bought 2002 yamaha R1. stolen 6 days later

[TINKRD]

i haven't riden hard (on a bike at least) in about 9 years. i got the itch a few weeks ago and started looking around. bike is in pretty good condition. needs new tires and the owner said the previous owner laid it down and never fixed the fairings. the scratches aren't that bad (you can see them on the right side)so i'll probably leave it be for awhile. its got some gay stickers here and there i'm going to pull off. apparently LED's and shit are popular now on bikes? its got those which i'll pull off. gonna lower it and stretch it. i think i'm too old to stunt anymore. lol fuck that. fuck ton of mods of which i can't remember. he has all receipts so that's a plus. i'll go through them once i get the bike home. off the top of my head, header, exhaust, power commander, dampener, metal fan with manual switch, levers, some brand of shock, flush mount lights, HID's, stainless steel brake lines, blah blah blah. you get the jist.

and it was stolen about 7 days later. wish i could have caught the motherf'ers. would have shot them on the spot.

anyone want a Dunlop tire? bought it off ebay and the bike was stolen before it arrived. just trying to get what i paid for it. $95.

also have a brand new bike stand still in the box. $40 for it.

what size tire?

[davbrucas]

Thieves rank up there with child molestors...both should be shot on sight. Was it outside?

what size tire?

it was in my apt parking garage. i had planned on buying a chain but didnt have time. and to be honest there's 8 other bikes in the same garage. all parked and are never messed with. based off that i didn't think it would get stolen. but nope, less then a week. there's a black GSXR that parks near where i did. never chained or anything. his never gets messed with.

Overly suspicious.

Overly suspicious.

the thought went through my head.

...maybe the owner of it wanted it back....kept a key and followed you home?

and dang it....tire is to big for a my project bike.....my tires are tiny

i also have a used 160/70/17, if that'll fit. the ebay company originally sent me the wrong size tire.

Damn, that sucks man. I hope you had theft coverage. Fuckin' theives

[Snatch Napkin]

Damn, that sucks out loud!!

Did you get the title transferred and insurance in time?

I agree that it's overly suspicious. I would be willing to place a wager on a friend of his is now in possession of the bike.

Why the fuck would anyone with a remotely new sportbike, park it at an apartment?

Because it's the smart thing to do!!! DERRRR.

a non-secured parking garage? you can blame yourself for that one...i guess after 9 years of not riding you forgot how it goes around here.
