Last night my blue Suzuki DRZ400s was stolen from outside my home on Rosendale Road. She was attached with a chunky chain to a strong wall anchor but bolt cutters were used. She has massive sentimental value to me as last year I took 12m to ride her solo from London to Capetown on a charity trip and she never let me down. Please keep your eyes out for her. Reg no: RO56 ENF. The police have been informed. Photos attached - please take a look, she is a very distinctive looking bike, only difference to this photo is her seat is now black leather not sheepskin.

Can I also recommend that anyone else with a motorcycle gets a tracker fitted - I didn't have one and would have made it much easier to find her now if I had.

Many thanks

The sighting of the bike on Saturday was around 4.30pm, sadly there is no street CCTV and no local shops have CCTV (ironically the estate agent there used to have it but it was stolen!). I asked at the pub and a few of the punters corroborated that an adventure style bike had been there, just now trying to get hold of the barbers themselves to find out what they know (bike was parked right outside their shop so may have been a customer).

As for the theft itself, no CCTV at all on my street or shops, no residents heard anything...

Morning, sadly no news and having spoken to the barbershop owner on Barry Road, it sounds very much like the sighting on Saturday morning probably wasn't my bike after all (Apparently it had NZ numberplates, solid box luggage which my bike didn't have any of the brackets etc for and knobbly tyres...none of which my bike had last time I saw it and doubt those would be the changes a thief would make). Please do keep your eyes out though as she may well still be somewhere!

Thank you for your support and good wishes, makes this horrible situation feel slightly less awful :-)

PS on a more positive note, the Evening Standard are interested in writing a story about whats happened so if that happens, that'd really help spread the word and get the message out there. Fingers crossed! I need all the help I can get now I've had the official letter from the Police that the "case is closed" due to lack of evidence, CCTV coverage or any other leads...

So sorry to hear this :( ! On the lookout for your bike! I saw a similar one in tulse hill on the weekend & took a photo of the plate to check when I got home but it was a different number to yours. Unless you think they might have changed it?


Best,

Hello, thanks so much for the email - very sadly that doesn't look like her as this bike has indicators (mine have long since broken off!) and a rear rack that doesn't look familiar, so pretty certain it can't be her. Thank you so much for looking out though, I really appreciate it! :-)

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
