Stolen, Aprilia "Starck" Moto 6.5 from the feelers!

[Mattfelt]

Hi

My names matt thomas,I play bass for the band the feelers. My Aprilia moto 6.5 (the phillepe Starck model) was stolen from outside my girlfriends place on The Strand in Parnel Auckland on Anzac day ( 25th April ) this year.

I didn't have insurance so I am going to a bit of extra effort to recover it. I am offering a $1000 cash reward no questions asked if it is recovered in reasonable condition. If it is recovered in unreasonable condition I would consider giving a reward for information leading to the conviction of the #$^%^ who stole it from me.

It is a 1996 model in orange and grey. It has a number of features that distinguish it from other bikes of the same model, but I am not going to list them here as that would give those responsible the oportunity to change them. One though is the cover for the storage compartment (disguised as part of the engine) may be missing as it was left behind on the footpath.

the picture of the bike in front of the car is actually mine, the other two are stock photos of a similar bike

If anyone has come accross one of these since April please contact me, even if you don't believe it to be mine.

The number plate at the time was 19 TEA, if you have any info please contact me here or call the police on *555 from a mobile, or your local station.

thanks heaps, if you don't mind bumping this up to the top of the forum everynow and then that would be appreciated too! thanks

Matt

will keep an eye out for it - but wouldn't hold out much hope that is still in one piece.

Oh and welcome to KB :wavey:

Bastard thieving toerags. Unfortunately posts such as yours are getting more common. I'll keep an eye out in Wellington and if I find them I'll douse them in petrol and set them alight. Bloody hate dickheads who help themselves to other peoples property.

Oh and welcome to the site.

[Cibby]

Hay matt.

sorry to hear.. goodluck adn will keep an eye out in the area..

P>S GET INSURNACE NEXT TIME!

[DemonWolf]

Welcome to the site...

Sorry to hear your ride got stolen.. I'm sure all KB'ers will keep an eye out for it.. Hope you get it recovered. Keep us updated on how your search goes.

[froggyfrenchman]

Sorry to hear bout your wheels. I have experianced what you are gointhrough. Nothin worse than having your baby stolen

[James Deuce]

Fek arse. The license plate and the bike are quite distinctive, so if the dickheads have left it in one piece it shouldn't be hard to spot. Nice bike too. Bastards.

On a more positive note, my 2 year old loves The Feelers (I don't mind you guys either).

[Badcat]

why would you not insure a rare and exotic bike?
bet you won't to that again.

[Ivan]

The Feelers are pretty cool

[Lou Girardin]

Great band, shame about the bike.

[Mental Trousers]

The Feelers rock. I'll keep an eye out, but it's been a long time since it was lifted. Isn't it something like a week before your chances of recovering it dimish to nothing??

[aff-man]

sucks man.... did you cheack all the local bike shops?? someone might try pull a fast one for a trade or something.

[spudchucka]

Will keep an eye out for it down my way.

[Toast]

Saw this on trademe a while back, and have been keeping an eye out for it since...it's a pretty distinctive bike. The plate is easy to remember too...though I doubt it'll be on it.

Here's hoping it shows up.

[Bartman10]

Welcome to the site.

Saw that on trademe too. I'm real sorry to hear that. Getting stuff stolen sux. I hope someone catches the theving scum.

I'll keep an eye out for ya.

[R6_kid]

Hey Matt, welcome to KB firstly and I'm a great fan of you guys music but fuck dude! You gotta lot to learn about bike style.

That said, I hope the rotten little shits have their peckers cut off and fed to them. You want White trash and the Violators to play support or what? If you've got a van, I've got a bait bike............

haha, I got alot of bike guys saying things like that. Personally I think it was fantastic, I mean what other bike has been designed by a leading european designer (phillipe starck) ? as opposed to a CAD designer.. I even bought it off an italian fashion photographer.

and I've yet to meet a hot girl who doesn't say my bike is (was) the coolest they'd seen. an I'd perfer to impress the girls over the guys.. :2thumbsup:

haha, jokes

matt

[Mattfelt]

Im a cop in that area Matt, i will surely look out for it for you buddy, its very distinctive..i doubt its still in one piece though, but i will pull over anything like it and check the vin..

fantastic! thanks

Good point, every single one of them, fashion disasters.


, .. I even bought it off an italian fashion photographer.



So its sexuality IS questionable?

Yeah but are you sure you're not opening with "Hi! I play bass for the feelers..."? "Have you seen my bike?"

Bill Rollston could pick up chicks with credentials like that mate!

[MSTRS]

Bill Rollston could pick up chicks with credentials like that mate!
So could you, young man.....oh,shit! I see RR coming.... :chase:

[Mattfelt]

Actually I usually reserve that one for a while

matt

[metric]

sorry to hear that mate

insurance is a definite goer I reckon

thieves should have their nuts cut off

my car got stolen on the last day of uni a few years back... it was eventually found in Sth Auckland three weeks later on four space savers, beer crates as seats and was completely stripped.

choice.

[NhuanH]

Hey Matt,

Welcome to KB. Stank about them thieving bassas. They'll get theirs'. Hope you get another motobicycle of some sort soon.

On another 'note' [badoom-tsh], wicked set at St James last night bro! :niceone:

WTF... u should ask them what exact conditions have you breached.

Perhaps you should put up a Classified ad, to sell $1000 worth of notes. And payment is by the motorcyle or information leading to arrest... :argh: :done:

[MidnightMike]

Ill Keep an eye out 2 if i see them ill give the cops a call once ive finished with the Bastard. :headbang:

[thealmightytaco]

It's cause trademe is an auction site, not an ad site, and the space you take up on their server is paid for by them taking a comission off the goods sold. And since a stolen ad isn't going to pay for the server space, it's outta there.

And bummer about the bike, gots to have that insurance.

with vehicles on trademe though you pay a set fee in advance, which I did.

I didn't have insurance becasue at the time I bought the bike I spent every last cent on it, I was planning on getting insurance once I got some more money but kept putting it off.. yeah I know..

[NordieBoy]

I mean what other bike has been designed by a leading european designer (phillipe starck) ?

But he's a furniture designer...

These are 2 others he's done...

[Riff Raff]

So could you, young man.....oh,shit! I see RR coming.... :chase:
I'm pissed, so I won't mince words ..... Get fucked! (in the nicest possible way of course!)
