A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)
Discussion
Went and did an enduro practice day today with MotorsportTom, my first time doing any proper off-road really, done some green lanes but that was about it.
Cracking day, feeling it now though, can imagine tomorrow is going to be worse! Swapped bikes for half a lap, toms KTM is an awesome little bike, I did manage to crash it though
Hopefully some more exciting pictures uploaded later!

Was a great day! Weather couldn't have been better for this time of year and the track ended up being pretty decent after all the loose stuff had gone.

Off-road bikes are meant to be crashed and it saved me doing it so thanks
Keep an eye on the track n trail facebook page as Belinda (the photographer) usually sticks the photos on there

This was the sight which greeted me this morning
Luckily the bikes weren't touched, nothing taken at all. My guess is that it was kids, otherwise surely things would have been gone? There are loads of tools, a few sets of alloys, 3 bikes and god knows what else in there!!
Wow you really were lucky. I had a garage door like this and other than the alarm and cameras I only had one of those T Bars on the bottom. I see a spat of break-ins so decided to get a more robust setupLuckily the bikes weren't touched, nothing taken at all. My guess is that it was kids, otherwise surely things would have been gone?

Maybe a strange way of warning you how easy it is to open and that you need to up the security there

Ooof.. not what you want to hear, and what you probably know, but, that's a magistrates job, 4-6 points or a small ban.
Bit of a drama queen guess there mate, the internet is full of opinions though . The reality has arrived in the post today just so you no for future reference . Again top marks for there quick response in supplying my fixed penalty offer of 3 points and 100 squid fine, I think I might contest it

It'll do mate, to be honest with my luck it could of been worse, its a slightly bizarre set of circumstances that got me those point though, driving back from taking the lad to the mx track I decided to drive home a different way, 1st time in 5 years , then I decided to speed in my van on a road I never speed on After all that some idiot I don't like speaking to the week before warned me of the new stealth mobile camera vans hiding on the a610 , obviously I didn't listen
To top it all off I turn 51 in march and have had to come to the conclusion I cannot cook my microwave food any more without wearing pound shop reading glasses for cooking instruction

Bit of a late reply but you're right, it's the wake up call I needed. The bikes are now under armed guard in the nearby barracks until I get some security sorted!!!! There's no power in the garage so I've been looking at wireless PIR alarms with a SIM card along with some physical security (ground anchor maybe?)Maybe a strange way of warning you how easy it is to open and that you need to up the security there

Yep that would work and cost £5 a month to keep the sim active. I did this with a GPS and tbh only had to top up every 3 monthsAlso if you can get to the roof you can get solar panels for dirt cheap off fleabay. I have a box trailer I use for racing with a leisure battery, a 2000w inverter and a 22w solar panel on the roof. The solar panel does more than enough to trickle charge the battery and the inverter means I have alot of power when need be but 240v at any time
Plus alot of these alarms etc can run on 12v which is friendly on the battery drain. Im no wiz kid with this stuff I had to learn as I went along but it certainly worked for me
