Hi eveyone,

I am new to the world of Trials.... & a late starter too ~

Just wanted to inform the Bike World of an unhappy story.

On the 18th of November I collected a '94 Gas Gas 250 from Cheshire that I had bought from an online site. The bike looked great & was just what I was looking for.

I stayed at a friends house overnight in Nuneaton on my return journey. The horror when I saw the empty trailer in the morning.

I had reversed the trailer & the car along side the house so that the trailer could not be taken. I had not given any thought to the fact that the bike could be lifed off the trailer & over the car.........

Take notice all other new boys.... Get a BIG CHAIN to secure your pride to your trailer!

I'm sorry to hear your story Peter, let's hope that it turns up.
A rude awakening as to how light a modern trials bike is (74/5 kg?), which is quite easy for two men to lift.

any chance you were followed ?

might be a place to start looking !

mention to the police who you bought it from, they may be known.

just a thought.

Yes... a ruda awakening for sure! Live & learn...sometimes the hard way~

I thought that there were three types of men...those that can count & those that can't~

Thanks for the idea! I think it was unlikely that I was followed on this occasion as the circumstances would have been quite a challenge. But then even more obvious~

Thanks Peter~

Thats really bad luck mate, have to say though, don't leave your bike anwhere where it can be seen no matter how many chains you use.
