Popped into Tesco last night on the way home as I almost always do..

Left the lid on the mirror like I have done for quite litraly 20 years of riding. Unless I am going to be gone from the bike for more than 10 mins then Ill lock it up or take it with me.

But tonight I come out sort my shopping out and was kinda lost for a second as it dawned on me my lid was Éclairing GONE. :soap:

Good Éclairing job I have my old one still.... Had to ride home slow and steady 2 miles without a lid. Good job there was no police about  :smirk:

I'll call the shopping centre in the morning and find out if they saw anything on CCTV... Camera facing the other way no doubt!

Sods law kicked in, camera just misses where my bike was... But they did see only a group of 3 lads come out as I went in.....

I've had a good month of covering sickness at work so got a good pay packet coming but it's still not the point is it.

I'll pop over to j and s and grab the same givi Los of they have it.

Apple Turnovers  :bang: what’s the betting they had no need for it !!!!
And just took it as it was just there ?
Maybe a good idea to have a look for it chucked in a hedge or something?

Good luck getting a replacement ( or finding yours 🤞)

It'll likely be used with the stolen scooter they have at home.

Round these parts you just don't leave anything unattended for more than 30 seconds if you wish to keep possession of it.

When I cut the front lawn or use the pressure washer on the drive/car/bike I run any cables/hoseand bring out the wash bucket ect before I bring the expensive items.
