Stolen - Sign written Riderskills ute with 2 bikes on board

[CatTheBrat]

That's bloody shocking I was with Philip on Sunday doing my IAM observation ride and was admiring his set-up for learner training. Absolutely gutted that it had to happen to such a great guy, not to mention the impact on his business.

Edit: if you go to my blog about the experience, you'll see the ute in question 2 photos down, plus some of the bikes in the background. Ute has a ding on the nearside front wing behind the headlight. Just click on the photo to enlarge. http://geoffjames.blogspot.com/2011/...sterclass.html

That's awesome thanks for posting that. Yes Philip is a great guy, unbelievably patient!

A workmate just said he saw cops on Symonds St in town stopping all bikes.. wonder if it's related to the thefts or if they're just being pricks

That's for students with rego on hold.

Really hope you get your bikes back in good condition and asap... Best of luck. Keeping eyes out.

Oh ok. I thought that would be too good to be true.

......Just unbelievable what scum will do now days.

South island crew will keep all eyes pealed...just in case they try to shift the gear down here.
Truly hope these B&%$%#ds get caught, and the gear is found intact

Bike thiefs......

cutting their hands off will just entitle them to yet another benefit from the tax payer. Now cutting their benefits off

The one they're on now doesn't stop them stealing bikes, though.

I guess the answer to stopping them stealing bikes is the state run benefit where they get the secure accommodation thrown in. At least that way they aren't stealing stuff of the rest off us or being a pain to us.

Thanks for all your support guys.

Details as follows:

Dark Blue mazda bounty B2600 ute (with distinctive ding on left wing ) rego UL3817

Fairly new Blue Suzuki Gn125 rego A3 DBS
Older red Suzuki Gn125 - no rego

All three vehicles have Riderskills motorcycle training (doors and tailgate on the ute) tanks on the bikes.

... our thieves should be very well protected now with a selection of helmets, gloves and hi-vis gear to choose from.

Eyes peeled,

Philip

If I were to rig up an explosive bike, then leave it out to be stolen.
And it exploded and killed the thieves. Do you think I could be let off the hook (legal wise)?

Would be interested to know.
Would even provide the bike out of my own pocket.

A shop keeper in Wairoa was sick of people jumping up and hitting his under-verandah sign outside his shop. It would swing up and break the lights.
So he hammered a row of nails along both sides on the bottom of it.
Guess who got 'stung'?

I have just remembered I have recently been in contact with a lady at TVNZ to find some footage of me on a news interview, so I have just emailed her to see if they can help.

Shows that no matter how big the "knife", it's not much use in a gunfight...

Just came back from a ride up Coromandel in the weekend, I seem to recollect a Blue Ute with a couple of bikes on the back.
Just trying to get my thoughts as to where I actually saw it, the ute had large writing on the side.
Have you been up that way at all last weekend?
