Terminally ill tourist has motorbike stolen in Edinburgh on the same day he arrived

An American tourist with a terminal lung condition had his motorbike stolen less than 24 hours after arriving in Edinburgh.

Brett Anderson, an airline pilot from Virginia, came to the capital on a motorbike tour of Europe while he was still well enough to ride. However, after coming back from dinner with a friend, he found his bike had been stolen less than a day after he arrived.

The 55-year-old was recently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and decided to “fulfil some bucket-list” rides while he was still well enough to do so. The pilot has always ridden motorcycles and had a dream of biking around Europe.
