I posted an ad on Craigslist in Portland saying that I wanted GSXR front end parts and this guy calls me and asks me what parts I need.  Then he's like "Well... I can get you the front end off a GSXR but I can't be sure of what year it is and it might take a little while..."  I was like "How long?" and he was like "Awwww....well sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes it takes a couple weeks."   :roll:

I bet a good portion of the bike parts on ebay are hot...especially the complete front ends, complete motors, etc...lazy crooks can't even break 'em down into individual components.... :guns:

Don't flatter yourselves.  This does not apply to us.
The city is full of "RUBS" (rich urban bikers) so I never worry
about my GS being stolen.  That's why I take my GS into Manhattan and not my "expensive" DL650.

I love my GS and if someone does not want to steal a GS they just don't know a cool bike when they see it. 8)  I guess riding a GS is what it takes. :cheers:

To anyone that wants to steal my GS I say to you.....BRING IT ON FUCKER! :nana:  :nana:  :nana:  :nana:  :nana:
