I'd be interested to know how Jack will find the particular Tmax he's looking for. It's most likely been torched anyway.

An understandable, if clueless, reaction to the epidemic levels of bike theft in London these days, which appears to have been greeted with total indifference by Plod.

Well you know what will happen in Britain if people try to defend their property or punish evil-doers. They'll feel the full force of the law. :lol:

The bike theft gang use stolen TMax's, its their favorite machine to push stolen bikes along with.

I was in London last friday to see a friend and 3 motorcyclists (separate instances) kept looking at me and seemed to make progress faster than they had been :lol:

Just ram anyone two-up on a T Max wearing joggers, hoodies and trainers. Simples!

That rider in the video was taking some risks, riding the wrong way down a dual carriageway. It's a pity he only fell off rather than ploughing into the front of a lorry.
