Bike for round the world trip STOLEN!!

This is a message Steph Jeavons posted on facebook, I am trying to help her out, since her bike was stolen last night, in Colwyn Bay.
Here is her message:

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD - Hi all. Sorry to have to report that my bike for my dream world trip was stolen last night. All I can do is spread the word and hope against hope that someone by chance sees or hears something. The bike is a CRF250L (reg no CX63 NHO) with the following modifications (which will not be covered by the insurance) - 12 litre clear tank (rather than 7.7 litre black tank), custom made back rack (silver), front fly screen with black rack attached, Renthal bars, Oxford Heated grips, black hand guards and belly pan. The work had just been finished after weeks of sourcing and hard work and help from friends. I am obviously gutted and with only 13 weeks to go it is going to be hard work to get this sorted. I would appreciate you all sharing this in the vain hope that someone sees something and clicks. Thank you in advance.

There is a.only 13 weeks to go before she starts her trip aound the world and this is, as anyone here can imagine, really bad news...
If anyone can help, please contact her:

Thanks!

Devastating! I've been watching the trip preparation unfold via facebook, will post in a variety of threads. Fingers crossed it'll be spotted as it's too different from all the other CRF's

I can sympathise with that - many years ago I spent about ten months building a bike specifically for the Elephant rally only to have it stolen two weeks before the departure date.

Mine was never seen again but I hope Steph has better luck. I'll certainly keep my eyes open.

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.
