DIRTBIKE ANTI-THEFT WEBSITE
(From: James Horsnell)
Dear Dirtbiker,
We have recently started a website which we hope will be at the forefront of fighting the increase in dirtbike theft.
Our website is trying to gather worldwide a database of bike models, engine and frame numbers and list them with the owners name and basic details.
In future we would hope that when people plan to purchase a second hand dirtbike that they run a check on our site to see if the bike is stolen or not and that the person selling the bike is the rightful owner. At this stage we are limited with the service we can provide by the amount of bikes currently registered on the site. In a perfect world we would have every dirtbike in the world registered on the site and people purchasing a second hand bike wouldn't hand over their money until the bike is checked with our site and given the all clear. By sending you this e-mail we hope that you check out the site and inform as many fellow dirtbikers of its existence and to encourage you and others to join the site.
If we have the backing of the dirtbike community we will surely make an impact on bikes being stolen, remember yours or anyone's bike can be stolen at anytime. If this website succeeds in its aim its going to make life very hard for dirtbike thieves to sell a stolen bike second hand and may shut them down altogether.
Registering a bike is free so join today together we can make a difference.
Regards,
James Horsnell

P.S. I can't get the address to work, so I don't know if it is operational yet.
