That's not the first time a bike has ended up there.

When I was looking for a zx6r engine there was always a couple for sale in Lithuania.

Hmmm....I've noticed a lot of the second hand parts for the D675 that come up on Fleabay are in Lithuania.

Doesn't surprise me. The lazy, good for nothing old bill said my bikes went straight to the mainland within the first phone call and they had no intention on thinking they were wrong. This is happening all the time and yet they do feck all checks at our boarder. We could elminiate a fair few problems just with doing the correct job. That's not impossible, is it?

Thousands of containers leave our shores every day. You can't check them all. Thieves and smugglers rely on that.

Plus it's rare for the authorities to be concerned over what is leaving the country, as opposed to who/what's entering it....they leave the former for the other country to deal with, which makes absolute sense to me.
