Your Bike WILL be Stolen.

[@Steveyc78]

BaronVonGrumble my bike WAS stolen! An MT10 but thankfully it was found a week later mainly intact! Thieving fuckers!!

[@apollokre1d]

Mate I've had two bikes stolen in London. One was my S1000RR which had a tracker fitted along with Almax chains. I now have a hidden engine kill switch installed. This will at least stop them bypassing BMW's security ignition system which is clearly not very good given the CCTV cameras caught them riding it away.

[@neilhuband995]

BaronVonGrumble I always thought the speed limit was 10% +3mph. Like 36 in a 30 was your maximum, or 58 in a 50. I'm sure you don't need the maths lesson though. Watched your videos for ages mate, keep it up. (the videos that is) 😉

[@neilhuband995]

Kiran Reid where did you put your kill switch? Because, you know, I have the same bike, yeah, and I'm gonna do the same to mine. 🤔

[@carnafillian113]

Petition to organize a bait bike operation and get a couple cops to head it. If bikes get stolen so often, they'll catch them this way in no time. Get the word out for riders around london to donate some cash to pay for the bait bikes and equipment. Then you do half the work, and all that would be required at that point would be for the police to do their damn job.

[@ZacharyCox]

So I see a new series, BarronTheVigilante - sets up bikes waiting for them to get nicked, then comes out a swinging taking down crooks 1 kneecap at a time.

[@Roadified]

Same thing in Denmark. Yesterday 5 scums tried to hijack my KTM while I was on it. 10 seconds later two police cars stopped me and said not to drive two on a motorcycle since gangs does the shootings like that "here". I told them that few hundred meters just now I almost lost the bike. They did nothing, refused to even drive for 5 seconds. So police bother and stop honest people while letting scumbags do whatever they like...

[@stgeorge6947]

Roadified what country were the thieves from my friend?. Glad your didn't loose the bike

[@Toisestars619]

Yeah did you stop and ask them what country they were from? Jesus Christ.

They were "directly from the boat".

[@tedmaulz]

There is no money to be made for the state in genuine crime but shit loads in doing you for 23mph in the new 20mph zones etc and when the police say they haven't got the resources for reviewing CCTV for theft etc, they will always have the resources when there is easy revenue to be extracted from public they are now excepting and processing video from the general public to fine people for traffic offences, remember all their directives come from government. Did you know the police and courts are a registered business? and the most important part is that crime actually works for the state because it gives them the justification to legislate new 'laws' that of course will only really effect the law abiding citizen, a justification of control and control is what its all about.

[@poulan9]

They've got plenty of time to police horrible tweets on Twitter though. UK police are a joke.

[@joebearman620]

It’s the same with fucking parking tickets, oooo you were sat here for a minute too long... but no one does shit if the bikes nicked when you’re parked legally 👍👍

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

"Maybe you should lock it up." Maybe women should cover up to avoid rape too, then? The logic is horrendous.

[@smokeybarr]

Funnily enough that is also the case across many areas of London.

[@readen3265]

Bruh..

[@MEESTA187]

Alf Torp It does make sense, nudity arouses mind sexually right? Police cant look after your bike all day long they have a budget. Bikes are just more vulnerable due to their mobility. Why still a Telephone when there is a mobile phone? Nonetheless law enforcers need impose great charges on motor-vehicle theft. And why DAFUQ will still don't have a bike sound alarm?

[@Erstwhile.Freeman]

Alf Torp cover up that BMW too, its too sexy for the mean streets of London! I totally agree with you. Really though, women can walk around in underwear and you can leave your keys in your bike to take. You are not the one committing a crime, those scumbags are. The Police message should be to the criminals saying they will cut your wanker off if you steal a bike or a woman!

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Mr TriickZ If that is all it takes for you to get "aroused" I suggest you see a professional and get your hormones under control.

[@polarweis]

You have those special legg protection pants that contain like 1 million small nylon wires that when you accidently hit your legg with a chainsaw it wil clog up the chain. Maybe somebody should make some sort of sleeve filled with those wires and put them around chain locks. So when somebody tries to saw your chain of the wires get caught in their grinder and it wil not cut anymore..

[@thejtager]

polarweis nice train of thought but grinders and chainsaw don't work in the same way, so it wouldn't work unfortunately

[@polarweis]

thejtager or make it out of magnesium. Give them some heat:)

[@fermitupoupon1754]

I have one of those ballistic fibre sleeves on my chain, but mostly because it'll save the powdercoat on my wheels and it says "FUCK OFF JUNKIE" on it.

[@johnduheaume6650]

Yes it's long fibres, any long fibres relatively loose will clog a chainsaw or disc cutter if there's enough, you could keep clearing it and cut through eventually but it slows the theft, no theft is 100% preventable, only delayable.

[@SuperTechno2012]

[@carnafillian113]

All they have to do is assign a few cops/detectives to work with some bait bikes and in a few months they'll stop this crime ring and find the warehouses where they take the bikes. Boom. Isn't that a proper solution? Why the fuck don't they do that?

[@Babtridge]

carnafillian113 they do exactly that, but the police are so under funded and staffed that they simply can't keep up with the volume of thefts in London alone

[@georgeqzzy1468]

i know of two boys who steal mopeds and its not done by crime rings. it done by young kids looking for an adrenaline rush. im not too good with bikes but i believe it was a PCX or something like that and he was selling it for £50. the kids are selling it so cheap that they are literally just disposable bikes for thieves to commit crimes on and get away with it

[@mintyvision8464]

carnafillian113 there is over 8.5 million people in London, and 31 thousand police officers. Bike theft and bike enabled crime is a huge issue that would take more than just a few officers. There needs to be more secure parking with better security measures, more powers for police and more support for them so that they can go after offenders and bike owners also need to be more sensible. So many bikes that get nicked are left without any disc or chain lock at all. Trackers are also a great idea but few seem to use them. They should be standard on higher end bikes. Manufacturers should be building more security features into the bikes.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

george QZZY Why aren't they caught when they try to sell it?

[@georgeqzzy1468]

Cerebral Method why aren't all drugs dealers caught when trying to sell... it's impossible to stop it. From what I've been told they normally only sell to mates or mates of mates.

[@paulageorgia7239]

Had my mk 3 golf GTi parked outside a friend's house on a main road in Manchester once. Just came back from a long drive and forgot to take my sat nav out of the car. No more than 5 mins passes and I hear the window go through, I run outside to see some scroat running down the road with my sat nav. I start the car n chase the cunt, seen him turn left so I take the left turn and he's gone, I jump out and go into the back garden of the first house on the street to look for him, no joy. As I'm walking out the back the little prick comes out the front door and walks into the back garden with my sat nav in hand. He got what he deserved and I got my sat nav. The stupid bastard lived 2 doors away from my friend's house and it was his brothers garden he ran into when running off with my property. I seen a brand new Samsung phone on somebody's garden step once with nobody around to stop me picking it up and walking off with it but that didn't even enter my mind, I knocked on the front door and gave the phone to the girl that lived their. The point is that some people are just scum with no morals.

[@billness2635]

Of my 8 week riding tour through Europe and Morocco, 2 weeks were in the UK. I brought my bike from the US where my state has a yellow plate, but much smaller than U.K. plates. I didn't worry about speed cameras, nor average speeds. When I picked up my bike at Heathrow, I just happened to talk with a few coppers who agreed that your system wouldn't be able to work out how to send me tickets. Just don't get pulled over and you're good! BTW, I avoided London, Paris, Berlin, Rotterdam, Madrid and Nice. I had to go to Toulouse for parts though from damage incurred in Morocco.

[@stgeorge6947]

minihjalte exactly what happened to my flat mate. That's always been my number one concern. You gotta get a big chain and lock it to fixed objects like lamp posts. And put a bike cover on it so no one can see shit. Chuck a couple disk brakes on too they're cheap as fuck.

[@JLchevz]

yeah my mistake was thinking it was safe inside so I didnt chain it to a fixed object. lol

[@CynterDOW]

Dont know how about in London Baron but in Manchester average speed cameras ate facing the front of the vehicle therefore it doesn't work on motorbikes as it cannot read your reg, I am always doing 70-80 in a 50 average zone on motorway and never had an issue

[@watfordman]

Paweł Skw They can vary in London to either front or back. Or both in some instances : (

[@smegleful]

2:58 These new bastards on the A3 face the rear, the amount of people locally caught already is huge

[@Lister_of_Smeg]

SkeletalBob so how does that work then? The camera needs to bounce a signal off the vehicle back to the camera twice to measure the difference and calculate the speed. If the vehicle is moving away when the first signal is sent then it could be out of range for the second signal - which sounds like a challenge to me!

[@CynterDOW]

I dont know guys, maybe youre right, I personally never seen one facing rear of the vehicle :)

[@SpartanAirsofter98]

The speed cameras take two pictures in rapid succession and use the difference travelled in-between to work out the vehicles speed. I believe to evade this you need to do a minimum of 180mph (though newer cameras may use different technology)

[@AdjrianNickelodeon]

London sounds like a 3rd world country over here in Australian media. You guys are catching up with the Yanks :O

[@GarageSupra]

The problem is their population is so much higher and in a smaller space compared to here. We still get bullshit crime like this but only in small pockets around the country where there is high population density in low socio-economic areas so we never hear about it. Caboolture in north Brisbane is a prime example as well as areas of logan and Ipswich. Im not too sure about other states but I know Sunshine in Melbourne is pretty bad and blacktown in NSW

[@Theshortclipguy]

I'm sorry, but what about the comment concerning the Yanks? Are you referring to America and, if you are, are you referring to vehicle and bike theft in America or how America is portrayed in the Aussie media? Honestly curious and, do you guys have theft like this in big cities out there?

[@timbarry5080]

Baron you are awesome! Thank you for your intelligence and humor. Your "vlogs" are a breath of fresh air and a welcome break from the other motorcycle videos I've been trudging through on youtube

It's stupid ... If they were stealing cars at the same rate they were stealing bikes there would be uproar hell it would probably get to parliament but because It's bikes no one seems to care

[@Richona]

I work in a police control room. we receive 99% more calls regarding cars being stolen than bikes. But when bikes are stolen they're not treated with as much urgency as stolen cars, mainly because of how they can be used in a weapon and by organised crime groups.

[@Twinpot1962]

Just catching up on old vids after pranging my bike and healing. BEMOTO are beyond brilliant. I have nothing but praise for them, after making my claim a very speedy and painless process. New SDR gets delivered Friday...woohoo

[@punkorollo69lyon]

I can understand thieves logic, why would you not steal some bikes when you risk virtually nothing? We have the same problem is France. Regular bikers (AKA guys who actually afford and care abour their bikes) are being harassed by the police and charged huge premium by their insurance while the thieves are driving stolen bike without helmets and doing rodeos without any issue. If they are arrested they have no insurance, no driving licence and no money (at least on paper haha). Why would you even look for work when you can make a couple grand per week while having fun? This double standard is driving me insane.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

sdfsfsf this is the heart of the issue for me, and SO many other issues...

[@Jiggsteruk]

[@Funky_Geek]

Re: specs cameras, if you get bored let a vehicle that's sticking to the limit go ahead of you s fair bit, then see how fast you can catch up with it whilst within the av speed check zone. As you're still technically within the average speed there's no worry about getting done. It works and other motorists will think you are mental.

[@AmjadAliSyd]

mine got stolen 4 days back it was a yamaha r15 (150cc) India

[@stevefaust3532]

Average speed camera is 10% +2 (57mph). Although riding into London towards Canary Wharf, the cameras there are facing towards, so can go at any speed down there.

[@AJHDuk]

The 50 average limit on the A3 stops after a few mile or so, there's around 3 poles, there's isn't an average camera after the first old school speed camera ... hope that makes sense.

[@Bricktop1967]

As usual in the UK, the punishment never fits the crime. I am always staggered at the end of our Fly on the wall Police programs we have on the TV (of which we have many) what poxy fines, suspended sentances, and community orders are handed out for quite serious offences. The Judges handing down these sentences need a properly good kick in the bollox (or twat) and start dishing out proper, relevant punishments to the Scumbags.

[@JimBiddle.]

I think it was in another Baron rant but a bike thief gets done for £180,000 worth of stolen bikes (that they know about) and gets a 6 month suspended sentence. Biker hoists a little minger, BOOM, 1 year in prison. WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.

[@casey360360]

There is something to be said about our laws here in the US. We've had issues with motorcycle theft, I started carrying my 9mm Kurz pistol externally while on my bike, it magically is left untouched anywhere I go, and I have zero issues with riding through the really bad areas of where I work. On the other hand, it does welcome violent situations with those who are better armed and more motivated to steal.

[@marsh8417]

Baron, as you pointed out; Police hands are tied. Current policy means they’re not protected by the law if the little wankers get hurt. The only way anything ever changes is if there is money/votes in it. What needs to happen is that the public in large numbers demand that Police Pursuit policy is changed to protect the police and the victims, not the suspects. They must be allowed to use the training they have been given without being prosecuted for trying to do their jobs. Second, the public need to demand that the sanctions are tightened against bike thieves so they can expect a custodial sentence if caught. This is unlikely to change whilst the prisons are overcrowded however. Third, failing all that we should bring back the stocks and publicly flog the little fuckers when caught...pipe dream I know...

[@Vandragorax]

Firstly yes, we need to stop valuing the human rights of thieves and criminals above the human rights of the potential victims and police force. They already caused a crime and are escaping? Chase them no matter what, if they kill themselves in the process then great one less criminal on the streets. Secondly, you're also right that prisons are over crowded but there is never a need for capital punishment (or flogging etc.). There are currently not enough public service sentences being handed out. They can work menial tasks for the benefit of society to work out their punishment, not get an easy life inside a cell full of TVs and gyms.

[@guvnor982]

Baron there are only the 2 average speed cameras there. When you go under the hook roundabout, you are free to speed up.

[@motorhead4870]

The duck tour in Liverpool, sank in the Mersey with all the passengers on it

[@m4d_al3x]

Lol

[@MattNo5]

With regards to speed camera tolerances, I believe you get a 2mph leniency plus an additional 10% - the 10% constitutes inaccuracies in the vehicle that can occur as a result of different conditions. Ie if your vehicles speedo calc baseline is based on healthy tyres of a specific size and tyre spec (manufacturer dependant) ... but the tyres are more worn the reading the vehicle has on the speedo can be inaccurate. Also can be totally skewed because of heat levels and the expansion/contraction of air in the tyre and rubber.

[@Camberwell86]

More scooters go because they're easier to hotwire and any old mug can ride them, just twist-and-go with two brake levers. Proper bikes are harder to get started and you need to know how to engage clutch, select gear, all that shit and not stall it when you're getting chased. You've got to be an actual rider to consider nicking one. Unless you're one of those gangs who simply grinds through the chain and throws it into a van to be taken far far away.

The police will be out in force to crack down on evil nazi's beating up poor downtrodden economic migrants and kids out having fun with their mates.

[@kalebbarant1990]

[@AlexTrubinDesign]

Same thing in NYC, I had 2 motorcycles stolen in the last 3 years. I had one stolen in downtown in front of government building. My other one was outside my house I had a cover on and I had it chained up to a pole and my car. Thieves cut 2 kryptonyte chains and lifted it with a disk-lock. Nothing is done about bike theft. and now my boy got his new MT09 stolen too. Its ridiculous.

[@ottomondo1368]

All valid points. Your suspicion that things are dramatically different in the US is somewhat misplaced. There is a tremendous leniency toward "under represented minorities", under-represented in the sense of managing to graduate from secondary school, in the legal system. There is a resurgence of much of the petty crime that hamstrung US cities in the 1960s to early 1990s. Of course, now that the crime rates are down, there are grumblings that the same minorities are over-represented in the general prison population. Maybe cutting off hands is the answer. I would certainly take a finger off of a tagger for the first offense and each successive.

Love the rantage! as for BeMoto, They really are awesome, great customer service when I started the policy last year and changed bike in March. Top class!

[@lanesplitter8723]

Baron! I speed down that average speed camera section at 70sh most weekends... never had an issue, don't worry. Doesn't seem to pick up bikes...

[@jrh5544]

lanesplitter87 I did 85 down it and no problem

[@Weeem]

My insurance went up about 30% this year, despite another year of no-claims and uneventful riding.

[@madmax8889]

Had a close call myself when this all started happening but didn't have a camera at that point on my helmet. Tried using Bemoto insurance but was still ridiculous pricing (yes I live in London) and the insurance quotes have just gone through the roof. Might not be able to insure the Versys next year as over a grand for insurance is ridiculous

[@motodevcam]

Yes Baron!!!!!! This is why I subscribed 1 million years ago! A good old fashioned Baron rant! (You're bang right too!)

[@crotchrocket3000]

There's only 3 avg speed cameras on the A3 you can nail it again from the hook underpass 👍

[@alexmcgrath1283]

Had my S1000RR stolen on New Year's Eve in London...got it back, cracked frame, claimed on insurance, fixed and beautiful. Now can't insure it :(

[@SpikeTrippy]

Had my R6 & month old RSV4 parked outside my apartment building in different spots. Thieves got my R6, but couldnt get the RSV4, I guess because I had 2 disc locks on it and it weighs 1,000 lbs. Anyway, I now park the Ape in my 10th floor apartment, and the police found my R6 a month later. So its not always bad. But I do need a house with a garage ASAP.

[@adamzabinski9486]

Good old Barron and his rants. Been waiting for a good rant on here to be honest. This one is legit tho! I had my Speed triple stolen from me during my first visit in London. Parked it, chained it + disc lock. Few hours later it was gone!

[@kiwiandyt123]

Totally agree about those average speed cams - couldn't believe how many of them there are these days. Not only do they induce mind-numbing (and potentially deadly) boredom but they also put vehicles alongside each other for much longer, increasing the time when some muppet can decide to change lane into you without thinking.

[@sun_dreaming]

What a trip, I had an old Yamaha TT600 stolen this morning. They pushed it a few blocks and dumped it on the rear brake pedal, locking up the tire. I got very lucky!

[@jmroper67]

Just watched this and went to the locked compound under my apartment where my bike WAS parked......Almax chain cut in half and no Tiger 800 anymore.......it's absolutely ridiculous

[@barbieandbellaadventuresby9134]

Baron, It's the same with push bike theft in London. All you get from the Police is a crime number so you can claim on your insurance. I even found mine on Ebay a week later. I phoned the investigating officer to tell him and he said it would take too long to get the details from Ebay and as the bike was now technically owned by the insurance company "then if I wasn't bothered then nor was he" Yes he actually said that. Total waste of space.

[@simonhool3073]

I've been on the London duck tours. They are great! They do still go on the Thames.

[@Csirkefoga]

I’ve heard the Italians do the following on average speed sections: 1. they learn what section is being measured. 2. they check if there’s a cafe on the section. 3 if yes, they take out their Ferraris, and do 200mph, then stop for a coffee within that section!! :)))) only thing to watch is how long You’re staying in the cafe

[@celotape14]

I agree with you good sir, when I stayed in the London area I had my push bike stolen (of high sentimental value) I had cctv of the boy leaving his house and then me coming out of the front with the time frame fitting perfectly and even had previous cctv of the same kid breaking open the charity boxes in the church next door the previous week. All was deemed circumstantual evidence as he was not seen taking the bike on cctv. I have also chased off two kids trying to steal my then new 125cc bike 2 weeks after I got it, the police did much better this time with dogs and such but no luck in capture. It's the cutting of officers, so lesser crimes have to be pushed back. But if you stop people from breaking windows then everyone is safer.

[@icecreamgecko]

This is an upload schedule that I can live with. Keep it up Baron!

[@TshepoMotaungreallife]

Baron. I've been sub for the longest time I absolutely love your content from cars to bikes I absolutely enjoy it all keep it up!

[@CosmasNDamian]

They should take the "average speed cameras" and position them in the car parks above the motorcycle parking areas.

[@topbomber1]

Be careful with the camera's,....legally you can be done for just 1mph over the speed limit....the 10% is up to the local council/police wether they allow that leeway or not. (Found that info out on my speed awareness course). Also BeMoto were very good to me, would definately recommend them.

[@nickfenton3252]

Cheer Top Bomber :)

[@PBRStreetGang68]

He's back....the baron at his best, pissed off and angry. I fooking love these videos. It had everything, waterproof jeans, amphibious vehicles for the dry land, disempowerment, catching the eye of a lady boy, cameras more annoying than Richard the hamster Hammond and mithical 👮. I haven't seen a police (that's not garding an embassy) for years. The ones on telly are probably just actors. Lovely stuff........keep it up 😵

[@Beagleman1996]

How's this for an idea; you fit your bike with a finger-print sensor, and if that sensor detects that the bike is being moved without the sensor being activated first (a.k.a, it's being stolen), a large pair of metal pincers concealed in the frame shoot out and grab whatever genitalia the thief may have, excruciatingly hard?

[@n22pdf]

BvG worth checking out the Oxford XA14 disk lock with alarm.. pretty beefy bit of kit and would take a while to remove with an angle ginder. i know its not going to stop everyone but maybe another deterant along with a chain etc. Love the SuperDuke own one to :) I hate thieves burn the lot of em

[@chazphot]

Perfect video to watch before I start commuting to London in January...

[@antisocialmotorist6909]

Average speed cameras and "variable" speed cameras are becoming a nightmare on the motorways. You see so many phone users, when the speed drops from 70+ to 50 because of the variable speed limits the phones come out.

[@KristianKumpula]

The culture of bike theft over there is absolutely baffling. It's nothing like that where I'm from. I've never had my bike stolen or heard about someone else's bike having been stolen around here.

[@SBarbati]

I used to park my street triple at one of the Q car parks; the one in Knightsbridge and believe it or not the bike would be safer outside on the street as someone reversed it it and broke a lot of the fairings and in other occasion some idiot tried to steel it inside the car park!! They have no staffs in the car park and the cameras do not work. The Police said to me they can do nothing and I should try to put more security devices as it is like this all around London. So annoying.

[@mk2_wagon]

My friends bike was chained by the rear wheel with a disk lock on the front the bike was stolen and recovered and we was told every day it was in there lock up he would be charged £80 per day. The two people were let off with a slap on the wrist

[@SupermotoZach]

I got done going 1MPH over the 10% ... Average speed cameras. I was just not paying much attention you take your eyes off the Speedo for two minutes and you get clocked for it.

[@jamesmoore1565]

Top vid Chris, good to hear you having a good old fashioned rant once again!

[@nubdoprendergast9401]

Do forward facing Average Speed Bananas get bikes? No numbo plate on the front? I recently rocketed up the A9 in Scotland with Average Speed Bananas a plenty and I was definitely exceeding the speed limit by quite a bit in certain places, yet no ticket. Will probably get one through the post now as I have confessed?

[@nubdoprendergast9401]

Indeed, a colloquialism of 'number plate' or registration.

[@cameronnn6582]

Didn't know you lived in Farnham. i live there too, it's good to see locals big on youtube

[@georgemgraham]

Watched this video last night, today I was chased by motorbike thieves, lucky for me I got somewhere safe and road off. Stay safe out there guys
