Festive Bike Thieves
Morning Everyone.
I'm feeling pretty tired this morning. I think someone tried to steal my motorbike last night. The alarm on it went off at some point last night, and as it's right outside my window it woke me up. I looked out of the window, but I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, so I went back to bed.
Shortly after I got up, my alarm went off again. This was unusual, cos normally it doesn't go off at all, let alone twice. So I looked out of the window again, and was surprised to see the thing lying on it's right hand side, with a small part sticking out into the road. I instantly came to the conclusion that someone had tried to have my monster away. This is because I park the bike right up against a wall and the pavement slopes towards the wall, meaning that if it's gonna fall anywhere, it will be on it's left hand side, into the wall.
I believe someone tried to nick it, the alarm went off, and it scared them off. Then out of spite came back later to knock it over as they weren't good skilled enough to get away with the beast.
I chucked on some clothes that were near to hand, and went outside to pick the bike up. Unfortunately I had filled it with petrol yesterday, so it was more than a little bit heavy.
Still, I'm hardcore, and even a lump of metal that weights five times as much as I do is no match for me. Chuck would be proud.
So I went back inside and got ready for work. I got my bike leathers on, and left the house. But the bloody bike wouldn't start. I don't know why, but it's not seeming good. Upon clicking the 'start' button, nothing happens. Nada. Zip. Not a thing stirred, not even a mouse.
I spent about 20 minutes checking the bike over, checking the plugs, looking for loose/cut wires, or any other obvious problems, but I couldn't find any. I checked for obvious problems, but could find none. Eventually, I came realise that I had absolutely no idea why the bike wasn't starting, and further procrastination would make me late for work.
I noticed that the clutch seemed odd, almost like it wasn't disengaging properly. But there was nothing I could really do about that either. I played with the adjustment on the clutch cable, and it seemed a bit better. But the thing sill wouldn't start. The starter motor doesn't even try. So I bump started the beast, and lo and behold, it started, and rode fine all the way to work.
However, once I got here, I tested, and the thing still won't start, so when work finishes, I'll have to bump start it again.
Grrr. It's annoying. It's only 2 days till Christmas, and I wanted to get some shopping done. Damn those festive thieves.
The real reason I'm so annoyed is that if they're gonna have a go at stealing it, the least they could do is actually steal it! What's the world coming to? Bloody retarded bike thieves. Can't even nick a motorcycle properly. If they'd done their job, I could have had a new motorbike within a couple of weeks!

Sorry to hear about the bike not getting stolen. I have a 1999 Chrysler Concorde with 135k miles on it that needs stealing badly as well. If only Chuck Norris was a criminal instead of a Texas Ranger. I can just see him giving the car a round house kick onto the back of his flatbed car stealing truck ninja stylee. In the case of your bike, he would just carry it like a football and run off down the street laughing maniacaly.
