Cars 10-15 yrs old are amongst the most popular to thieves.    Vauxhall Vectra Ford Mondeo Ford Focus Ford Escort BMW 3 Series VW Golf Vauxhall Corsa Vauxhall Astra Ford Fiesta and the most popular of all...   ...Ford Transit (van)                                                                                                                                                                                   

Can't beat a good old transit van... then they drive up to your bike cut the anchor and lift it in the van gone two for the price of one......hang em i say..lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Don't know if they still do (no doubt I am out of touch lol) but at one time they didn't bother with the vans round here they just used to nick the engines and gearboxes out of em.                                                                                                                                                                             

Must be a nice place to park your car or bike around yours Steve ???

Superdream was a luxury bike in it's day Julie. I can remember my brother bringing home a brochure when it first came out and we both sat and drooled over it                                                                                                                                                                              

you can come round and have a drool if ya like, relive your youth! maybe i`ll be out and about on it this summer, hope so!
