Hi All,

I’d just like to post this up here as I know there are a lot of honest and honorable landrover owners in Victoria.
A friend of mine who was recently competing at the world super bike championships at Phillip Island had his trailer and entire racing set up stolen by some, lower than low, Scumbag. The bikes owner is gutted as he’d not had the bike very long and had put everything into it over the last few months just to ride at the superbike championship. Every dollar spent on the bike was his own, no sponsorship, just a hard working aussie investing everything in something he’s truly passionate about.
He’s been hard at work over the past few days tracking down video footage from various cameras in the area and so far he has footage of the thieves’ vehicle towing the trailer. The footage is only enough to tell that the vehicle was a white dual cab ute with a snorkel on the passenger side. With a little help from a computer geek friend, we’re hoping to get a better picture and a license plate number.
There is a $2000, and a few cartoons of beer, reward for the return of the trailer and all the gear, even if it is from the people who stole it. No questions asked he just wants to race again…..
Things to look out for would be the trailer, it’s pretty unique as he made it himself and he’s a much better bike rider than he is trailer builder ;). The white rims for the ZX10, they are very rare and they weren’t on the bike when it was stolen, so someone will probably try to move them quickly. The aluminum sub frame was also rare as it was imported from the US.
The link is to the story from the herald sun. It has photos of the bike and the trailer. There is also a facebook page he could be contacted on. Currently he is on his way back to Perth as he has to go to work, however, as he has a lot of family and friends in Victoria they are continuing to look into as many avenues as possible.
We are truly hoping that social media can be a weapon against these sort of people and activities that are such a blight on society.
Any help would be greatly appreciated…….. Oh and well rewarded.....
Regards
