I like KiwiBiker, although I don't post much, I am on here alot. I like it because it's about bikes but mostly because it keeps me up to date with what is going on in NZ (and I really miss NZ!)
KiwiBiker threads often talk about the "commumity" and how everyone looks out for each other etc... I think that's cool.
We've just experienced this in London, city of millions.....
See this thread http://www.therevcounter.com/showthr...556#post230556
My Brother (Pete) was in North London on Saturday - Went into a mates house, looked out the window an hour later and his bike (KTM 950 Adventure) was gone!
He's gutted because it's the bike he rode around South America on, and had just spent a load of dosh getting it back to A1 condition.
We didn't expect to see it again, but had a phone call last night from the Police to say it had been found!
Apparently a sharp eyed copper saw a bike parked on the side of the road with it's number plate covered, so stopped and checked it out. The theives had even put a lock on the bike.
Pete's been to check it out and the only damage is to the ignition switch where they smashed the lock... The cargo net and touratech straps are even still attached to the back of the bike.
Awesome news for Pete, and great work by the police... makes me wonder why someone would steal a bike and leave it parked on the street a few miles from where it was stolen though!!!
