young chavs  it is the best bike in the world small 125 cc field bike that will put most their mates  110 dirts to shame  and be worth as much as 5-600 even as a field bike not to mention they get a v5 and stamps or even a v5 and frame they made them selfs around £1200  for 10 to 20 mins work cutting a couple locks off ...

Don't think they'll even bother selling it to be honest.

My shed got done over whilst we were in the house, chopped up the handlebars, and just took the bikes. Had the audacity to nick off of their own door step. They lived down the road! Seen one of them coming out and trying to start our bike up. It was a 125CC pit bike, they don't start up in gear with the clutch in like DT's do etc. So he couldn't fire it up, me and my brother ran it him, he just threw the bike on the ground. Not something you'd do if it was your own. Also had a ski mask and about three different hoodies on in September! 

The locks are extremely easy to cut off. Battery operated grinder, two minute job. After they had chopped the locks off, I would have looked for some where else to keep the bikes until the locks could be replaced. Or kept them in the house. They knew they were vulnerable as they had cut your locks off already. 

After such a long period of time, I bet the bike has been ran lean and ragged the tits out of. They demolished our chink off-roaders within 12 hours. Couldn't even align a rear wheel the dumb fucks.

That's my brothers KTM that got nicked November past year... About 4.5K of bike went there :(

 I take it that it wasn't recovered? 

Hope you have a better outcome with the DT buddy.

Anyone here live in or near Sheffield S5?

I've seen the bastard riding it along nethershire lane and down onto oaksfold road. Can't really go chasing the **** as much as want to a I don't have any other transport or anyone who could drive me round. I've phoned the coppers 3 times over the last 2 weeks telling them the exac same but they won't do **** all about it.

What choice do I have but sit on my arse an let the ****ers run rings at my expense?

yeah it sux big time  I spotted my brothers transalp after it was nicked I was on a kmx at the time and was so tempted to ride up to them and get it back but fact is there was at least 15 hoodies all a round it on a field and I know I would have lost the fight and my kmx also all I could do was watch . I did call some mates but at times like that you find out who your true mates realy are none would come to help .

best thing to do is try keeping tabs on locations its being used  try to narrow down to where it heads or could be stored then once you spot the house it go.s to call in the coppers [they may turn up 3 hrs later] or get as many mates as you can and go nock on the door .. 

can always make the police act a little faster with a couple lies chucked in  .. if you spot it on a field or street make a call from phone box saying you just seen two lads on a bla bla bla bike holding what looked like a gun or knife and you think they are looking to rob some one or something they will respond much faster and maybe with chopper support .

I did once try to sett up a uk bike theft support group where if a bike is nicked or spotted every biker in that city or area take to the streets in a group but no one was up for it as it screamed  vigilante takeing action ourselfs ...

Don't worry about spelling, it's easy to make out anyway.

Also if you're on your lonesome and aren't distinctively built, and they haven't seen you without a lid, chances are a group of them will be on the fields to rag it around.

The quicker you get it, the better. It'll be absolutely ragged into an inch of its life every time.

And the serials will be long gone, so getting it back via police is slim.

Hope they're filling the 2T up, but as they nicked it, I doubt it. :(

Just go there and be calm, and ask for a go on the bike, proceed to rag it home. Keep it in your house, empty the fluids before-hand. 

Think "Do I want to be beaten/stabbed over a bike?" before getting angry.

 If you have a day or two off work, do what I'd do. Go to the place they keep riding it, grab a big pole and block their path with it, they're dumb enough to ride into it, fuck 'em thieves anyway. I recommend bringing a friend or two, because you'll be fuming when you catch them. I'm usually laid back, but when I seen someone on my brothers bike I just lost it. 

Or alternatively just push them off of it. 

Chasing them in a car won't do much, you'll need someone with a motorbike, preferably an enduro one. Chase them through the fields until they run out of petrol or give up, which ever comes first. 

As for the police, they were useless when my shed got done over. Forensic officers didn't come around for three days, however they did tell me a bike was running around just down the road and they had numerous reports of it. Sure enough that's where we saw the scrote with our bike. 

I bet you £100 the kid riding it around that area is a local lad.

next time they're riding in the area, if they stick to the same place call the police and tell them, when they say they can't do **** all call them back 5-10 minutes later and say "nevermind, i bashed them in the face with a cricket bat and took it back".

Guaranteed they'll be there in 5 minutes lol

 The police are useless, they'll arrest him in this situation.

I'll tell you the reason the police don't bother, they know they ain't got a chance in catching them, nor charging them with the theft. Only handling stolen good, that's IF they have left the serials on, which I doubt if they've painted it.

Police didn't give two fucks, sent two officers around on the day, then we rang them telling them we got them back, they came around three days in a row asking names, in the end told them to more or less piss off and we weren't pressing charges. Didn't have a chance of pinning anything on them. They knew the law (the thieves) and knew how to avoid prosecution. 

But the thieves that stole my bikes are marked for life in my eyes, any of my bikes go missing they'll be the first to hear from me.
