So last night as my bike was parked outside my girlfriends place, someone came along and smashed off my mirrors and took off with the cap for my gas tank (the lock on it didn't work). They then proceeded to pour some crap into my tank to ruin my gas, luckily I wheeled my bike down to a garage and got the tank sucked dry before I even tried to start it. Does anyone know where I could possibly get a replacement cap for an RGV/FXR 150? Pretty cheesed off that some thought to nick off with it, never had any problems before but there you go...

Bugger, that's just fucking foul. Missus have any jealous ex's?
Might pay to let the police know as well, in case this is a kinda common occurrence for the area.
As for the tank cap, wreckers'll probably be your friend, or some of the bucketeers knocking round here might have something spare.

None as far as I know of haha. I've been parking my bike up in that spot for around four months now and it hasn't been touched until now. Guess it was just one of those freak occurrences, going to keep my eyes peeled around the area though now. Luckily though, there's covered parking at my university which is only a couple of blocks away, so the bike is going right in there from now on :yes:

What exactly was the crap that they put in it?

And I do agree. Bikes to some people are like big shiny targets to magpies. Just can't resist to touch and take. These idiots need a good :spanking:

Red wine I'm suspecting, there was a sticky red kind of residue on my tank and my gas was purpler than usual when I pumped it out...
