Round the world biker has machine stolen hours after arriving in.....................

Banjo String

Dublin. :mad:

Feel so sorry for this bloke. Made it 30,000 miles across Russia and Europe only to have his bilke robbed soon after arriving in Dublin FFS.

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.

This lad makes it across the madness that is Russia, and various other Eastern European countries, but gets his bike robbed here

Just atarting this thread in the hope that someone will (hopefully) spot his bike, and it and his other posessions can be returned to him.

Only 21 years old, so fairplay to him attempting such a feat at such a young age.

Heres hoping he will be reunited with his bike soon and he can carry on, on his once in a lifetime adventure:)

A bird in the hand, is worth "Biker".

O'Connell street area is like something out of Shaun of the dead these days. A junkie infested kip and full of scumbags amongst the ordinary decent people. Feel sorry for this lad to have his bike stolen after coming so far.

I do wholeheartedly sympathise with the biker, and hope his bike and belongings can be recovered soon. Sometimes quotes can help make sense of things, help see things in a different light.

Clampers probably stuck it on the back of their truck.

They should ship them into Wexford and straight through to Cork, bypassing trouble spots completely.

North or south side?

Wasn't there a similar story only a few months back - some tourist dude arrives in Ireland only to have transportation nicked within hours - the land of a thousand welcomes and all that

I watched a docu recently about demolishing buildings. Cool. Then they visited Dublin and i thought this would be interesting, being in Ireland and all.
Shortly before demo time they had to stop the countdown because some "lads" had broken INTO the cordoned off area! So the Irish were made fools of in front of everyone and now it has happened again with this lads moto.
I'd like to think our Great Leaders would sort him out with something and save face but i doubt it'll happen. This kind of thing left unfixed will cost us way more than a motorbike in lost tourism revenue.

Fukin scumbags need to be sterilised.

what you think Enda and the likes will come out and get him a new bike?
Never happen, they couldn't possibly care less.

Be a good opportunity for some free publicity for the likes of Honda/BMW/Kawa etc. etc. etc. Ireland though.

I am sick and tired of the robbing scumbags in this country! They never get caught and when they do they're let off!

Did your idea to build a house and give it away to someone in need ever take off? (Honest question)

Those bikes are like less than 10k. Ireland could actually redeem itself on this one...

I'm serious about the 10 quid, we could replace his bike if 999 boardsies do the same..I just don't have the time to organise it.

I'm surprised the organisation that the OP mentioned haven't organised that. If they did I'd help too. The more I mull this over, the more sorry I feel for the poor guy.

Why would Ireland need to redeem itself? Man gets property stolen. A story written thousands of times a day throughout the world.

What doe you suppose his current assessment is of his experience so far. A chance to really make someone's bad experience into an amazing one.

Still don't see why Ireland should redeem itself here? Such a bizarre concept. Hope the dude gets his bike back, but it's not on anyone other than the people that decided to steal it.

You confirm to the stereotype though...someone has a positive idea and you spend time tearing it apart on the basis of some imagined slur...

Count me in pal!
Where will I send my €10?

Was the bike not insured, a gold card for coppers is what he needs.

They done him a favour, there wasnt a hope in hell he was getting around the world on that thing..Im sure after all the publicity the government will offer some of our fine taxpayers money to fund another-better bike to do the job!

Why am I not surprised it happened in Dublin?

vicwatson

This serves him right for two reasons -

What's he doing leaving his bike fully loaded at the corner of Aston Quay and O'Connell bridge - asking for trouble*

He has a name I find difficult to say quickly - Rohan Felmingham*










* Joke, hope the poor f**cker finds his bike soon

CrazyRabbit

Finglas. That's where I'd start looking. Same place my last 3 ended up. Not sure about the bike before those, but thankfully the first one stayed in Ballyfermot (D10) where I was living at the time. It made a lovely small bonfire which was nice as it was quite cold out.

If we met in bar I'll be happy to buy a guy beer or two, so I am ready to help the same if there is any way to to so? Brave man, I hope we can make him have some happy memories from Ireland anyway.

Hi, the biker he is currently staying with put up his Paypal account in this thread. He not only lost the bike, but all his clothes. He's only 21 too...
