    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...

    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.

    Worth a tenner in my book...

    He'll go out in temple bar, get pissed, get laid and suddenly Dublin will be great again!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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...

    I'd say there was a bit of a false sense of being back in the 'civilised' west...

    In fairness it could happen in Galway as well, we have our fair share of skangers and those interested in metal....

    Nothing changes does it .I had 3 motorcycles stolen over the years in Dublin City as well as numerous parts taken off bikes,eg ,mirrors ,spark plug etc .( Spent my first 20 years in Dublin ) .Later spent 22 years in London with never a motorcycle stolen but a mountain bicycle was .Now in Asia 5 years and i can leave my helmet on the bike ,and i know it will still be there when i return ,never mind the bike itself .( i just use a steering lock and not a chain )

    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.

    I lived in Dublin for almost 10 years from around 1994 to 2004. I really enjoyed it but I eventually settled back home in Galway. However I have visited Dublin around 5 or 6 times in the past 4 years and I have to say that it really is turning into an awful awful city. I am surprised the people of Dublin are not up in arms and demanding zero tolerance to the junkies/criminals/gangs etc. O'Connell St and surrounds is an absolutely disgrace - you can see people drug dealing in broad daylight and the Gardai all seem completely blind. I do not like visiting our capital anymore and would advise tourists to avoid it like the plague.
