Really sorry to hear about that, Ian. It tears your guts out when something like that happens. I'd be watching eBay closely in the coming weeks. Any distinguishing features on the bike?

thanks mango. It had a bit of damage down the left side where I had a bit of a prang. Other than that a lovely low mileage 130000 bike that gave me no trouble at all.
Had blue flame exhausts. Oh and was gonna need a back tyre in a week or so!!! Bastards such is life!!!!

I'm probably in the wrong part of the country but I'll keep my eyes open.
Really feel for you.
I had a bike nicked while I was at work (many years ago) - I recall it's a bit of a shock and a bit of a gut-wrencher.

That's really bad news Ian, so sorry mate.
Not exectly the best Christmas present is it.
I know how you feel, fortunately never had a bike stolen, but "lost" 3 or 4 cars some years ago!
We'll all keep a look out on eBay etc..

gutted for you mate
and start trawling ebay every day
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Arse!
I've spent a couple of painful hours in St Georges in the past, and I feel your pain now.
Hope it gets sorted.

bugger!

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
