Just had this e-mail from Paul Massey, my old partner at Trailworld in St Albans:
Thanks everyone for your kind words after those b******s stole our bikes, here are the reg and VIN numbers if anyone does see them about, I doubt it but you never know. The stickers have probably been removed but there will be a clean bit where they were! All bikes are red/white/black except Yamaha which is blue/white!
Honda CRF230 - WA08 OBD - 9C2ME09A07R900766, Trailworld stickers with '5' on it
Honda CRF230 - HF54 CPZ - 9C2ME09U05R701353, Trailworld stickers with '4' on it
Honda CRF230 - HF05 AXW - 9C2ME09U05R701207, Trailworld stickers with '8' on it
Beta 450 RR - FX06 GEK - ZD3E1020060000871
Honda CRF230 - WA08 OBE - 9C2ME09AX7R900810, Mint as not used much! All original sticker kit and panels, 'Ladygome Rules' on number plate, '69' stickers on front and side panels
Yamaha WR250 - FX07 FNU - JYACG22W000002812, Danger UK sticker kit, rubber socks on front forks, blingy petrol cap, contour black pro taper handlebars, blue bolts on wheels, no air filter in it as it was in the wash! Led lights. (If I have missed anything I am sure Luke will add to the list, lol)
Cheers guys and girls

Just a heads up if anyone is offered or see one of these for sale to give me a ring on 07786 292951 or PM me as I have Paul's contact details. This is the second time Trailworld have had bikes stolen and I really feel for the guys. Trying to keep the business going is hard enough in these times without having half your fleet nicked. CRF230's and Beta 450RR's aren't that plentiful so you never know - they may end up down this way.
Thanks for your interest, Andy
