[QUOTE="Bill Cannon, post: 113903, member: 152"] I come at this from a different angle. In 2015 our business had 12 bikes stolen in a burglary. They were all targeted and were 11 BMW S1000 and one KTM RC8, all desirable track bikes. Over the years, 6 have been recovered and everyone had been used for racing and track days. Most had there frame numbers erased or altered. Some had been bought from people met at race tracks. There is guidance that scrutineers must check frame numbers against lists of stolen bikes, but our experience suggests that this rarely happens or is ineffective. What is clear to me is that bike thieves frequent meetings to both steal bikes and to sell them. I think race organisers should take a much more responsible attitude to stolen bikes and close down race meetings as golden opportunities for these scum. Rant over! Cheers Bill [/QUOTE]
