This Rider thought it a good idea to ask #GMPMotorcycleunit for directions after forgetting the roads were busy due to EID celebrations.

Unfortunately he forgot insurance & had a no licence.

He should have been nowhere near this 650 except a showroom.

Short Pursuit by #GMPMotorcycleunit in Salford with this outstanding stolen Husqvarna. Rider and pillion thought it better to take their chances on foot and split.

A decent security device won't always stop a bike getting stolen but may reduce the likelihood.
