Bike stolen in Bradford, UK 13th April 2014

As taken from the ADV forum from Mitch(owner of Rally Raid):

Can people in the UK, especially Yorkshire area please keep eyes peeled for a Swiss registered KTM 690 Enduro that was stolen today in Bradford on Sunday 13th April.
It is owned by a young swiss guy, Luca Reber, who dropped in at Rally-Raid HQ last week on the first leg of his RTW trip, and this is not what he(we) wanted.
It is a mainly black 690 Enduro with our EVO1 black tanks fitted, and aluminium panniers, reg no. TI 33511

Sorry to read about such a scumbag move!

As an aside: I've noticed when reading British motorcycles magazines and web sites that the UK seems to have a huge number of motorcycle thefts. It seems to be a frequent topic of conversation on these UK sites.

It seems strange to me, because in my neck of the woods, sure the occasional dirt bike or Harley gets ripped off, but it's just not that common of an occurrence.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
