An $80,000 (P3,600,000) motorcycle stolen in Texas last year from Hollywood screenwriter Skip Woods has been recovered in the southern Philippines, officials said Thursday.
The custom-made chopper was found Tuesday by police in Cagayan de Oro city, said Jose Justo Yap, regional director for the National Bureau of Investigation.

His chopper was among 14 motorcycles, three all-terrain vehicles, two SUVs, a sports car, a shotgun and ammunition for assault rifles recovered by police in raids in Cagayan de Oro and nearby Bukidnon province, Misamis Oriental provincial police Chief Graciano Mijares said.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation sought assistance in the recovery of Woods' motorcycle, Yap said.
An American private investigator representing Woods said the screenwriter was surprised that his motorcycle, which was stolen from the parking lot of his condominium in Houston, Texas, ended up half way around the world.
Woods was "really congratulatory. He is more than pleased," said the investigator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe is ongoing.
Police are looking for a Filipino who was selling the motorcycle online, Mijares said.
Yap said the man faces illegal firearms possession and smuggling charges.
If I were the police, I will contact now the one who organized of the Motorcycle Convention to locate who registered this motor.
That's good to know that they are able to recover those bikes. Such a shame that the carnapped bikes were able to claimed in Cagayan de Oro. Well, the Custom should be investigated as well.

It's a wonder how it reached the Philippine shores, let alone being sent unnoticed.

I am very much interested in mechanical works and I also do repairing of my bike at home. But If I get some problem then I see its solution online, this time I am looking for a discussion with a bike mechanic.
