DSC67 1,452 Posted September 4, 2021 I don't know what the market is for second hand engines , carbs and the like is , but I'd imagine it's going to be very small , speedway is a niche sport the parts aren't interchangeable with other bikes they're bound to turn up somewhere. The tools etc will be very easy to get rid of though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TINYS 275 Posted September 4, 2021 Hope everything is recovered very soon and hope the culprits are found as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted September 4, 2021 Do riders normally insure their bikes or at the very least their tools? Seems a sensible option to me. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Stadia 1,062 Posted September 4, 2021 One of the drawbacks of having all that sign writing on your van! A plain colour van would seem a safer option to me! 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petecc 351 Posted September 4, 2021 Agree with the sign written van's comment. Why advertise what might be inside. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tools etc will be very easy to get rid of though It was upwards of half a ton of scrap metal. The same type of person who vandalised the Birmingham track equipment, or who steal church roofs.

I know riders have to display sponsor logo's etc, but surely there could be a more discreet way of doing so. Having images of bikes and so all over a van is a written invitation for such robbing scum. I hope he gets his bikes back but perhaps this should serve as a warning to other riders about the images they display on their vans. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
