Oh that F'n sucks....ANYONE who steals a bike,(or anything for that matter),needs to DIE the most horrifying,painful death known to man!!.
Sad part is,there's probably more that got stolen over the weekend,seeings how half of New England was at Southwick....leaving all kinds of un-atended innocent bikes to be stolen.
I'm in SE Mass,so I probably won't hear anything,but if I do,I'll let you know!!
-
Thanks. And you are 100% correct slow and painfull, :x and they hope the cops get them first not me and my buddy.
My wife looked out at 9:30 it was there, When I came home from NHMS at 10:15 it was gone, chain and locks on the ground. WTF
If the/my timing was better I would have run them over with the one ton dually and 46 ft of trailer. :-D
And I hated missing the wick :-(

Not that it makes that much difference,because if a thief wants something bad enough,chances are,they're gonna do whatever it takes to get whatever it is....but this is the main reason I keep mine locked-up in my living room with my dog....and two monster locks through the front rotor,and two through the rear sprocket.If they want it...they're gonna have to work for it!!
-
It was out front for sale. Yes your right, I have pics of mine in the motel room in indy, conn, ohio everywhere I raced and stayed at a motel.
Slept in the trailer with the bikes in providence for the amt supercross, under I95.
A lock will keep a honest man out, a S&W can and will make a honest man of you.

Really sorry for your buddys loss, some POS just wanted your bike more than you. Takes a lot of balls to steal a bike out in plain view. The stolen bike probably won't show up on CL or ebay because any new owner that wan'ts to register the bike will immediately see a red flagged VIN. That bike will most likely be sold off locally or stripped for parts. Watch EBay for '11 KX450 parts (peticulary the complete engine). Alls you can do is keep asking around and raising awareness. I've found most ME folts to be totally upstanding theft is rare in ME . Unfortunately MX bikes are the easiest target, locked via chain or not...

that sucks!!will keep my eyes open up here in central maine for ya's...thieves should have their hands cut off!! then.. problem solved!!! :wink:

I feel for you brother.
This may be a time for all of us to reflect on the value of our toys.
I checked with my homeowners insurance company and they do not cover bikes even if they are stolen from within a locked garage.
The insurance to cover them was only about 50 per year.
Food for thought, what's your bike worth?
-
Mine are ins as are my race cars, fire and theft but it's closer to $280 a year ea for 10k coverage. Bikes about $50

I hate a friggin' thief! This happened to me 4yrs ago and I am still looking for it. If those cops are like ours,you will surely find them first. Our county sheriff dept. is such a joke. They would rather harrass an elderly widow doing 5 over , than look for stolen property or shut down meth labs.

Getting stuff back yourself is about the only way to do it, my son had a Diamondback bike stolen when he was a kid. We reported it & got the "yeah F you we aint doing anything about it" line. We even had it registered with them.
Anyway I just kept my eye open when cruising around town. Spotted a little bastard riding it with all the stickers stripped off, yanked him off it & said that aint yours wanna go talk to the cops? s**t just took off running.
If you know where it is & your possitive take a friend whos willing to hold a shotgun & just go get the thing. Make sure its someone who'll have youre back. Most people like that arent going to want the cops involved so their guilt is on your side. Watch the local riding areas & keep the vin on hand sometimes people are just stupid enough to ride it.
Along the line of getting someone to go with you to get it, you oughta hear Roosters story about dealing with Stewart. There's alot of stand up guys in the riding community who will have your back. I'd suggest hitting some of the bigger sites like ADV riders & thumper talk to try to get the word out to as many local people as possible. Hit some of the local shops with a poster , if someone see's a guy who just got a new bike that hes riding like he stole it or trying to move the parts... Wish you luck
-
also put an ad in the local classifieds, craigslist etc that the bike was stolen, and from where. you'd be suprised who will rat out who.

I heard of a situation like this.
It's sad but the police were also not interested.
So the guy went to Walmart, bought a throw away cel phone with cash, and made a urgent 911 call describing how he saw a guy being stabbed in the storage facility where the stolen bike was being kept, and quickly hung up.
Then he cleaned the phone and tossed it.
The police quickly arrived and upon not finding anyone stabbed they left without checking for stolen property :roll:
So, the next day he did the same thing only this time he said someone was shot..
Well the police did arrive and apparently got the hint because they started snooping around and found several stolen items including the bike.
The good news was the guy got his bike back.
The bad news is he got caught for making the 911 calls.
He ended up getting some community service time.

I'm 48 years old, if I need to go to jail to prove my point I will. I could use the vaca time and 3 meals and a roof too.
one town over, less than 6 mi from here and my town cops can't the county cop won't call me back, time to go for a ride. :evil:

I put reward posters at every gas station and nailed them on nearly every tree within a 20 mile radius of my house.
No Squealers!
My posters read: $500.00 for the return or info on the bike.
$1000.00 for the bike and the thief.( no questions asked ).

Hit the shops Talk to actual riders Joe Blow dont give a s**t about your noise making wheelie machine :-D

Found Found Found
It's been found, It's a lot rougher than it was though. I can't say alot about it right now publicly. But we got a good paper/drug trail on who's involved. And if you do me wrong I'm the biggest
a-hole you want to meet, guess it's time to meet them. :-o :-)
Thanks to CJ and all others that helped look for this M/C

That's good news!!...not too often you get lucky enough to recover a stolen bike.
I had an 88 KX250 stolen from me in 91,I was devastated....to this day it still furiates me to know that someone stole,molested...and raped my baby,that I had owned since new.I was not lucky enough to get it back....but I'd still hurt whoever took it badly to this day,if I ever found out who it was.
-
Excellent news!
Let us know what happens..
-
Wow, that's awesome ! At first i didn't understand your 450 txt you sent me, now I remember. Kudos to all who helped ! You almost NEVER rightfully find a stolen bike. Your buddy must be so jacked (on severall different levels :evil: )

If it is insured sometimes it is better to not get it back rather then get it back all hosed up. My brothers very nice 1957 Chev was stolen many years ago. He got it back, but not before the kids that took it went stump jumping with it. He got it back, bent A arms, front fenders and all. This was long enough ago so they were the ‘beaters’ of the era, only liability insurance, so all he got was a pile of used parts from the kid that took it to replace the bent items. Sucked.
My year old Honda Interceptor was stolen twice out of my carport, but was found up the street on its side the first time. After the idiots tore the three wires out of the ignition switch ($75) and still could not start it they just dumped it. Snapped off the head lock too. Jerks. Second time it was further away, but still just an ignition switch replacement. Still pisses me off.

The ins co won't give us first refusal on bike. :x Anyone know how to find out where the ins co sends their bikes to auction??
Like the guy that gave me the info on it, to get it if poss.

My experience with the insurance company is that they all do it differently, even within the same company as it depends on where they are located.
Best thing to do is call and ask them nicely.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...

How did the ins company end up with the bike ? Did'nt the police confiscate and impound the bike or are the police not involved ?
