Can a Fatman survive on a 125, can a 125 survive a fatman, bike used is a AJS 125 Tempest scrambler Mainly to show new & learner riders that you can go anywhere
@BenGrahamUK Even Google Gemini isn't buying it, it thinks it's a cover story, this is the full thread if a conversation I had with it

@swh4111984@Lord_Talbot64@BenGrahamUK Yeh depends if it's clay or organic based, could be used to absorb fuel spillages or a clandestine chemical operation
@swh4111984@Lord_Talbot64@BenGrahamUK You are assuming they are stealing white diesel but even if they were would it still be worth the risk reward to do it next to a strategic air base obviously not as they got caught & now face up to a 7 year prison sentence
@LeilaniDowding It's one thing to steal fuel in a muddy field out of a tanker in Rumania it's another to do it at a highly active strategic air base, the risk reward would be too great even if you seriously overloaded the vans
@JennyB311 No diesel theft doesn't make sense, the risk reward would be too great to do it next to a strategic air base even if you seriously overloaded the vans
@TheNorfolkLion The fuel theft doesn't make sense, the risk reward would be too great to do it next to a strategic air base even if the vans were seriously overloaded
@timdavies_uk It's obviously political but he would have done better jumping aboard & claiming salvage rights, then again they probably would have done him for theft
@TheAngry53586 Specific details regarding whether the vans were officially rented, or actively reported stolen have not been confirmed. However, investigations into the vehicles have revealed a highly suspicious setup that points toward an organised cover story rather than a routine theft
@TheAngry53586 If we assume the suspects completely ignored safety limits and severely overloaded all three vans, they could physically cram up to 5,400 litres of diesel across the entire fleet.
@TheAngry53586 On the criminal black market, this haul would yield a maximum total value of roughly ยฃ2,700 to ยฃ4,300. When split among five men, the math further exposes how absurd the "fuel theft" cover story is
@Lord_Talbot64@BenGrahamUK To overload a standard 3.5-tonne UK transit van to its absolute physical maximum before the tyres or axle snaps, you could push the payload to about 1,500 to 1,800 kg per vehicle
