Why wasn't this posted straight to the Dumbgeon? You know we can't be having stolen bike threads on Vital.

Lol yeah that's not luck, that's wanting bikes, knowing they'll be there and where. Easier to break into a shipping container than a dealership.

His bike is one of a kind with the light weight kevlar. Last I looked they hadn’t mentioned which port, but if they did it’d give people in that area a chance to keep eye out just in case.

Low life scum bags. Hope they get caught and get what’s coming to them.

Those bikes are probably already on another container to South America or something. Never to be seen again. Very sad.

I'm going to refrain from saying what I really want to say. And with saying that , I'll leave it up to your imagination of what kind of evil thoughts I have going through my head about those people who stole ( I mean probably just borrowing ) all those bikes.

France. Of Course!
That's a piece of shit country (most if it)..
I travel sweden-spain a few times a year with car or rv with bikes in.

Border between Germany and France, fill up the tank, go to the bathroom, stock up on food and don't stop for shit in that country.

You're think of wheelie boy threads. Wheelie boys are a protected species here.

From what i gathered, looks like it happened in La Havre harbour in a place only dockers have access. Le Havre's dockers are one of a kind of mafia. They're dangerous. Too bad for the NC crew, but i guess we'll see the bikes re-emerge soon.

Not sure what GPS tracker technology runs today, but if you dropped one in just one bike's air box you could have tracked the whole lot the second they left the port.

Thanks.

I'll reconsider my statement when you start being polite at the gas stations, at least try to speak English, install real toilets in the rest areas instead of the 17th century floor with a hole in it and stop trying to push people of the highway/Rob rvs when they are sleeping at rest-areas (I don't do that tough)

You do have EXCELLENT roads,, and the smaller communities in southern France is nice.

Anything north of Lyon I don't got shit for tough Smile

Lol typical American. Why should they try to speak English? Maybe you should try and learn some French next time you pass through.

Were the containers loudly marked as Nitro Circus shipping containers?
