“It’s a huge inconvenience for us,” said Bruce Parker, a senior motorcycle instructor.

The truck was used to haul motorcycles to training courses throughout the area. Submitted

“We have a trailer that holds 14 motorcycles and we have quite large classes, so the trailer is full.

“That means we’ll have to come up with another plan to move the bikes to our courses.”

The truck has a distinct paint job and also had the society’s decals on it as well.

Parker said police think the theft was methodically thought out, and that the truck could be used to steal something else, such as a boat.
