Round-the-world biker has bike stolen in Dublin
Quote from The Journal
Gardaí are searching for a 2011 Yamaha Tenere that was last seen near O’Connell Bridge.

AN AUSTRALIAN TOURIST who was riding a motorcycle around the world had some bad luck as his Yamaha Tenere was stolen just hours after arriving in Dublin.

Brisbane native Rohan Felmingham had just completed a 30,000 ride across Russia and Europe when he landed in the city last Tuesday.

The bike, a 2011 Yamaha Tenere, was last seen at the corner of Aston Quay and O’Connell Bridge between 5pm and 9pm while the 21-year-old was trying to sort out accommodation arrangements. It was loaded with all of his possessions, except the bike gear he was standing in, his helmet and his rucksack containing his travel documents and laptop.

Motorcyclist enthusiasts have come together to try and help Felmingham. They say it is the third such incident where long-distance motorcycle tourers have had their machines stolen.

On hearing the news about the Austrlian, members of the Irish section of the UKGSer motorcycle forum met to offer support, help and guidance. MAGIreland has also included information on its site and tried to mobilise extra assistance.

Various biking forums are actively looking out for the missing Yamaha. Anyone with any information is asked to Pearse Street Garda station on 01 666 9000."

Again? In fairness, I live in Dublin and wouldn't park my bike most places in town without a big chain to a big pole. Too many scrotes around.

Defies belief, this does. It's quite obvious to these dopes that someone's life is tied up in these bikes. Makes me sick to my stomach to think that these people are unscrupulous enough to do this.

Is anyone organising a whiparound? 2 boardsies are in for €10 each.

Thread on AH...

Are MAG Ireland doing anything, if not perhaps boards bikers could?

No, I'd help someone in trouble out in an act, but no way will I give money to someone who's had his bike nicked. Besides, give the money to who exactly?

That's what I'm trying to find out...is anyone raising a few quid for the poor bastard. I doubt he has theft insurance for round-the-world.

.....may your road be long and trouble-free, that's all I can say to that.

As a nation it's bloody disgraceful that this happen. We can safely say now that Ireland is someplace to be known avoid if you're a world-traveller.

PP done as well.

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Yeah, I do have a belief in cosmic karma (man), and the hope that if I get in a spot such as this, my small help to others will be repaid.
