Yesterday, I went to Lee, MA to meet and have lunch with Alpha, AJ, and Pastrami.
I got home at around 8ish. I went to sleep around 9:30 or so... My parents came home at around 10:45pm.
I was working at 10am this morning, and I figure I'll leave the house a little early and enjoy the nice weather. So I leave around 9:30am. I grab my helmet and tank bag. I go outside.
I can't find the bike. Maybe I parked it on the street.
No.
Maybe I parked it behind my sister's bike.
No.
MOTHERFUCKINGASSHOLESSTOLEMYBIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I call the police and have them take a report. That take 1/2 hour.
Then I call the insurance co. I finish that call around 10:45am.
I'm pissed.
dude thats sucks, I hope they find your bike unharmed and fast.
thats suuccchhhh a bummer. ive been makin sure i lock my superhawk up
I actually DON'T want them to find it until I get my insurance check... I'd never know what they did to the poor bike.

HAHA
I was thinking about that too.
The front rim has what looks like curb rash or something...
The leftside plastics are scratched from my fall.
Engine cover on left is scraped up.
Front plastics have a SLIGHT rash on the tip, but NOT noticable unless you look for it, because of the location.
Left mirror a little scratched.
Rear plastics MINOR scratches... REALLY not noticable, even if you look for them... You have to FEEL for them.
I bought the plastics (brand new) for REAL cheap. I never bothered to put them on. So I've got them in my room TRULY taking up space now...
Still pissed tho.
Oh well...
FOR SALE:
TWO 2004 KEYS for an R6.

That really sucks, karma will get the pieces of crap that stole your bike. :2guns:

That's shitty man, thieves suck, but hey, you can use the insurance money to buy my Daytona!!!
Sorry An :cry: I know how much you loved that bike. I hope it works out.

Well... I've been involved with TWO hit and run incidents... and I've had good luck with both. The first time, the g/f in the passenger seat convinced the kid to stop running... (I was chasing them in my VERY CRIPPLED car). The second time, the asshats bailed on foot, and I called the police and had their car impounded.
I've been looking for another bike for the last 6 hours... It's freakin hard... no bikes in the market right now except BRAND NEW.

Thankz man, but I'm not too thrilled about the paint scheme... plus I might try to obtain a 748 or 998 myself.
do you know how long they are going to make you wait before the insurance company will cut you a check?

My understanding is they wait 30 days. Which blows.
Sorry to hear it An.. hope the bastards get found and rot in jail for awhile.
30 days is pretty standard. If that triumph is still around when my insurance pays out I'm seriously considering it, dont really care for the paint, but I'd just get an american flag airbrushed over the brit one and it'd be damn sexxy :thumb:
man, 30 days, thats crap tastic... Hopefully everything goes smooth for you :thumb:

I've heard 30 days too, but that would REALLY suck.
Did something happen to your ride too? Why are you waiting for an insurance payout?
I'm looking right now for another bike. If they find it before the insurance payout comes, I'll sell it.
Think of it as a chance to catch up on post whoring. :)
Seriously, sorry to hear about your bike. You should get a GS ratbike so you don't have to worry because they won't steal it since it doesn't look like it'll run.
Yeah I got hit by a truck :o :o I wont be riding for a few months due to injuries :cry: :cry:
IMHO stay away from the exotics, you couldn't pay me to take that 955 Daytona. Friend of mine rides a Mille and services Duc's for a dealer...parts are a nightmare. Now if you want a status symbol to buck the system they're cool. I know a guy here who has a Daytona 955 and it spends more time being fixed than he get's to ride it. Now if you want true elegance 600cc handling and litre bike find a nice honda 954.
So sorry to hear about your bike, An. I hope karma majorly bites those $%^&@#$ thieves in the @$$! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
I blame AJ, Pastrami, and Alpha...
They just INSISTED that we meet together for lunch/dinner.
After we finished our food, we went outside and sat near the R6. Almost everyone that drove by looked at the bike, and there were a handful of people that honked as us too.
Strange people.
The strangest was a funny looking guy with a funny looking hat walking around the outside of the restaurant.
Creepy.

Yeah... Bluelespaul (Matt) bought my GS. I'm glad she is making a new street rider happy, but I miss the GS days.
actually, I also miss the R6 days too.
Matt, you're from Lee?? Why did you come to meet us too?! You should come into the chat room..if you don't know how..find me on AIM or do a search for the IRC chat..

Thankz Matt.
I've already registered the bike as stolen on sites like www.stolen-bike.com. I'm just hoping that the asshats get what they deserve (and more).
I could say "that's what you get for buying the WORLD'S MOST STOLEN BIKE EVER" but I doubt it'll do little good. Good luck getting it back...if do, sell it, or someone will steal it again. Get a CBR or a GSXR...less GSXR's are stolen than any other supersport.
From what I read GSX-R's are the number 1 stolen bike and the number two was the yammi :dunno_white:. Doesn't really matter either way. if you own a sportbike people will try to steal it.
Hey An sorry about your bike being stolen, hope it works out soon weather they recover it or wright it off as a total loss.
gsxrs come up missing all the time around here :dunno_white:. but yea all sport bikes are at risk now a days :cry:
maybe it's changed by now, but by the end of 2005 the YZF-R6 had become the world's most stolen bike of all time. There were more R6's stolen than any other MAKE.
I think the most stolen would probably coorilate to the most bought. I know that there are a shaZam! ton of the old style r6s out there but not so many of the 06 or newer. Plus, when they finked out on their boasted 15.5k redline, or whatever it was supposed to be a lot of people didn't buy it.
Even if it coorilates with the "most bought' the R6 still has impressive figures. It wasn't just stolen more than any other bike...it was stolen more than any other MAKE.
oh i'm not arguing the point, its just those stats tend to change from year to year a lot.

Yeah... that's gonna be my second purchase.. The first is a new bike.
I called the insurance claim agent. She told me that they give it 30 days (standard) to see if the bike shows up. If not, they write it off as totalled. :cry:
Either way, whatever damage that is done, I'm getting $500 less because of the deductible.
The only trouble with one of those is that someone might consider it a suspicous item & call the bomb squad & they'll come & blow up your bike. :cookoo:
:laugh: Not if you replace the batteries!!! :icon_mrgreen:
I have two of those Xena locks... Nothing like having Xena protect your bike....
(http://infohost.nmt.edu/~val/pix/xena_chakram.jpg)
the real problem with those is if you happen to have a thief as equipped as I am...I have a set and bolt cutters that would rip the thing right off. It'd probably bugger up the rotor, too, but oh well.
Friend of mine had his R6 stolen...he had a real beefy, high dollar disc lock on the bike and he had a chain going through the wheel and rotor tying it to a post or a tree I can't remember. The thief picked the lock on the chain, took the front wheel off and unbolted the rotor, then locked the rotor back to the tree with the chain.
If they want it, they're gonna get it...locks only stop honest people. Best you can hope for is to slow down a thief, but you can never count on that.
The cheaper Xena locks are easier to break off, but it's still hard to get a hacksaw between the disc and the lock... Much less bolt-cutters. The newer ones have a 18mm double locking pin (locks top and bottom). And... The alarm attracts unwanted attention....
But, it still holds true. If someone wants it bad enough, they WILL get it. But, a good disc-lock might just make them look for an easier bike. :dunno_white:
And the real question is... Is it worth $80-$100 to make a thief think twice about stealing YOUR bike?
