montesa4rt Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I've had my garage ram raided last sunday afternoon, 2pm! in broad daylight! cheeky *******s. Basically they reversed a small van into the garage doors several times until it came off. They nicked my 2005 Montesa 4rt and 1992 Aprilia Climber, neither are insured, so Im well p****d off. Please look out for idiots trying to sell these bikes, let me know if you hear of anything. It was a white citreon berlingo van reg YX15 YPK (cloned plates)..whatch out in might be you next!

shyted Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's bloody harsh. Hope you get them back pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montesa4rt Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes, Ive got pictures of the mont, as i had it more or less from new, I dont want to describe on air the features that make it differnent as those could be changed. But because I've had it so long I know every dent & scratch. It is in very good condition, and a particualrly nice bike to ride. I obviosuly have the engine & frame numbers. Im looking on ebay & gumtree, but outsdie that, if anyone out there see's or hears of a 2005 4rt for sale, please contact me and I'll take it from there, all I need is a picture of the bike for sale and I'll know if it's mine. The Aprilia climber was a none runner and basically a project bike, but in one piece. So again, if anyone gets offered a purple & yellow Aprilia climber, let me know who is selling it.

johnnyboxer Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Sorry to hear that, will keep my eyes peeled Were your bikes 'watched' to know they were there, followed home etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montesa4rt Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) The most probable explanation is they followed me home. Keep your eye out for anyone trying to sell a nice 2005 4rt and/or Aprilia Climber parts. Please send me an email on jcss@btinternet.com. Thanks for all your help.
