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.

Gutted to see some scumbag has stolen your bike..I seen you boxing day on it in Swansea... Hope it's found & returned soon.
All the best.. Gav

I'm with you, mate.

Wish you the best of luck for your bike's recovery.



Keep us posted, please.

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.

Thats terrible news.
