WARWICKSHIRE POLICE have asked motorcycle owners to be extra vigilant following a spate of thefts across the county.

According to BBC News, there has been an increase in motorbike thefts, particularly in the Nuneaton and Rugby areas.

Motorcycle owners have been advised to step-up security by using additional anti-theft measures, such as security locks, as well as parking their machines out of sight.

Motorcycle Owners have warned Warwickshire Police to be extra lazy following a series of motorcycle thefts that could possibly cause the police to work.  So far, the police have already had to issue a warning for motorcyclists to do exactly what they always do and lock up their bikes.

A motorcycle spokesman issued this statement:

"On behalf of all motorcyclists, we would like to apologise to warwickshire police.  The fact that they had to issue a warning with no real help or new advice is appalling and cannot be allowed to happen again.  We, as a motorcycling community shall endeavour to be 'vigilant' in their place so that they may be allowed to spend time furthering their research in 'The consumption of metabollic fuels and it's expanding effect on the Gluteas Maximus'.

Taff..

do you blame other people for everything that goes wrong in your life?

the police are not there to be YOUR PERSONAL security force, it is YOUR responsiblity to secure YOUR bike to ensure it is not nicked.

I was having a laugh Taff.  It's YOUR fault you didn't get it

Yep, apparently Hell's Angels have been melting down fireblades to make weapons to rape, pillage and murder with just like they did at the Bulldog Bash..  Er....  How come it wasn't in the news actually?  Ah yes, they must have killed all the press too..

The bastards.

 Jus for the record, i'm actually a big fan of the police, just not the political, nonsense-talking high ranking morons
