I'd bet he's dead. If it was health, he'd call 911. May be he was robbed by a hooker and her pimp, and it went bad, but more likely it was someone that wanted the bike? I just don't see how he can leave without his ID and other stuff willingly. I wonder if the hotel has video. A lot businesses do now and cops will check video from surrounding businesses to see if a perp shows up on it. Then again, it's it's barney fife, we may never know what happened.

Some arsehole with a gun probably took this poor bastards life.How does that sit with you.If he had a gun he could have shot back.If the other fuckers never had guns,they would'nt have robbed him in the first place.

Not true. Strong arm and knife based robberies instead. The tool doesn't commit the crime, nor does it foment crime. People adapt to their circumstances and criminals do too.

While you are less likely to be shot to death in the UK, you are much more likely to be a victim of crime and even violent crimes. Rape rate is over double the US.

If it was robbery, kidnapping, or murder, it probably is more than one suspect. Pretty hard to shot a guy and take his bike along with his body, or force him against his will to either drive or ride on the back of the bike. I bet he went to his bike and surprised a couple of guys trying to load the bike into a van.
Poor bugger.

A bit of lateral thinking.The bloke has ditched his Harley,along with his identity.And rode off on a Nomad.

Well, that's one way to convince the wife you meet with foul play and get away to start a new life.
