End of the day ... no one hurt ... being pissed of doesn't really count. What goes around comes around etc. They'll pay a lot more than me in the long run. Still half tempted to go down to The Whitehouse (Niddry Pub) and offer a bounty for a pair of broken legs tho'!
Off to the pound tm to check on the damge. Fingers crossed!
Pity it wasn't a new RT - the thief would now be grounded...
Update - went to see the bike this am. You're not allowed to get close but one of the office people took my camera and took some pics. Ignition wiring damaged as if someone had tried to hot wire. RH mirror pod missing. Slash in front seat. Both seats loose so I assume they ripped out the Kenwood and intercom. I assume there will be other damage that I can't see in the pics. Then there's the damage to the engine and clutch if they tried a burn out etc.
Was going to recover myself and fix it to save the NCB but am so sickened, will probably now simply turn it over to the insurance bods. Let the arguing commence!
Also worked out how they got the up and over door open despite a deadbolt and one of those garage door protectors. Sold secure? I don't think so. The b*astards simply used BFI to force the rollers out of their runners, crawled under and then used more BFI to hoist the door up.
So it's off to the blacksmith chap in Viewforth to organise a couple of pieces of angle iron to bolt behind the door and cut holes in the door for an "eye bolt". Weld same to the angle iron. Then a lump of angle iron bolted to the brickwork outside and a couple of big feck off padlocks.
Ba*stards!
BUT the cops have CCTV footage of the scrotes dumping the bike so fingers crossed.

Somewhat O/T but there's a blacksmith in Viewforth...? Oh I see, so there is - James Mackintosh & Son (Metalworkers) Ltd, 9 Horne Terrace, Edinburgh EH11 1JL. That must be just about where Kirkness and Innes, Coachbuilders used to be. I know the blacksmith in the lockups right along the end of Watson Cres.....
Sorry to read this, I guess you'll be swithering between hoping it's written off and hoping there isn't too much damage.
Our legal systems don't offer justice in these situations.
Is the lock up your permanent store? If so some remote alarm security and a bloody loud siren inside the lock up may be a good idea. Leave the wires to the siren in plain view and electrify the obvious easy route to cutting the wires. The bastards deserve a lifetime of misery prior to a slow and agonising death.

Can you still get the blank shotgun cartridge tripwires? Haven't seen them advertised for years. The flash and bang that came off them would wake the dead and make the thieves shit themselves!

Yes. Available on ebay. Getting hold of the blank cartridges would be the problem.

Sure my neighbour could sort some out even if it was a full one emptied. Second thoughts leave them full just don't forget about the trip wire.

May get back to you on that! The blanks that is. Need to check on legal situation also.
Bought one of those for my son (Laughing Gas on here) many years ago, they work a treat
Mind you, he forgot about it one day .... shat himself when it went off, and the old dear walking past had a cardiac arrest
Aha ... My secret is out!
Not only am I now a Transgender oops Transalp rider but it's a TA wi a fairy embroidered on the seat! From pipe n slippers to Oscar Wilde in the space of a day! Eurovision Song Contest next year,without a doubt!
Thanks to Jay and Tania n George for sorting me with a cracking TA, set up and good to go to Nogland. Slainte!

Update
Picked up the bike from the pound. The good news is that there is actually very little (visible) damage ...
One mirror pod gone.
Ignition switch loom fecked due to hot wiring.
Petrol filler cap fecked.
Front seat slashed but not badly
Front seat adjustable mount fecked due to BFI used to remove the seat.
The rear seat was intact so the Autocom and radio should still be there.
Insurance still dithering but hope for news tm.

That's good news (of a sort) its too good a bike to loose.
I'll look forward to seeing it back on the road.

Good you got it back and it's not too bad.
You know where I am if you need anything.

Sorry to hear of the theft and glad it was recovered.
Sorrier and utterly cringeworthy to read about the estimations and expectations of where it might be found though.
I can assure you all that the streets of Niddrie or Craigmillar or anywhere else i recall in Scotland's fine Capital are not strewn with broken bottles or used syringes, and that the majority of folks who reside in such places do their best. There is a real world out there guys. Go seek and ye shall find.
Terribly inaccurate assumptions made here. Tut tut.
