bike stolen!!
Had my 600RR for less than a month and its gone. Police witness said that it was carted into a back on a white Van in SE London near Greenwich. BUGGER!!! Annoying!! The poor thing will now end up as spare parts or slaving round a race track. Ah... Poor baby.... And she just had her alarm fitted as well. Was only away for an Hour, just having dinner with a friend.

RE: bike stolen!!
ohhh... sucks.
I would suggest to anyone who's worried about his bike to get a vehicle tracker, something like this. I am trying to get one for my bike, its worth about 500$, the prices range as there are plenty of manufacturers. It uses a SIM card same as the one for a mobile phone. You could fit it under the seat, or in the tool box. It has excellent functins such as it would alert you on your mobile phone by SMS if it was moved. Some even have an alarm system. Runs on its own battery. You can also SMS is and it would send back its latitude so you can locate it on a map. The map and software is usually provided with the device. You can also use the internet to locate the device.
Look up keywords such as car tracker, tracking device, GPS, and telematics. Note that GPS is not exactlly the same as GPRS, what we need is GPS (global positioning system)

Obviously not. *sigh. bugger need to wait for like 3-4 weeks for my insurance to sort things out. No bike in the mean time.
