Well comrades, long time no post, wish it would be a nice cheery summery looking forwardy one but alas - the R6 was lifted off the driveway while I slept and is (most likely) no more than a collection of bolts and postings on eBay.
Please be kind to down in the mouth riders on beat down 50cc scoots - I am soon to join their ranks :o(
Fully alarmed, immobilised, disc locked and only 12 inches from my living room window in a residedntial area - grrrrr - would have been worth losing the bike to catch them in the act and take my basball bat to a couple of heads…
sorry to hear this. I hope you manage to get a replacement bike, don’t worry your insurance company will cough up and then you can buy a shiny new one. Feel for you.
Cheers all - think I will have the T-Shirt made up! :lol: Have cheered up a bit now, but was s@ddin devestated the past couple of days!
Will try my best to get as much out of the insurance as poss, but even still it’ll leave me about a grand out of pocket, so shiny/new/powerful things are going to live in a galaxy a long way away for the time being - ho hum…
Adam - I’m with you man, the only thing that got me to sleep the past couple of days is the prayer that that the front tyre could suffer an act of God during a 100mph corner and spit the sod where he deserves to be.
Still be about guys - just wont be able to keep up… :o)
Know how you feel my friend? Had a busa nicked same way, just parked outside our front garden? It was only there cos we got new car and put that away in the garage…then he was late for work and on night shift so left it outside just for the night…they turned up about 3am (actually they had been sitting in their van for ages apparently, just waiting)…there were 3 of em and they just lifted it with alarm going, lights flashing the lot…by the time i got out, and i was alone…they had gone. And we couldnt get the insurance cos it wasnt in the garage! So now both bikes are at back of house, behind bolted and padlocked gate, alarmed, chained down and with trackers! Oh and ive got a bull mastif guarding em too!! (but HE comes in the house at night)…
Sorry though mate…its a real bummer when that happens. You get up and go to the bike and theres a big space where it sat when you last saw it…
