Topic: It's happened again - Bike Stolen 1977 CJ250 (Its in Britain, South Wales)

[crazypj]

Hi All,
 just had a phone call from my brother in Britain to tell me someone has applied for registration to one of my bikes. (I'm living in Florida)
 Anyone in Britain applying for RTX 321 R is out of luck as I have notified DVLA and my brother is notifying police that its a stolen vehicle.
 Probably post this on a lot of different sites as I'm not sure it should be here but want as many people as possible to know and possibly recover it.
 Probably in the wrong place, but this is the section I visit second after main forum

Has it actually been stolen or is someone trying to register a bike that you already have (ie cloning the plate)?

[crazypj]

Hi Steve, I really don't know as I'm living in Florida.
 My brother is banned att present so cant get to storage to find out whats happened.

        Hey PJ, just wondered if you had any news about the bike situation back in South Wales? I know you gotta feel helpless with you being here and your stuff being there. I'm hoping for the best for ya.

                                    Later on, Bill

Hi Bill, no news yet. My brother had to report it stolen ( don't know when exactly, sometime in last 9 yrs???)
 Then he has to contact DVLA so they can notify police to interview person applying for registration.

Notification for British people (well everyone really)
 Bike has been found.
Its in North Devon, (Paignton)
 Police are telling me its not worth recovering, its going to cost me more than is worth.
 Anyone in North Devon on here who could help out?

I'll recover it to Gloucester for fuel cost SIT DOWN 25mpg at £5.50 GBP per Gall-----for you yanks thats damn near $10 per US gall

[mlinder]

$8.68 us per US gallon is what you are paying.

That's terrible.

'Course, you can walk across England in about a couple of hours, so it's not like you have anywhere to go....

PJ, good luck with retrieval.

[bryanj]

It WAS terrible and just went up another 2 p per litre (10 p per UK gall)

[crazypj]

I'm posting this all over the place hoping someone will see it and kick #$%* out of the bastards
My CJ391 has been stolen
It's in Britain somewhere. Was stolen from shed in South Wales
I'm wondering if it was the same people who stole the last one a few years ago.
I didn't contest that so they got a 'free bike'
This one I'm really pissed about


It's real distinctive as it has modified RD350 carbs, 70mm pistons, 'custom' exhaust, Maico rear mudguard, GS125 headlight Yamaha XT350 handlebars, CB250 tank, orange seat, plus, it's yellow

Ha ha That's not nice

Shouldn't be hard to track down a blind bike thief though

In all seriousness, hope the scrote gets caught.

That's harsh Simon, but I must admit, if I was a cop investigating the theft, I'd visit the local circus and interrogate the clowns, it looks like something they'd be interested in..........

But seriously, bike thieves suck, I've never had one stolen, and hope I never do. I hope you get it back PJ, all the best mate. Cheers, Terry.
