Watch This Jerk Kick Over A Motorcycle For No Reason
A motorcycle enthusiasts' most prized possession is...well, their
motorcycle. And nothing is more nerve-racking or scarier than
having to leave your pride and joy out of your sight, and alone in
a dark parking lot. There are a lot of nefarious people in the
world who are looking for an easy come up or just enjoy messing
with other people's property for no reason and a lonely motorcycle
can be ripe for the picking. While a motorcycle disc lock or chain
may not be the end all be all solution to making sure a motorcycle
doesn't get stolen, using some sort of motorcycle security device
is at least a good deterrent that may cause a thief to rethink the
situation and hopefully move on.
Unfortunately, in this video sent to us by one of our former
employees, Dalton Bennefield, a motorcycle lock wouldn't have done
much to prevent what this coward chose to do to Dalton's
motorcycle. Dalton told us this took place in San Bernardino at
about 7pm on December 19th. He parked his 2018 Suzuki
GSXR250R in the side parking lot of a local business and locked the
steering column. Then when he came back he saw his bike lying on
its side.
Looking around the parking lot Dalton spotted a security camera and
asked the manager if he could see what happened. The manger played
back the video and that's when Dalton saw what appeared to be a
male and female walking past the parking lot. He then watched in
shock as he saw the male flip his hoody over his head, wait for the
remaining car to leave the lot, and then walk over and simply kick
his bike over for absolutely no reason.
As you would expect, Dalton was pretty pissed but also confused
when he saw the guy give his bike a front kick and knock it to the
ground. "It happened just a few minutes before I walked out to go
home, so I couldn't imagine if I saw it happen. My blood was
boiling," Dalton told us. "I just thought, like why would some
random dude just kick it over for no reason at all? What's the
point in that?"
Unfortunately, Dalton still doesn't know who kicked his bike over
and even though he did file a police report, he says the
chances of catching the guy are probably pretty slim. Fortunately
however, the bike didn't suffer any major damage. The right bar end
was busted and the mirror was scraped up. Other than that the
handlebar and footpeg helped keep the right side bodywork from
getting messed up.
While the Kryptonite Series 4 Disc Lock Dalton uses might have
discouraged a thief from stealing his motorcycle, unfortunately
there wasn't much the lock could do in this situation. Dalton told
us he wanted to share this video with us because he wanted to
remind people to be more aware and to keep an eye on their
motorcycle whenever possible.
