I recently spoke to a tourer who ran into them within the last week or so. The father told him the bike cost $18k and he wanted CoMotion to sponsor the family by giving the bike for free. I saw some of the photos they posted and as I don't know what the situation was at the time but those kids seems to be all over the place and everyone who took them in. One of them sure had a few birthday cakes. It looks as though they milked her birthday from person to person to get something for free. Someone even footed the bill for them to go to the Wild Animal Park in San Diego which cost at least $150. It is nice that people are being generous to help them as well as other tourist but to go out and seek it is taking advantage of others.
