BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Local press has given me good coverage and I have milked this as hard as I can. Been in local paper and done radio and TV pieces. From this had an ineresting contact from a local biker with the address of a local scum bag to whom he lost a bike recently. He had to employ local muscle to get his bike back. Something to check out tomorrow. Could be an interesting day. Wish me luck.

hay sortie to here that , bike thieves are as bad as paedophile's as far as im concerned.
thing is , there has been a transit seen a few times nicking bikes. all I can say is get a gps tracker, iv fitted one to my gs1150, les that £100, if it moves it will tell you, and then notify you every 50 yards, and it does work . if they take it you can find them ! with in 10 meters . its a tiny un it, and it has a battery back up if they cut the power. you can hide it no problem . have a look, gprs tracker, it was a uk seller ,so you know it will have the right band. hope this helps .

No positive news on the bike at the moment - some leads, but whilst names are being mentioned they are hard to follow up and certainly prove anything (and they may have nothing to do with my particular theft).

What has been very heartening is the local support I'm getting from the Swansea bike and general community. That, and the support here and elsewhere on-line helps cover some of the pain. Many thanks to those who have sent best wishes.

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.
