do these jack-offs think they are?
I have worked hard for my stuff—if
you are not in a position to benefit
from your life's work, maybe you
should try harder and leave me
and my bike the hell alone.
My mates back in Australia
and I are a tight bunch of blokes.
Bound for life by bikes, we've all
had them stolen right from under
us. Richie had his Ducati 1098 S
flogged after the dickless won-
ders broke three separate locks
to get to his bike in a "secure"
basement in his apartment build-

armed security guard.
Dom had his Honda
CBR600RR stolen while upstairs

unabashed annihilation.
"We must deal with the prob-
lem of bike thieves at its source,
by killing them," May says in his
column on Drivetribe.com (you

May's assertion these beasts
should be denied the right to
breathe might be on the harsh
side, yet my opinion on the mat-
ter is not that different. Like May, I
do not condone state-sponsored
murder, except in cases so
severe no other punishment will
suffice. Pedophilia being one.
However, the thought some-
one can, at any opportunity,
liberate me from my pride and joy
makes me violently angry. Who
