Shared from another forum, hope you don't mind. Gav has spent the best part of 2 years resurrecting his kr1s, reg G480XND, he's had it back on the road for about 8 weeks, then it was nicked this afternoon from Hyde, on the outskirts of Manchester. It's been rebuilt top to bottom, but the distinctive marks are the powder coated frame, reanodised yokes, dubious green brake hoses and general tidiness. Keep your eyes peeled please, this bike has been a labour of love for Gav, he's owned it for about a decade, to say he's heartbroken is an understatement.

So sorry for your mate, the bike looks lovely, he must be so gutted. I saw a video on the internet where a persistant thief had his fingers chopped off with an axe. That needs to catch on over here - only way to stop the scumbags thieving again ! Hope your mate has some luck getting it back Dusty

Cheers Dusty, as I said it's not anyone I know but shared off another forum.
Agree about fingers being cut off though!

That is a sorry tale, I really feel for the Gav and hope he gets his bike back. Quite agree with Dusty, for every offense, chop off a finger, they will get the message eventually!

Hi Andrew 1 finger at a time ?? You are far too benevolent mate The vid I watched didn't get all the fingers at once - the toe rag had to put his hand back on the block so they could get the rest they hadn't got cleanly first time. Zero tolerance for me when it comes to my stuff Hope you are well mate Regards Dusty
