FlashingPedals Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 F@!#@K... That is one nice looking bike... Sorry for your loss man. Hope you get it back. Will also keep an eyeout..Good luck
jamiecanter Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hope you're alright man. I use this road all the time on weekends but will now have to find another route to Blouberg. Will keep a look out.
Juddy Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Wow that's a stunning bike, and @Pure Savage is right there isn't many of those around in South Africa. if the word gets out to all the shops ect.. i am sure it will be found, someone will bring it in for a service or evaluation or something. It will turn up. Just get the word out... P.S hope its insured.
mon-goose Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 that sucks, awesome bike. glad you're ok though. I'd stay away from that area unless I'm with a few people and even then I'd worry. I don't like driving there in a car
Snytjie Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hi Jaco, Bad incident. Could you give us some more details on the bastards' modus operandi?
wolver Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Sorry to hear. Awesome looking bike! Also interested to hear more about the incident. 17h30, although starting to get a little dark at this time of year, is pretty much peak traffic time and would think that is a busy intersection. Was there nobody around when the incident happened?
stringbean Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Anton Wynand lbs mechanic in Blouberg on his way home from work got attacked by 2 guys with knives.Yes there were people driving past but unfortunately here in SA no one wants to get involved.
stringbean Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Bike didn't have the rovers on but his set of training wheels.
gummibear Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Eish....awesome looking machine that. Hope it gets recovered soon. Hope Anton is ok.
Pah Bear Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Wow. I do that Sandown Rd route at least once a week on my way through Kontemans Kloof or Botasig. Ouch. Glad you can at least tell the tale.
mbcmarais Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Unique bikes are usually broken up and sold as parts. The metal frames are sold as scrap metal and carbon frames gets broken up and thrown away. If your bike was stolen, always check out the classifieds as you might identify parts of your bike there.
Yazied1701 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Very seldomely will people brake a carbon frame if it too unique nd the thieves knows this this will have it resprayed. And those guys from dunoon don't have much resources to get rid of the bike so they Wud sell it for next to nothing to sum1 as ease. U cud try looking at cash crusaders etc as that's Kwik cash. Nd is Ur bike insured atleast.
