God Save the Machine: Custom Harley Stolen in England
Theft of badass bike from inn near Devon leaves owner’s heart broken, has police seeking info on its whereabouts.
As we all know, the absolute worst thing that could happen to our Harleys is to walk out to ride one day, only to find all of our hard work, time, and creativity gone. With help from the police and our community, there’s always hope our beloved bikes are returned in one piece, give or take a few scratches.
Let’s hope this will be the case here, as well. DevonLive.com says the Devon & Cornwall Police, located in Exeter, England, have asked the biking community for information on a custom Harley stolen from an inn a couple of nights ago.
The Harley is an orange-and-black custom with ape hangers and a handful of other mods. According to a Facebook post from D&C Police, investigating officer Phil Johnson, the custom Harley “was stolen at around 7.15pm on Tuesday 4 September from outside the Dartbridge Inn on the A384 near Buckfastleigh,” located just 15 miles southwest of Exeter on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park.
The images above are the two images D&C released via Facebook to help bring the custom Harley back, a bike that “has a huge sentimental appeal” to its heartbroken owner, per Johnson. Johnson adds that he hopes the large community of motorcycle enthusiasts in the area and beyond “will look out for each other and keep their eyes peeled for this bike.”
D&C Police are seeking any information on the missing bike and can be contacted via email at 101@dc.police.uk.
