- Much loved Yamaha R1 was stolen 11:00 in South East London and recovered at 14.30 - 3 May 2018
We received a motion alert from a customer’s R1 motorcycle at 11am. The customer confirmed his bike had been stolen, with the cut off chain all that remained of his much loved machine.
We tracked the bike cell locations for a few miles whilst the customer tried to report the crime. We decided to deploy a radio finder as no GPS signals were coming through, we thought it was possibly in the back of a van.
After 20 minutes of being stationary we eventually received a valid GPS fix. This helped the deployed finder to easily home in on the secret radio tracking signals to find the bike parked up against a wall in the corner of a car park in the London Bermondsey SE16 area.
The customer soon attended the recovery location but the bike had a damaged ignition lock, also the disc had been cut to remove the disc lock.
Automatrics reported back to the police that the bike had been found and paid for DMR motorcycle recovery to take it to the customers preferred Yamaha mechanic. Met Police didn't need to attend the site.
We think the customers wife will definitely be happy to see the bike safely recovered after buying the R1 dream sports bike for her husband seven years ago when they got married.

these videos are surprisingly addicting
I know, lol. I've just binged about 10 on the trot.
@@spudhead169 same, the GPS never seems to work
I concure. I think I'm going to watch this channel's entire content today! And the guy is good at his job and knows what he needs to be watching. Alert, careful, smart and effective.
They are definitely addicting. A good part of my job is hunting devices that create problems on cell towers. It never gets old doing radio tracking.
Im on number 22 consecutive 🤣🤣🤣
33 dislikes were thieves. Great work. Keep the videos coming, really fascinating to watch and gives us hope in tracker technology.
Eié carnt sea themnn
Take the antenna off of the roof so I don’t stand out like a sore thumb, I know I will walk around with a medium size antenna in my hand instead to blend in and not look out of place....
Well impressed, if that's not a great ad for trackers, I dnt know what is!
These are great videos, I did think the same thing though. No hate this guy does a great job
These videos alone are a bloody good advert for getting one of these trackers. Only just had mine recovered after laying in a field for a week only a mile away from my house no less with no one thinking to report it. I still haven't got it fully repaired yet but when I do....
Currently have my bike parked under my office building behind a gate, moving offices in August and I'll have to park it in a dodgier area, you're getting my money at the end of July 😅😂😂
AJHD if you haven’t already. Put a Killswitch somewhere on the bike!
It’s pretty common to just put the bike in a van, sadly there are very few things we can do to keep our bikes safe.
Relevent_AntiMeme ;3 what should a killswitch do against stealing?
Btw even my Yamaha R125 has a killswitch.
@@user-hs2hd7wp9g
Put explosives on it.
@@didntstickthe1v150 he means a hidden kill switch that kills the power from the battery so you cant start it
That's a Beautiful Bike, Black and Gold....Excellent Recovery
It is always a good day when you upload!
SwedishMindwacker true!
Well done on the recovery there. Thinking about getting your asset trackers on my motorbike and boat. Been considering it and watching your videos a few months now, seems to me your product/service is the best!
Felt I ought to say this. Thirty years as a motorbike mechanic, no way on earth I would ride anything more than 4mph both-feet-down with a cracked brake disk, especially a floating one, and even then only if I had absolutely no choice. I'm not saying this for concern about not being able to stop, it's about the front wheel locking up solid any moment, would cause a lot more damage than the bike's already got even at 4mph, could lead to a massive wreck at ordinary traffic speeds. Good to hear the owner got the bike moved in a van, but I suggest be a bit cautious about even suggesting riding a bike away if the brakes are damaged.
I second your opinion dave as a motorcycle mechanic with only a few years experience but in that situation lets say without any other option but to ride, I'd just remove the disc and pads and take it easy with just the back brake.. I've seen alot of sketchy and questionable callipers and discs but you're right would I F**k ride with a chunk out of a disc never mind one with bad runout or warpage..
If you remove the caliper & cable the the caliper to strut
Why didn't the owner put the chain around the full wheel?
I ride 07 R1 (same as 08), thank you so much for recovering this bike!! :)
I don't know why I found this channel. I don't know why I'm watching this. I DEFINITELY don't know why I'm addicted to it now.
Would be a very bad idea riding that with the disc cut!.l can’t believe you said it.
Jke 1 was thinking that myself, it could lock up any time
@@The_Alchemist__ Least of your worries, catastrophic failure of the brake disc and pad/caliper is more likely.
@@angus3963 ? which would include it locking up. I'm pretty sure dying because youre front wheel locked up is worse than having to replace the caliper and pads.
I had a similar situation with a bike. I had to get it home 25 miles away. I just unbolted the caliper and took the pads out. I made it home safe. All you need is that couple of inches clearance.
Please keep these videos going, especially the ones that involve police enforcement. They are good quality videos, and I don't know if you've ever done this before, but you are a natural narrator sir. As I say, keep it up. Thanks for the videos.
‘Police a bit slow to react’ imagine my shock!
These videos you guys make are an amazing advert, I'm addicted to watching these. I live in portsmouth, next to you guys, I'll 100% be enquiring about security once I have a worthy car 👍
Bit of a different R1 than in thumbnail for that clickbait lol good ad for the tracker though.
Agree :D
Couldn't get a better review than that. Great video, very addictive.
Just found your vids at 9:00 tonight, absolutely loving them! cheers from mansfield Pennsylvania!
Good job guys, another quick and successful recovery. Keep up the good work.
Top lads looks like a good product and service wish I’d know about this when my yzf-r125 was stolen a day after my birthday but keep up the good work!
I was thinking about you’re channel a few day ago. Always love watching.
Another great recovery.
amazing work and respect for you guys/gals.
good to see someone actually taking action on bike theft.
Thanks :)
When I have a bike worthy of having a tracker installed most definitely using these guys.
I hate these bike thieves. Getting my Ninja stolen would break my heart. We have this problem in NYC. I installed a tracker and if someone steals it, I’m calling my hoodlum friends with some “hardware” to recover the bike and if we catch a thief, he won’t be stealing again cause all of his limbs will be broken. Plz safeguard your precious bikes.
Hoodlum 🤣
Came across this channel I’ve watched every video in 4 days, fantastic work! As someone who has had 2 bikes stolen I will 100% be getting this product when I get my next bike, one question I have is do you guys charge a fee to recover or is it all part of your great service.
Keep it up.
I'm getting a bit addicted to these recovery videos. More please.
Wow, recovered in record time guys. I wouldn’t even bother with the insurance company, I’d just pay cash to fix that. 👍👍👍👍
si tate indeed
High time criminals but cant afford a 5k bike lol tough times to be a bum
😅
I'm so pumped I stumbled onto this channel, this is a dope concept. Good on this company!
Thanks for watching 👍
This is why I bought this tracker they make recovery look easy.
Well how much did you pay for the Tracking on top of the Rip off Insurance , £700 ? they charge extra for them to do that tracking , do they not ?
You have to be rich nowadays to run a good Car or Motorbike , it's getting out of hand. Rip Off Britain , they never know when to stop , they are Parasites that never get full up , always room for more Victims to be fleeced.
How did you figure out that disaster of a webpage? My god......
Great work! From several videos I have seen I venture to say thieves have picked up the practice of dropping the stolen vehicle in an area and then surveil it to see if there are trackers they could not detect on it. People on the van here could be on legitimate business or the thieves and they saw you. Too bad Police shows so little interest.
That's a great service, that you actually go out and recover the stolen vehicle as well as track it. I don't think we have a service like that in my country. You can get GPS trackers installed with website login to track, but you have to do the tracking and recovery yourself.
Thanks . The finding service does make our service different to others. We do also need reliable technology that means we can still locate stolen assets that have been hidden indoors or when GPS signals are blocked or jammed. There is not much location technology out there that can do that………. and if there was it would be best served by a professional finding agent to help locate it.
Just come across you UA-cam video , what a great job and company you guy have to get that blokes bike back , absolutely the best
3 1/2 hours to recover a stolen bike using a small tracker? that's absolutely amazing. I guess a subscription service like this, for expensive assets, is way better than having it stolen and insurance covering a new one.
Love a hidden camera placed nearby to pickup the reaction of the scumbags when they come to collect .
They left the bike in that spot on purpose to see if it had a tracker or if anyone came to recover it.They would have waited a while and if there was no activity, they'd have taken it away. If it disappeared, then they didn't get caught with it. They often just move these stolen items to let them "cool off", before actually taking them away.
No way would I ride that with a broken disc! It could go so wrong so fast!
You guys are awesome, I wish you every success.
I know that area used to live there back of Rotherhithe tunnel where the 381 goes. 😂 Great work guys.
Thanks
WHAT A FANTASTIC SERVICE YOU PROVIDE why aren't you advertising on TV. As good as the "Sheriffs are coming." get in touch with the BBC . They'd love programme like this ... Good luck and thanks
+AutomatricsMtrack,
Thanks again guys for another fantastic video. I'll definitely be buying your systems on my next car purchase and 4x4 tree truck. Keep up the fantastic work.
I'm moving to SE14 as a mature student come mid-September, these kind of shenanigans are why my MT07 is going into secure storage away from London for use in half-term breaks and occasional weekends.
Keeping this as favourite for later, when I buy my next bike!
Well impressed!! Good recovery agent as well, hats off chaps!! 😊
Bring back the birch... Until the perpetrators experience pain and humiliation, this is going to keep on happening. Wake up government.
Glad to see this fellow got his lovely R1 back.
Great result all in one day. It just shows the quality of the tracker system.
It's sad that it's almost not worth having anything nice anymore, always someone that will just come along and take it away :(
You can make it as hard as possible to take
This channel is a great way to be paid for ad space.
What a Great service you offer good job
You guys should get a drone, that could map the rf signal in an area and you could check out via camera if the object you are trying to recover can be seen
I had a 1983 Yamaha Midnight Maxim 750 with the same gold anodized look on the wheels but it was all black with gold trim. It really took me back 35 years when I saw this bike. Yamaha makes nice bikes. I'll bet the thieves where unhappy to lose it to the owner! Another great job. A note on the side. My son is now going to a university to study political and economic science and we had a great talk about how theft and vandalism are injurious to the national economy of a small nation like Belgium. Many people actualy believe that it is a booster because it provides work and more spending but they are not thinking through the entire picture. Yep, getting schooled by my boy!
With another term of our glorious mayor, we’ll be enjoying so many more videos from you.
The thieves probably think another gangs nicked the bike when they go back to it missing
Very nice work guys. Great service. Man.. that cut disc infuriates me!!
This bloke OBVIOUSLY has never road a bike 😂 That's like have a chunk taken out of your car disk and expecting to use the handbrake 🤦🏻♂️
Bless him
I know that area quite well and work around there often, Surrey quays se16.. Used to be a lovely area with new builds regenerations. I have a client who live in the area and they told me its bad now with these young men's robbing ppl, drugs sales, and bike thief etc.
SE15 Peckham had a bad reputation since time.
These videos are so satisfying.
you would not ride that bike with a disc fooked like that,period.
This just shows the pure stupidity of a thief... Why go through all the trouble of stealing a 2008 R1 when you'd need to take the same steps and put in the same effort for a 2018 R1 and probably get 3 times the money for it if selling it in parts or as a whole ....
In Turkey, we also have a service kinda like yours, but without the recovery services which makes it unique. And as far as I know they only have GSM/GPRS + all gps protocols but not RF. Wathcing your videos, it seems to be that RF makes a huge difference when GPS target area is too wide
Yes big difference. more technology layers, more opportunities to succeed 👍
I don't know that there is anything like this in America. I have had 3 bikes stolen over the years, and never saw any of them again in one piece.
That's fantastic! Should've written down the license plate of that dodgy van though, so police could check it out to see if it was involved in the theft. They got cameras everywhere nowadays and if it were anywhere near the location of the theft, I'm sure they could track it down and pick up the perps or at least the van's owner. It's quite possible that they just unloaded the bike before you got there and were still hanging around waiting for somebody to pick it up. Still, great job on getting it back!
So if he hadn’t spent the money on a tracking system, he would get a new bike from his insurance company? Sounds like a great idea...
Had me all choked up seeing the great work you guys do.
Didnt know this was a thing, hope in humanity is almost restored
Completely destroying a rotor to steal the bike. Imagine if you had to run from the cops as you were stealing the bike. That is the front wheel as well. They would end up in the hospital before an arrest could be made.
i thought the thumbnail was the bike flying infront of the car because of an accident
5:20 of course not ideal. That isn’t safe to ride out. The disc lock has been cut out from the rotor disc. It should be replaced and towed to your home or a mechanic you trust.
Why am I watching this
It’s so good though
Algorithm done me nice
More recoveries coming soon👍
DO NOT DRIVE!
Cut rotor could catch caliper and "pitch-pull" rider over the front.....grrr.
PS: Loved video and recovery!
Mr. P
Those r1 yams are off the hook amazing
Who leaves a bike like that parked and unattended outside a Premier Inn in SE London disc lock or not!!!
My guess is the thieves will leave the bike there for a while just to see if someone is tracking it. Too bad, you didn't catch the thieves.
My Pannigale got stolen last week heart broken wish I had a tracker, having one fitted to my remaining bike in a few days,. Waiting on insurance and if I do get a 2nd bike back that will also get a tracker fitted. I am shocked though that police seem to sit back and let the people tracking the bike do all the work, I hope they (the police) dont use the recovery figures as part of their statistics to claim thats how many bikes they found and recovered.
Was it me or did anybody else see that the front wheel kept moving where the damage was done. Each time we came back to the video the wheel moved up a little where you couldn’t see the opening. Sure hope there’s no more damage to the bike
All Van and cars should be fitted with this system from the manufacturer and the police should back the idea, This would minimise crime as the levels of vehicles being stolen in London is a joke, Nice find, Men in that van where suspicious lol
well done...great to see a man getting his bike back
you guys need to seriously upgrade your website! oh and ill be getting the tracker done on my car soon
Mathew I had been thinking the same thing.
@Automatrics I'd be more than happy to help you fine folks with your website.
great .find and vid.. do love to see a happy biker getting his pride and jojy returned..
Disk locks are completely useless. I use a Kryptonite New York through the front wheels and discs. You have to cut both parts of the U lock to realise it = noise x time x effort. In addition to this I use a sturdy lock that locks onto the rear sprocket. 11 years in London parking in hotspots with expensive bikes ranging from KTM to Ducati, BMW and Suzuki. If it looks hard then the thieves will move on to a softer target 🎯
Beautiful bike! The colour scheme reminds me of a Firebird.
You did a better job than the police.
They’d definitely left it there to see if it had a tracker! They’d have come back and been fuming!!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
your company is fantastic, i would have loved to have heard the bike
Great video. Here is the states, a good police department would have processed that bike for fingerprints. Its a shame that these thieves aren't caught. The most important part is, the customer gets their property back, which is something that does not happen here in the states.
Night Hawk Monitoring here In uk, due a lack of founding from central government, and lack of police interest in case thieves got injured on a chase or similar , you can get knifed by kids trying to rob your bike .
Here is about 30k bikes stolen a year .. police won’t do a shit if your bike is stolen, at least , if you fitted similar tracker like this , cat 6-7 tacham
Also, number of police officers in uk are about 20k less compared 10 years ago, and have to deal with baby-sitting, no swear to citizens, mental issues, protect the queen & all royal family , protect company interests and football matches. Also with fights produced by alcoholics.
So unfortunately, motorbikes aren’t priority.
Pd : thieves use gloves, so isn’t point to call forensics for this , when they’ll take a week to take prints, and the one who pay consequences are the bike owner and taxpayer .
It’s sounds like a joke, yes , uk is it a joke
Night Hawk Monitoring in uk you can be robbed at home & assaulted , police maybe show up in a week tine
We always hear that crime in the UK and Australia is low. Maybe no one reports these crimes there.
It's really too bad the police aren't more responsive over there. I haven't had a lot of occasions to call my local police, but the times I did, they responded immediately.
Imagine those thief who stole the bike shows up and square you up while you're inspecting the bike.
That would be damn.
Yes we keep this in mind to access as we go for each situation... and have a fallback response plan
I wish you guys had a prenesce in Australia, you would make a small fortune!
I fail to see why you get any thumbs down at all . good work guys & Iv just emailed you re installing something on my machines
Nice one guys big thumbs up...
And the police are no where to be seen, what a surprise
It’s amazing how middle class these thieves are. You’d expect bike thieves to be living in flop houses.
Love to see this well done the pieces of human waste who stole it should be locked up and the key thrown away
You guys are beyond Awesome !!
In U S we have bike rental vans. In UK you have bike recovery vans
Awesome video!
Do you do a self destruct version? So when they’re riding along on my bike I can just press a button and ka’boom!
When you are walking around with your antenna other people in the area will think your are one of the BBC TV licence Goons especially in built up area looking for people without a tv licence lol
Happy customer 👍
Lucky never saw my bike again may of to get a tracker from you guys!
Great product this tracker!! 👍👍
