Otherwise:


In the early hours of the morning of March 2nd, this BMW S1000RR race bike was stolen from Waikanae. Nearly every piece of this machine is computer coded and traced, so as soon as it goes near a shop, you’re gonna be caught. It is a highly modified race bike worth in excess of $40,000, and as there are only ten in New Zealand (five being race bikes), it stands out from the rest. Sponsorship stickers include Team Motomart, and RossCraft. REWARD FOR ANY INFORMATION LEADING TO THE RETURN OF THIS BIKE. If you know anything, please contact Kapiti Police on (04) 2966800. Thank you.

Hi Ross,

Dean Bentley here - that sucks mate.

I'm putting the word out.

Hopefully it turns up soon.

It's such a unique bike - can't imagine it will ever be legit on the road and the road racing community is such a small one.

Will pass this on to Uncle Ross, thanks Dean!

Then you'd be one of the first to agree that he's one of the last people you'd wish something as shit as this upon!

Hope this bike comes back and the thieving mongrel/s gets his just deserves !

Second bike i've heard of on the coast this weekend, an HD walked from outside the Jolly miller on friday night !

[Gianz]

mmm that's a weird one. I don't think it's an occasional job, it wasn't parked outside the pub, I guess. Unlikely the thieves just took it for a joyride.
They must have thought this through. If you go to steal a bike as hot as that one, someone asked for it. Unlikely it's still in nz. If it is it's in parts. Or in some rich guy's lounge.

[Deano]

I'd be keeping a close eye out at track days.

[tigertim20]

Ive shared the facebook thing.

hopefully its sitting in someones shed, waiting fir the heat to die down a little, and someone will notice it peeking out from under a tarp or something. then we can go lynch the cunt.

fingers crossed that it finds its way home

[Edbear]

I've shared on FB too. Scumbags!

[BigAl]

Mongrels, what could they do with it.?

Even parted out someone will spot bits. Hopefully it is too hot and will be recovered.

[Kiwi Graham]

Eyes well and truly peeled Ross, will put the word out too.

Thanks for putting up the post Azza, much appreciated. Couple of things, replacement value of bike would be around the $40k mark, to sell maybe $20k, to me, priceless! Also there are probably a few more around, I can think of seven in the north island, still not that many, second hand parts are super rare so if any start turning up, alarm bells should be ringing. There was a possible sighting of the bike in Waikanae on Saturday afternoon, if it was it, all the signwriting had been removed so will now be just black and white, but still very recognizeable.
Thanks for the comments Dean, good to hear, will catch you at the track, good luck wth the racing.
Anyway, please keep a lookout and thanks for your help.
Cheers
Ross

Just a thought have you tried advertising a reward no questions asked deal,i had a mate that did it with his 69 bigblock camaro that was way underinsured he ended up getting it back with bald tyres and paid the gang 10k because they were the lucky guys that were able to find it.Tui i would think,they wouldve taken it.

[imdying]

Maybe not stolen for money, could now be living at the bottom of the ocean? Maybe a competitor found an easy way to beat it? Worth a thought... plenty of people will smile to your face whilst stabbing you in the back.

[roogazza]

Sad to say it's probably doesn't exsist now.
You can bet it was in bits within a couple of hours.
Only an idiot would try to race or ride it, but hey I hope for the owners sake they are stupid.
Computer coding and Traced, means nothing sorry. This is a modern world, cops are smarter but so are the baddies.

I'd be tracking the owners of all other 1000rrs' my bet is parts.

Bit of an update, the bike has been seen in Palmerston North this afternoon. It was recognised by someone that knows their bikes, followed for a distance on the road before being lost, police were contacted. Sounds like the belly pan has been painted white. There is a chance that bike has been ridden on the road from Waikanae to Palmy as this is the second possible sighting, both being ridden on the road, this would mean that plenty of people must have seen it. Even if back roads were used, you still have to go through Otaki. So if anyone has seen a white race bike with no lights, plates etc please contact police.
Thanks
Ross

[Deano]

Crazy stuff. Perhaps the thief really is an amateur joy rider - looking good for recovery if so.

As has been pointed out - a pro would have stripped it by now.

Hi Ross,
Both Russell and l were shocked when we heard that your beloved BMW was stolen from your property on Saturday morning. It sickens me that there are Low Life Scum Bags out there who think that they have the right to take from you whats not there's. They wouldn't like it if the boot was on the other foot. I hope that who ever took it gets their well deserves when & if they ever get found.
May they Rott in Hell for what they have done.
I feel for your loss. :(
Cheers Skip (D.G) & Rusty.

Bit of a puzzle if so, they went to some trouble to steal it, joyriders tend to be opportunists.

They stole his helmet and gloves too !

Most thieves are stupid and opportunistic, couldn't help themselves i'd say, broke into the garage and probably found an unlocked bike on stands and just pushed it home with the gear ! Or perhaps just around the corner and started it if Ross has the ignition on a switch of sorts !

Spotted a bike that looked a little like it yesterday heading north SH1 Otaki but this one had lights, so it's registering and they all being looked at !

[prez]

Thanks Sue, pretty gutting alright. If I dont catch you both before you go, have a good trip.

[Duke girl]

l hope when we get back from Eastern Creek that there will be some good news to hear about your bike. :) Good Luck with it Ross. :)

[Padmei]

Any more news????

[festus]

Good luck mate. Hope you get ya pride and joy back.

[Grashopper]

:( Was hoping someone had posted that it was found.

[prez]

Hi all, bit of an update on the beemer, there have so far been three arrests in relation to the theft, two from levin were arrested over a week ago and charged over the burglary after a fingerprint was found in the garage. Bike was not at their address however, but evidence that it had been was found, a stolen camera had photos of the bastards sitting on the bike in their garage (criminals really are stupid)! They had sold the bike onto another scumbag for the sum of $2000.00 the next day. This guy was arrested this morning. He initially denied everything but then confessed to receiving it but claims that when he realised it was stolen, dumped it in a ditch near Halcome! I'm pretty sure that if you pay $2000 for a $40000 bike, chances are its going to be stolen! He could still be in posession of the bike or he could have moved it on, bottom line is I still have no bike. What I need is for people to still keep there eyes and ears open and to spread the word that there is a reward FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE RECOVERY OF THE BIKE. The bike is still intact, still easily recogniseable and as far as we know it is still black and white with no stickers on it. It does however possibly have a makeshift headlight of some description. Another interesting point is that the bike went from my place to an address in Waikanae (somewhere over the railway line I think) where the stickers were removed before it went to Levin. The Police are closing in on all involved, which is great, but I still really want the bike back. The guy who received the bike has connections in Levin, Shannon, Foxton, Masterton and Palmerston North, my guess is that it is still somewhere in this area. Thanks to all.

[Grashopper]

Thank you for the update. It's good to hear that they got some of the perps. Hope the bike will be found soon. Shared on FB.

Connect the fuckers to a magneto and spin it up - they'd soon tell all they know

[festus]

Good news bro......very good news.........

I hope the Police have some effective, but maybe not so blatant methods, as appealing as that sounds... :whistle:

In the 25 odd years I've been in the industry...I've never seen bike thefts at anything like what's going on at the moment, it's out of fucking control! Obviously a very well set up gang of theiving cunts on the loose. I've had three customers lose Harleys (and they're not just targeting Harleys) in broad daylight from public fucking motorcycle parks in the last month or so.

With a small truck with a Hi-ab (and with wrong plates) ... a few minutes and it's gone ...and untraceable. Large bolt cutters or battery metal cutting tools make chains/locks pretty much worthless ...

[tigertim20]

you have the names of the cunts arrested so far?

Obviously theres proof they did it, name and shame them, might frighten them enough to loosen their lips about where it is now

Have you ever been to Levin? People there have no shame.

[prez]

Not sure if I'm supposed to name them but I'm prepared to take the consequences. The guy that broke into the garage and stole the bike has the surname ******* (of Levin) and the guy that received the bike is ******* (from Shannon, Levin or Foxton). Associates of ******* will now be of interest as they will know where the bike is. Any info to Paraparaumu or Levin Police and quote case number 130302/3300, even anonomously, remember there is a reward for info leading to the recovery of the bike. Cheers.

Cheers for that. Hope you get the bike back safely mate!

[BigAl]

Mongrels, hopefully someone runs into ******* or ******* and deals out some real justice as we all know they'll simply get a smack on the wrist with obligatory bus ticket.

[imdying]

When I'm running the country, people like that who have admitted personal involvement, will able to be legally tortured until the owner is satisfied they have the full story. Then they're going into the pit of death.

That fucking foul piece of trash knows what the deal is, and where it is. I can see absolutely no reason why Ross should not be able to start pulling things of this guys body till fucking answers are produced. Hair. Nails. Toes. Balls. Ears. Anything he fucking wants :angry2::angry2::angry2:

BIKE FOUND! Just had the call from the Police, bike is on its way to their yard. Cant believe it! Thanks to all, especially the Police.

[Banditbandit]

Good outcome .. Hope the bike is not in too bad a condition ....

It was worse than this I think back in the 1970s ... especially for Triumphs and Nortons (couldn't buy Harleys here then. )

[dogsnbikes]

Great there is a result but still doesn't right the wrong that you have been through...

Hardly a mark on it, the odd scuff, nothing major, cant believe it, thought it was gone for good. Amazing effort by the Paraparaumu police, particularly Doug, thanks heaps.

[nzspokes]

Thats awesome:woohoo:!

[bloodwaaro]

Uncle you can change your bike from "S100RR hopefully" back to just S100RR ;)

[Grashopper]

Yay! Awesome news. :woohoo:

[Padmei]

Excellent - good stuff:yes:

[tigertim20]

[imdying]

Post up their details when you get them. A photo or FB link too would be great :yes:

[307a]

What a shame I was looking for a cheap race bike to, shame I didn't find it sooner would of paid $2,000 maybe more happily.

[Metastable]

Ya know, ever since visiting your country a few years ago, I pop my head in here every once in a while and see that a bike has been found. In Canada and the US, I don't think I have ever heard of a bike reported stolen on a forum being recovered. Big props to your cops.

[tigertim20]

Hope youve shouted that tireless copper a nice bottle of whiskey!

[prez]

The reward money is going to the charity of detectives choice, and have offered to put New Zealand Police stickers on the bike, after all they have effectively given me a racebike! I cant stress enough how grateful I am to Doug and his team at the Paraparaumu Crime Contrl Unit, was a massive effort.

See ya at the Winter Series mate..........

[Murray]

Mates just had a call from the coppa's. His CBRthou has been recovered in Pahiatua (stolen from Hams nearly a year ago) - amazing and well done the plod.

[SMOKEU]

I vote public lynching for the thief.

[Gareth51]

Great news Ross.
Now your garage is like Fort Knox I know where I can store me weed
