Finaaly some good luck comes my way!

[shandawg]

After Writing my bike off last week, and slaving over exam study for the last two, I was beginning to feel a little down on it.

That was until this afternoon at about 5pm, when I received a call from the nice constable at Mt Wellington Police, to tell me my bike, which was stolen late 2002, has been recovered and I can pick it up tomorrow! :headbang:

I can't believe they found it!

I am a happy man right now, can't wait to see it and assess how much abuse it's had since I lost it <_<

[Ghost Lemur]

What sort of bike? Was it the other zxr? If so you may be able to canabalize the two into one.

Good to hear they came through for you. I take it this means they got the little shit who took it. Hopefully they get one of these :kick:

[Quasievil]

:spudbooge Awesome Dude, bloody great, can you use it, is it rideable?

[shandawg]

Yeah mate, rideable and all, few dents in the tank etc, but apparently it's still going and all that.

It's my first ZXR250, had fairly low k's - dunno about now...

Had a brand new set of pirellis on it when it was pinched etc, so can't wait to see how it looks

I get the payout for the crashed bike this week, so some new riding gear is in order - woo hoo, new gear!

[riffer]

I'm absolutely bloody stoked for you Shannon.

Congratulations. :D

[FROSTY]

bloody good news dude--now if only ya could get to stamp on the theiving bastards nuts life would be perfect

[shandawg]

Ha ha yeah, that would be nice, At the moment I'm so stoked about getting it back I'm not all that worried!!

Life's not a bitch ALL the time! things like this don't happen often, so I'm definitely making the most of it :banana:

[k14]

Sweet man. Did they catch the bastards that stole it or did it just show up somewhere?

Hopefully it is going sweet and you will be back on the road.

[shandawg]

Bit of a long story...This guy got done for receiving, but the guy who actually stole it (first) was busted pushing it down the road with no plate. When the police came back to pick the bike up after taking the guy back to the station, It was GONE again. That was a year ago. Now it pops up again, and it's not getting away this time!

[Wenier]

wicked to hear ya get it back and the new gears (choice) im still trying to get rid of mine i need me a 600cc

[shandawg]

Actually I may have spoken too soon, it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth again! Nobody knows where the hell it is!

If it's been re-stolen again I will be so pissed off!

[k14]

You have got to be kidding. It got stolen from the cop shop?? Now why doesn't that surprise me, hmmm. The guy that was guarding it probably saw someone doing 52 in a 50 and went to ticket them.

[shandawg]

I don't know yet, i think it was supposed to have been picked up from where it was found, but the towing company knows nothing about it and it's not where it was - so, hopefully someone at the police station knows whewe it is, otherwise it's been stolen again (again) :brick:

[James Deuce]

You've heard of the Police Complaints Authority eh?

[Wenier]

someone probably pulled a dodgy and picked it up and disappeared. shit that sucks mate god damn country wuts it comin to

So buy something less worth while to steal. Or if you really love your ZXR too much put some Honda or Yamaha Stickers on it.

If all else fails get a bloody big dog and teach him to pillion.

awesome!, glad to hear some good news has come your way

[FROSTY]

Actually dude probably the best bet if ya want ya bike to stay safe is to plaster it with suzuki badges-
You will have to pay people to steal it :ar15:
But it will have to be lots cos theyll all feel sorry for ya

Heh

could just turn the stickers around and call it an ikasawak

I eventually tracked the bike down, it got sent to the wrong towing yard :bleh:

It's pretty neglected as you would expect, but it's all there, and it hasn't done many k's in my absence. Still lots of tread left on the pirelli's I put on before it was pinched.

Nice to finally have it in my clutches!

[Big Dog]

Got thee a decent quality lock?:killingme

[shandawg]

Should really consider a better one, just using a bike chain and padlock, plus a padlock on the disk

[Bob]

Great news to hear you got your bike back. Scum took one of mine in late 2002. Sadly, I hold out no hope of ever seeing it again.

[moko]

Mate of mine had his heap of a CB900 stolen from his back garden,complete with a chain that could have held the Titanic anchor and padlock just to really take the piss.Not wanting to lose his no claims on what was worth less than his new crash helmet he got himself a tidy GPX600 and forgot about it.18 months later the police came round,they`d found his bike at the other end of the country,some poor bastard had bought it in good faith,stripped it right down and rebuilt a very tasty looking streetfighter out of it.Brit law is that if you buy a stolen bike,no matter how innocent you are personally,it goes right back to the owner so Steve got himself a spotless hot-rod with loads of tlc,and a lot of money,lavished on it.He sold it for £1800(about $5000),before it was nicked it was due to be broken for spares when the M.O.T(wof) ran out.

[shandawg]

Just goes to show that there is still hope that your baby will turn up again.

When mine was re-stolen a year ago I never thought I'd see it again :2thumbsup
