| Sorry to hear that. You haven't been with us long. Can you not get another SW with the insurance payout? It's sad that we all have to live with the constant thought of our bike being nicked. It's rife in this area. |

| It seems that it's scooters that are being targeted round here, my neighbour has a harley davidson and that wasn't touched.
Would love to get hold of the **** who took it. |

| It's simple enough to see why maxi scooters appeal to thieving scrotes, they're twist n' go. No clutch or gearbox to learn, that's why you see almost all Deliveroo or Just Eat delivery riders on a 125 scooter with L plates.
A lot of Brit riders went down that road with an Auto Only Licence rather than learn on a geared motorcycle in the time honoured tradition. The lines are are rather blurred now, since Honda introduced DCT transmissions. |

| Very sorry to hear that. It seems that here in the US, scooter theft is MUCH higher in college towns. Maybe due to the "shifting"? I don't know. Good luck. |

| So sad to hear! Best of luck in the future. Hopefully they catch the Bass Feces who did this. |
