Will pass on this information to the crews on our bluebridge ferries and freight would pay for you to contact the toll ferries too just incase they head south

best of luck

Will keep an eye out this way.
Have you contacted the triumph & rat clubs? pay to do each branch with some good pics. In a couple off weeks the triumph club are having a show here in chch so if it's not shown up by then get them to put a poster up to spread the word.
& I'll Pm Shrub he's works with the chch triumph dealer.

Good luck- hope they get the bastard!

My Hamilton eyes will be wide open for a siting.
I feel for ya mate. All the best for a recovery quickly.

Utter bastards!

Keep an eye on Trademe for 'parts' - items like the 2-1 should be a good lead if they appear.

**bikersgear** · 2nd September 2009, 15:54

Great idea. Thanks

Another reason to give police the powers to put their battons to use on these scum.

Low life mongrels, I say they should be taken by helicopter to white island and let off there all by themsleves.
Did i say let off, I probably mean't pushed out the open door when still about 1000ft up, that ought to do it.
I sincerely hope shes found in one piece and that the barstards who did this get caught.

quick squiz over the figures indicates bike theft could be running at more than double the rate of a year ago ....

Taranaki eyes are a GO!

That means our insurance premiums will rise.

Sorry to hear about this theft. A real collectors item and bound to surface sooner or later.

Good luck.

Do most stolen bikes get sold again or do they end up as parts?

probably not as they still feature well down on the league table, pole position of course going to black dogs

scooters turn up though road bikes and quads don't usually - offering a reward tends to help
