Yes...... truly unbelievable news. Truly the last ride report for this lady by me.

I get a call today from Inspector Lysch (I think), who asks if I was the previous owner of one x BMW Dakar motorbike. HunnnnhHH? :lol:

Of course yes! So he goes onto tell me about the wonderful Dakar, and what its been up to since we were forcibly parted around about a year and a 1/4 ago.

Last nite, a white guy was going down Old Oak Road in Durbanville (not far away from where it was stolen) on his way to deliver drugs. He was nabbed - great work Policeman! The Narc inspector tells me that he had information that this particular delivery boy was riding a stolen bike, and when he ran the number plate, it belonged to a Hyundia Sedan. They clearly didnt match up.

The lad was put in holding cells, and I went to look at the bike at the DurbanVille police station, opposite Stones. I asked a few questions...

1) So you got the guy huh? Ja
2) I guess you arent holding him here - I mean, this place doesnt have holding cells does it? Actually Ja, it does.
3) So can I....... No, before you ask, the answer is no.


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Too funny. The fellow added on quite a few things to the bike, and had crashed it more than a few times. It was easy for me to ID the bike, because of one or two marks I had put on it. Here are some photos of her today, shes worse for wear for sure.
