Forgot all about this :rofl:
A MOTORCYCLIST who is halfway through his world-wide tour has had his motorbike stolen in Swansea.
Martin Williams, 53, left Newcastle in Australia in July after planning to ride his motorcycle round the world.
He arrived in Swansea in November with the plan to spend Christmas with his father and two sons.
Mr Williams said he was visiting Swansea and staying with his father.
He said: “I grew up in Swansea and spent 20 years here so was really excited about coming back to visit.
“It is very much my home town and I had a great family Christmas and New Year.”
However when Mr Williams woke up yesterday morning (Tuesday, January 14) ready to continue his travels and ride down to Africa, he found his bike had gone missing.
He said: “In all my travels I haven’t had any bad experiences until now.
“I found a cut chain and my luggage thrown on the ground with no sign of the bike.
“I think it may have been pushed into the back of a van because there are marks.
“I am feeling really numb and am in shock.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet.”
Mr Williams bike was chained up on Langland Court Road.
He describes his 650cc Kawasaki bike as white, blue and green coloured with an Australia number plate of NSW 37.
He said: “It is a proper travel bike built for tough roads.
“I had modified it in order to be able to travel round the world.
“I have had it for about seven to eight years and done a lot of travelling on it.
“I was supposed to be heading to Morocco and Africa today but now my plans are all up in the air.
“I was planning to travel for six months, return to Australia and then travel some more but now I have no idea what to do.
“It is awful news and now all I am hoping for is my bike to be returned to me.”
Come to swansea.... where someone would steal the steam off your shit :lol:
