Hey!
Im new to KiwiBiker but have been a biker for few years now. Recently my ZXR400 was stolen straight off Symonds Street at 2pm!! Middle of day on a busy street. They're ballsy as hell.
If you see a recent-paint-job red and silver 1990 ZXR400, registration 40TKO
My phone number is 021 117 8372
Thanks
Jared Broad

Good point Paturoa,
Thanks Mike
It had an accident on the left side.. little fairing damage (cant see in photo). Lost it Tuesday 2 weeks ago. Been monitoring Trademe & Herald. $800 no questions cash for return.

And knock the bastard off as well, beat him to a pulp and leave his bloodied body on the side walk.
Sorry to hear about the bike, but can I suggest people don't try this.
If it was stolen 2 weeks ago then it's no doubt been sold by now... new owner may not know anything about it being stolen,

argh, that sux bad ;<, saw similar one on trademe i think :\ wish it was that simple
JaredBroad

Full Yoshi exhaust. It was a beaut bike.
Weasel - its OK if its been resold. I'll trace the lead and find the seller.
No luck yet Morc...Fyns was close :P ... his parts list was identical to my bike. All the parts damaged in an accident I had were omitted from the list he was selling. I was a sleuth detective with him :)

Yeah Ive been watching TradeMe like a hawk. There are subtle differences between the ones on TradeMe and this one. The black ZXR sticker rather then common silver one, plus my left fairing was pretty messed up from accident. Head on at 50kmh swerved to miss. Was lucky :)

I'll keep my eyes peeled for that bike. If I find it I will follow it to an address and have a "chat with the owner"

Good Luck

Hey Jared how did you end up going in robotics?
My CBR got nicked there as well middle of the day hundreds of witness's, well people out and about on symonds st but no one saw it. Reported to the cops like they care and never hearrd anything back.
JaredBroad
12th August 2006, 13:56
Alex!! Hows it mate? Forum whore! lol nice!. Yeah Im not getting my hopes up, but figured worth a shot to try this. Its pretty common on Symonds street - I think one guy is stealing one a week or something cos I keep hearing reports.
Robotics was good A-. I was pleased considering all the competition in our class.

yeah, and AU has had a little cry over my parking in my secret spot so its back out to symonds for me!

I think only protection is a big chain through wheels & alarm.
I was stupid, forgot to engage my steering lock. I wont make same mistake next time :/

what sorta gear do you wear helmet/jacket wise, just incase i find it i dont want to be beating you to a pulp after just getting your bike back.

That sucks man - now I'm feeling little paranoid about my ride! Hope karma gives restitution where its due and you get a ride back soon. No insurance? Or the claim taking its time?
I think the small chain I got isn't enough now ... may need to invest in some more anti-theft devices!
JaredBroad
13th August 2006, 12:00
gareth - :D haha yeah. He stole my helmet too the bastard! with its sleek black visor.grr.. It was attached the the side of the bike. If I get it back I'll post on here again. Thing is he'll prolly just toss the helmet.
gijoe - yeah I would definately invest in some. something to make it difficult for them, especially if its not a run of the mill bike.

Another idea is to follow the rat bike movement and have the bike looking like crap, hey so far its worked for me.
1 Mint condition CBR stolen
1 Less than good cosmetically NC30 not stolen

anyone up for leaving a bike on symonds st (watched with a couple of bats)
JaredBroad
19th August 2006, 16:13
Good idea.
We should bait them!
Its a CHRONIC problem on Symonds Street. I bet if we caught the bastards it would stop.
Need a Ducati 999i volunteers :D anyone? (Preferably with GPS tracking unit installed)

I presume you did report this to the cops, they`ll put the chassis number on to the computer system which all the bike shops use, bike wont be able to go in for any work without getting picked up. sadly though it will have problery changed hands by then and the new 'owner' will be the one to lose out, you`ll get the bike back, and thieven bastage gets away. Sounds like a real problem up there in auckland. I like the sound of that bait idea, but id be thinking more like 10.000 volts hooked upto wires under the grips. that`d sort him out!

You reckon? I dont think I have seen anyone checking on my chassis number anytime it has gone in to the shop.
Kyle
19th August 2006, 21:33
Yeah for sure, at the shop i work at they check out all bikes which havnt been in before, if you go to the same shop no doubt they have your details on computer and know that you own that bike. online warrant of fitness checks certainly require chassis number, however i suppose they could do the old chassis number swap, off a writen off bike.
JaredBroad
25th August 2006, 22:52
I did report, couldnt find my chassis number though. Like both anti-theft ideas :D

Dude,
All bad and it never happens at a convenient time. I got a call a few years back that someone close had passed away, went to my bike , pissing down rain and the perps had mangled my ingnition, no key fit = no noise, had to leave it. All this in downtown Aucks on the side of the road in the afternoon.
Second Bike was clean nicked from outside on a Sunday arvo leaving me stranded in Pahiatua, excellent. Cops found it a few months later. The pr*ck that nicked it had butchered it to alter the appearance yet still had the number plate on it....genius. I was still paying that sucker off and had no insurance.
Check out cycle wreckers, guys selling parts as well if you havent already.
