Sabotaged fuel line

Just logged on to have a little rant - Couple of Friday's ago got out to me bike, ready to go home after long hard week at work, and bike pumped fuel all over my feet - some b*&@@#! had cut my fuel line in two (to immobilise it or trying to nick overtaxed and expensive fuel? who knows).
Upshot is replacement part is expensive BMW part that takes a day to fit - Not pleased. All back on road again, with damaged wallet and my beautiful Sidi Vertabras stinking of petrol.
Any one else had similar experience ever?
Cheers, Dave

There was a problem with this vandalism in south Birmingham in the early 80's. Fuel lines and seats and tyres being cut or slashed quite regularly in the Hall Green area.
I replaced all my fuel lines with steel reinforced ones after my mates FS1E got lines cut and his bike torched.
There are too many scumbags in this world for my liking. I say we cut their b*lls off!

Or better still, lock 'em in a dark room for a week and make them listen to a Katie Melua album on a continuouse loop

I wouldn't mind being left in a room with Katie Melua in person.
Sorry to hear about your fuel lines. I had my seat slashed in the early 80's by some jealous bast**d.

Hi Decisivedave,
Your avitar picture wasn't taken on a Hartlepool beach about 2002 was it?
RE the fuel lines,was it the hard plastic or soft rubber bits they cut. I've just replaced my rubber bits with fuel line bought at a motor bits shop for only £3 a metre and cut it to lenghth. This came about when I replaced my fuel filter and the two lines would not part company with each other so a stanley knife was employed to do the job. Couple of clips from motorworks and all was fixed.
Cheers, cobbster
