If you hear/see it please let me know, no boxes attached at the time. Due to RTW in 8 weeks, looks like I'll be back packing now

Bugger, I hate to read such things.
Don' expect much help from the police. Mobilise yourself and your mates and drive around your area on the chance that it was taken by some fukin' kids for a joy ride. Read this: http://www.transalp.org/phpbb2/viewt...1240f286f2a023
On the other hand, if this was done by professionals, the chances of seeing your bike again are nil.
I do hope it was insured. Best of luck.

cheers Pete.
the AT has been seen ridden across some field/park by two youngsters with no helmets. No danger of it coming back in a decent state I don't think.
looking for an alternative bike now. There's an Enfield dealer half a mile from my house....

Bastards! I hope they all get some disease and die a slow death.
Mate, that is bad news. It's a shocker. Nevr fear though, something good will happen, it always does after stuff like this.
Doing anything next week? Fancy that coffee at munsons if you have time? Give me a shout / mail me - I tried your mail address from the profile, but had problems - mail me at colesyboy@lycos.com
Cheers and chin up mate, at least you are getting out of this poo hole!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
