Please keep your eyes open for them.  ---------- Post added 02-10-2014 at 18:42 ----------  The bike belongs to a dear friend and was stolen from Meersbrook Avenue, probably by people using a van, last Friday.  All bikes are important to their owners, but this one has a very special significance to my friend, and she's heartbroken at its loss.  It has a Welsh dragon sticker on the front, a Che Guevara sticker, a large grille and metal panniers (or maybe not). It's pretty easy to spot, and it's clearly still here in Sheffield.  ---------- Post added 02-10-2014 at 19:10 ----------  Please note, this bike may have been sold on to someone unaware that it was stolen. Please, please, if this is you or someone you know, help us get it back to its rightful owner. Edited October 4, 2014 by cosywolf Added time.

LeMaquis   10 #2 Posted October 2, 2014 Please note, this bike may have been sold on to someone unaware that it was stolen.  I'm sure that it would never occur to anyone who buys a motorbike from someone in Gleadless that it may have been stolen.

cosywolf   10 #4 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Turns out there were two people on the bike, both male. Possibly a father and son.  Bev, who the bike belongs to, took it on a journey from the Canadian border down through South America. They've had plenty of adventures together. It's even been stolen and found once before through the wonders of social media and fab Sheffielders. Let's bring it back to her again  I've added photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r7ie84x2qgy7fi2/AADaqr2z8lWFCTVzAY6rLRKWa?dl=0  ---------- Post added 03-10-2014 at 09:50 ----------  Possibly seen heading toward Chesterfield on the Dronfield bypass this morning (3rd oct)at 8ish so keep your eyes peeled if you are that way  ---------- Post added 03-10-2014 at 10:02 ----------  What really pxxxxs me off is that they feel like they can steal it and drive it around the same area they stole it from without any consequences.

esme   10 #5 Posted October 3, 2014 That's a nice bike, hope you get it back soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cosywolf   10 #6 Posted October 3, 2014 Thank you, esme.  It is infuriating to know it's being driven around so close to where it was stolen. By the looks of journeys they've been spotted on, possibly even commuting to Chesterfield and back.  The friend whose bike it is did manage to force them to stop when she saw them on the Bochum Parkway, but they quickly sped off again, and because it was a teenager on the back, she didn't want to cause an accident. We have to presume they're very well aware it's stolen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hotrock   10 #9 Posted October 3, 2014 I could have swore I saw this bike minus the panniers on the link road between Park Grange Road and Granville Road, (Norfolk Park Road) traveling towards Granville Road tonight around 17.30hrs, we were parked in the Goals car park, and it was very noticeable in colour, size and make, it could be deliberately using all the local back roads, if it was the same one!!!!
