Any help appreciated,thanks.Pic of bike on my profile.

Will certainely keep a lookout for it....the lousy ..   So sorry to hear your sad news Sprint...                                                                                                                                                                             

  That's not a good Xmas present Sprint   I hope you get some good news about your bike soon   I'll keep an eye out for it mate   Deepest sympathy for your loss                                                                                                                                                                               

Bloody H, Sprint.....the scumbags. Hope it gets traced soon.                                                                                                                                                                             

Sorry to hear that Sprint -makes me sick when something like that happens. Not good at all . hope it turns up                                                                                                                                                                             

That's a bas**** sorry to here it hope your insurance is OK, although i do know what it feels like to have it stolen but at least it better in winter than summer when you want to be out on it                                                                                                                                                                             

Picked up my blackbird today,leaving it at my friends in le.t as I dare't put it in my garage til its properly secure!                                                                                                                                                                             

oooooh.....a blackbird  

that'll take your mind off things for a while...enjoy 

keep us up to date with finding the sprint                                                                                                                                                                              

  Aww Piers, what rotten news, I hope you get the bike back and any other stuff they took.    I'm curious tho, why were the keys left in the bike?     Did they ride the bike away? Maybe a neighbour heard it leave and can tell you what time that was, just a thought.     Is the cat alright?                                                                                                                                                                                   

Sorry to hear that Piers. Hell would be too good for those scumbags. At least your new toy will be a distraction. Will be good to see it soon!                                                                                                                                                                             

Broke into my house over Xmas and found keys,hence bike stolen from locked garage-knackered 500 quid of alarm system doing it! Also nicked tv's,ps3 etc,either burglars who got lucky with the bike or bike thieves who thought they'd have a few bits as a bonus.no bike paperwork stolen so I don't know what they will do with it.blackbird now in my dads garage in Kent,staying there till my garage alarm sorted and all locks replaced.

As a bonus they may be on cctv as my garage has a camera facing it.                                                                                                                                                                             

Im going to say kids 16/22 year olds bike was a big bonus but cctv will not get them in court, but it  may mean you get to bump in to them one evening if thay will let you see it                                                                                                                                                                              

good choice Sprint i like the Blackbird my self                                                                                                                                                                             

  Most bikes are stolen to order, and shipped off a.s.a.p. or broken down and parts sold to waiting buyers; of which the crim's have a list.   Sadly it's big business.   Fingers crossed that the CCTV footage shows something that can be of use, Piers.                                                                                                                                                                                 

  The CCTV footage may or may not be a bonus Piers   But the fact that you still have the paperwork may prove helpful in the pursuance of an insurance claim   My insurers Carol Nash provided a "DNA"*  kit FOC to mark all major components   It can sometimes help to trap unscrupulous breakers when they try to "part" bikes out   I hope it all works out well for you    At least you have the new Blackbird to console you     * formerly Alpha Dot                                                                                                                                                                                 

Triumph recovered by the police late last night,found in an underground car park in one of the rougher parts of Bradford.Appears undamaged except for a crack in the fairing near the indicator lamp,otherwise much as when it left my garage.As a fairing is £420 plus vat and Triumph have quoted me almost £700 to replace all the locks I'm hoping it stays written off......

  Well it's good to hear its been found   I'll bet they weren't "actively" looking for it though   At least the toerags who left it there haven't got it now   Sounds like a "write-off" alright   Hope you get a good price for the "salvage"   And a decent payout for the theft   Maybe "resurrect" it and sell it on at a bit of profit   Good job you've got the Blackbird to use instead                                                                                                                                                                               

  Nice one Piers
