Turned up on Trademe last week, police went round and 'collected' it. Turns out he'd sold the wheels so they went and got those back as well. Didn't quite get to asia only Howick.

Big to the Taupo and Howick Police for sorting it out. Guy's been charged with recieving and the bikes pretty much like it was so i'm pretty stoked.

Glad to hear you got it back

Have you had an insurance payout? and what have you been riding for the last 6 months.

No State Insurance didn't pay at all. (and we'd got as far as a figure for payout before they decided that they'd fucked it up somewhere along the line and it wasn't actually covered as has been previously disscussed here).

I ended up getting an Anthem XO which I :love:

and has been a great progression into more serious racing.

that's great news!

interesting there was a 6 month break, I guess they thought it would be forgotten by then?

Also shame on State for not paying out.
