petrol thieves Vs GS150R

Sittuation made me to use my GS for a 15 kms trip where I parked my bike on road side as paid parking spaces are closed.

While I return back noticed two people hiding on one side of my GS and doing something, did watched them for 20 minutes still they are trying something.

Did approched them like a stranger
Asked them brother what's the problem ? They staired at me and slowly one guy said its his bike and asked me on how to take petrol out of this bike,
Replied back stating you use the normal way. He replied tiredly stating their is a lengthy metel pipe inside the petrol hose so even I can't cut and take it.

They showed me 250 ml of petrol in a bottle which was taken from another bike

Told them to move away and I try, they smiled at me as if I can't make it.

Now I showed them the bike key they gone speachless and said sorry brother.

Told them this is a diffrent bike you can't take it out using normal method,

Guys don't think people can't steel petrol from GS it is possible you just need to try bit hard

@ Madhu

If it was me, first thing to do would have been a punch to the face .

You are really lucky to make it out at the proper time .

GoD. How could you be so patient ! that too when those idiots playing with your GSR

you could have broken a log of iron on their head..its really fustrating when people does wrong things with your mate..If I ever get any body playing with my bike which they did when I was not infront of my steed taking stickers,scratching,even somebody broke my side panel.just once I want to catch them to break their bones...its my long term WISH..

PIECE

superlike...

@ anup and vishnu,

Even I also do the same if they are as young as you or bit elder than my brother, I watched them for a while because I know what those old age guy can do with this latest model bike
They looks like somewhere close to 65 yrs old

And that's a well crowded area and they got shevring after I showed them the keys
And on top of all this, one of the old man is already started crying and pleading me to let him go.

I know if I beat some one for theft in a crowded place crowd also beats them and this two looks too weak and they can't with stand if 4 or 5 people beats them, and I don't want to be the cause for their death.

My parents aren't with me due to issues(luv marriage) and their age is almost same or close to my dads which made me soften my stand to let them go.....

Ya then why not go visit madhu sir and give him a sastanga dandawat pranam by mr. vishnu as you consider him as an incarnation of lord buddha... its good to be patient sometimes and let go of things my friend... if a dog barks at u would u start barking back at it or just ignore and move on?? and come on they are just thieves and why would anyone come down to their level and fight with them because normal people like us cant win them because they have too much experience in such things.. and i think 'PEACE' seems a lot better than 'PIECE'..IMO...dont know what u think. unlike u not everyone is in a fighting and ridiculing mood everytime.

Yes; I know. How is the climate there, in Nepal?

Hey Madhu, its really surprising that you could keep your calm in such a situation, i dont like it when people sit on my bike only, in such a situation i would have freaked out for sure.

But one thing i can say for sure, taking petrol from GS is pretty easy actually, just like any other bike, i've done it twice so far with my bike, while checking mileage with a can.

Hey, i agree with you that a soft kick would reduce the wear on the engine, but its not like the electric start puts a lot of stress suddenly on the engine either right ?

Anyway, the main reason people recommend kick start in the morning is so battery doesn't get drained, not to protect the engine. (as far as i recall)

I use ES in the mornings too, because with kick it takes 5 kicks atleast, but ES it starts in the first or second try itself.

Man that's a pitiable state !!!
This is what happens when the Fuel price is above 60 bucks a liter.

There was a report in the newspaper which said that the imported crude oil till the refined petrol is priced by the companies at 35 bucks a liter here in India, the rest is Government duties

From the above incident it seems that not only the man was old but was also not sure if he would steal.Because Petrol theives have little regard for the bikes.
Once at a parking I saw a Fiero Fx of a person standing in a pool of fuel, I raised an alarm fearing the hot weather or a fire incident.Everyone including the owner rushed at the site.The Owner was shocked, someone did open the fuel line to the carburetor, stole a litre or so of fuel but left the rest of the tank to pour itself out all over the bike and the place as he did not close either the fuel cock or the reconnect the fuel line to the carb.The Bike was walked to a nearby petrol pump, washed thoroughly ,refilled and then was ridden.The owner had suffered a big loss of 6 litres of fuel that day.But it could have been more scary than that.

The person who was trying to steal the petrol could have pulled out every cable out of the carburettor if he needed to do so really.But he had regards for the bike so he tried to reason instead of being desperate....Now what can we do in such a case ???

Neither did the old man threatened or run off, so that a public showdown could be arranged.

But what I believe is that prevention is always better than cure.So what we need to do that we get ourselves fuel cock locks if possible.No one knows who would be in danger when.

kick start at early morning

The mail reason is as said by falcon its the battery.

It needs more power to start the bike on early morning

And that's the reason our friend ANIMIHER is using only kicker to start the bike as he needs battery power for his HID

I have read somewhere that the cost of petrol in Pakistan, our neighboring country is equal to 18 Indian rupees. Is it true? Any idea?

Thats shocking

And really no idea about it.

It would be possible only if Pakistan has its own oil-fields or has a fuel pipeline on contract from Gulf nations.
