Now that's something to look forward to (stay positive)

When i read of your news it prompted me to phone my insurers and detail the accessories i have fitted to make sure they are covered should the worst happen. They weren't... but they are now.

Will be keeping my eyes open Gina, really hope that you get your bike back

As stated in an earlier post.. can you drop us a pm with SPECIAL bits on the bike?? I get a lot of speedy / america stuff of eBay and you never know..

Id be more than happy to pay a visit on your behalf if something turns up..

I will keep a look out In Ireland for you Gina in case they try to import it here.

Sorry to hear of the loss Gina. I got the PM with the bike details on it and will keep an eye out whilst I'm out and about.

I know it's little consolation but look forward to a new bike from the insurance money.

Although I'd rather have the old one back in good order.

Gina, I hope you get your bike back in perfect working order.

I'm still not at home, and so I'm not entirely convinced the reality of this has set in yet. Yeah, I'm talking new-ish bike - it'll all depend on what I get as an insurance pay out. Thing is it won't be any where near a replacement value...

There is a part of me that hopes I get him back. I can't replace him. He was/is the last of the spoked bikes - there were 07 spec bikes in the show room when I picked him up.
When I get home and a) I've not had a cider or 5, and b) on a keyboard that's more than 8" wide, I'll pm those in the British Isles that've posted in here and anyone else who lets me know the full details, frame and engine numbers, other petty details that might make the difference. There's a couple of minor things that aren't in this thread so that I can identify it...

And thaks for all your thoughts.... they mean loads...

So sorry about your misfortune Gina, I hope he comes back unscathed and fulled of fingerprints to catch those thieving bastages.

+1. I'd much rather my car be stolen than my bike. It's so personal. I could get another Jeep pretty much like the one I have, but I couldn't replace the bike. I can only imagine how you must feel.

Hope you find it, Gina! Good luck!

america accesories on ebay in Bristol ...coincidence?

Sorry to here about this Gina, hopefully you will get it back.

Gina, sorry to hear about the bike. Hope you do'nt mind, but have put a notification on another site I use.

Do you have a crime number, just incase someone spots the bike or parts of, and are not brave/foolhardy enough to confront this/these scum.

OK then, I've just spent the last 20 minutes or so, pm'ing the people in this post and the people in my address book.

Just called the local plods no news as yet, if you think you've seen anything the Crime Ref number is 67677-09 with the Avon & Somerset Constabulary.

One thing.... the tax disc on it ran out in Nov 08.... I lost the new one!

It's the only picture I've got... and it's before some of the mods.... ie since then the discs were done, the peg hangers changed....

I hope everything works out in the long run for you G-girl.
Uncle Charlie

no consolation i spose but at least youve got another bike to ride. i,ll be lettin the club know an puttin th word around.bike theives are scum.hope ya get it back soon.

I'm sorry Gina. There's not much I can do, but there are alot of people, as you can see, that are pulling for you to get your bike back. I hope the a*# holes are caught and sent to jail and your bike is returned in good condition.

An update, but it's a bit long winded and may seem irrelevant to start with.

2 of the passengers on my train last night were 'local' cops. I say local cos they're from the station 15 miles down the road. I took an instant dislike to them, they asked why and I explained about my 06 being missing. They were discussed with how I've been (not) treated by the local force - like the station .75 miles away..... one of them promised to investigate for me.

I got a call from one of them this morning saying my bike had been reported seen, and had been recovered.

GREAT!!!!

Not great. I called the recovery people and they didn't find it. So now it's been stolen twice.

I'm not gonna say much much as I'm taking legal advice over it, but needless to say I'm even more fed up now than I was before.

Never lose your resolve or your positive attitude. (Easy for me to say, huh?)

Good luck with finding your beloved Triumph very soon.

I think it's gone forever now.

I'm thinking at looking at a Trident on the weekend though.

How about one of them new T-birdies??? Then, you could provide us with some firsthand riding impressions from an actual owner.
