I'm surprised they let it OUT of the tip Tim, I would have thought that once an old Mitsubishi rattles into to the tip they lock the gates, and it's never seen again? You know, it's like The Eagles' song "Hotel California"? "You can check out, but you can never leave? ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

oh buy the way any one want to buy a cb750 as i now have to sell it sorry just thought id drop that in as cant keep it now

You say you flip bikes? sell another one. Your dad sounds like a reasonable man. He knows you are in a bad situation. Borrow the  700 from him and pay him back. I know if I was in this mess I would be able to depend on my mother for this.
I have had to eaten a 600 bad deal. You will recover from it.

That's great news Dave. Has Danny been told why the coppers never got back to him yet?
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators.
We haven't met yet.

Don't hold your breath waiting to see the Police give money back mate, you'll asphyxiate long before that ever happens.............. ;D

No doubts about that but has the police given any explanation as to why Danny was never notified that they had his bike?

OK. Confusing story. I thought that there was a fund established for Danny to recover his bike? If so, then I will contribute $100 USD on behalf of PAMCO to that fund. (PayPal)

I think all of you who have stepped up to offer donations to help Danny out should stand and take a bow.
