The lifted lid returns...

A while ago we were informed that our sponsored Supersport racer Dan Cooper had his van broken into, and his lid lifted.



We jumped in straight away and posted it around the 'social networks' to get help from UK bikers to help find the villain - or at least Dan's treasured Arai. Now guess what?

The last BSB round at Oulton a member of the public turned up with the stolen helmet in a carrier bag, the unsuspecting gentleman had bought the helmet off Ebay paying £300 for the privilege as Dan's helmet carried the "Help for Heroes" logo on the chin bar-  he thought this was being sold in aid of the "Help for Hero's" charity!

It was only after he received the helmet from the Ebay seller that one of his friends pointed out that he had seen this helmet reported as stolen on various forums, the gentlemen decided to return the stolen helmet to Dan and would not let Dan even cover the cost of the money he had paid to the thief!!


As you can imagine Dan is over the moon to get his treasured helmet back.


Warms the heart on a cold winter's day that!
