Someone just stole my bike! (Ellerslie, 19 April)

[Maverick]

10 mins ago from outside my front door in Ellerslie!
Heard an engine and thought "that sounds like my SV"
Ran outside and it was gone!
I had the keys inside with me, just rang the cops, but I'm not holding my breath.
:angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2:

EDIT:
MVRIK, 2003 Silver SV1000S
Has Stainless Yoshi twin pipes and Oxford heated grips.
The control box for the heated grips came off a while back and is stuck to the dash with a mountain of silver Duct Tape.
Has a worn out bridgestone BT021 on the front and a reasonably new Metzler M3 on the back.

[yungatart]

Sheesh!
Must have the cheek of Ned Kelly.
I hope your baby comes back to you soon.

[Choco]

Wow that well and truly sucks.
Good luck with the cops and I hope you get your bike back!

[Dino]

Good luck, I hope you find it soon.

[Mom]

Thats terrible! Heres hoping that the police can recover the bike undamaged and quickly too! There truely are some bottom dwellers in this world for sure! Good luck mate!

Silver SV1000S with Yoshimura Pipes

I think the number plate is MVRIK.

[cowboy]

That sucks. Good look finding it

[BuFfY]

Oh my gosh that is horrible!!
I am near your area so I will keep an ear and an eye out for ya!

[MaxB]

Sorry to hear that. FWIW I'll keep a lookout.

[Chickadee]

Gutted for ya mate, hope it turns up unharmed. Nob that nicked it will surely get a good dose of karma:Pokey:

Time for increased bike security or a new pad with a garage. You could always move to Invervegas - less bike crime.

Good luck and how the heck will you get around without wheels! Public transport eats poo.

[Maverick]

It is normally garaged, it was nicked inbetween getting home from the shops and me getting changed to go out and give it a wash! :crybaby:

[Crazy Steve]

Was it locked ? ? ?

And if Yes how many locks did you have on it (Ie Zena disc lock alarm/Padlock and chain) ? ? ?

And if NO....Your an idiot ! ! !

Crazy Steve

[Zuki Bandit]

Damn dirty rotten pricks:angry2: Hope you get the SV back mate!

[Maverick]

Was it locked ? ? ?

And if Yes how many locks did you have on it (Ie Zena disc lock alarm/Padlock and chain) ? ? ?

And if NO....Your an idiot ! ! !

Crazy Steve

It was just the stearing lock as I had only just got home from the shops and was about to go out and wash it shortly! :bash:

[oldrider]

That really sucks, bastards like that should be fair game for personal retribution when they get caught. :spanking:

I looked at your video and like most SV's (98tls's especially) they are seriously nice bikes. :yes:

Good luck with your recovery. :niceone: John.

[marty]

Sheesh!
Must have the cheek of Ned Kelly.
I hope your baby comes back to you soon.

I hope the thief does a runner from the cops and pastes themselves all over a bridge abutment.

The minute someone nicks my bike, I hope I never see it again, unless it's on the 6pm news having made a hole in a fence somewhere.

[Leong]

In broad daylight too....think they might have experience hot wiring SV's and followed you home?

[skidMark]

I had only been back from the shops for 10 mins or so, was going to go out and wash it, when i heard it start up! GRRRRRR!


They followed you home.

that really sucks man, but don't hold your breath.

[Livvy]

In broad daylight too....think they might have experience hot wiring SV's and followed you home?
Yeah mate, did you see anyone following you home perhaps?

[Laava]

I hope I never see it again, unless it's on the 6pm news having made a hole in a fence somewhere.
Hope it's not my fence, made into a shrine for some fuckin loser!

[skidMark]

It is normally garaged, it was nicked inbetween getting home from the shops and me getting changed to go out and give it a wash! :crybaby:


Yeah they definately followed you.

Always the way though the one time you take your eyes off it:(

assholes.

I live in mt wellington i was out on the bmx, i didn't see it on ellerslie panmure highway.... or around that area.

will keep eyes peeled, but it's probably already locked up in thier garage by now unfortunately matey.

was she insured?

[Maverick]

In broad daylight too....think they might have experience hot wiring SV's and followed you home?

Who knows? I have no idea.
I live in a pretty secluded culdesac driveway and it was parked hidden beside my sister hatchback, so i reckon it was cased out beforehand. Even if they had followed me, they would have to have been right up my arse to have seen where I went.

[skidMark]

Just heard a bike nutting it around these ways ripping wheelies.

Sounded like an inline four though...

EDIT: followed by multiple police sirens... errr

really does sound like an inline four though.

Yeah i just head the sirens too. Didnt hear the bike.

[skidMark]

Yeah i just head the sirens too. Didnt hear the bike.


Sounded like it was giving it balls, i'm pretty certain it was inline 4, have sent out a txt to all my mates out these ways to keep eyes peeled.

V-twin with twin yoshis on a thou is a pretty distinctive noise.

Some one must have had you staked out waiting for an opportunity to flog it!

I wonder who all your neighbours really are!

Stolen to order or just to get rid of your bike out of their street! :argh: Smells fishy to me. :angry2: John.

[paturoa]

Sucks

Why is the planet full of arseholes?

I don't think I'll be leaving mine like that any more.

[avgas]

Mate that sux, makes you just wanna put a spark plug lead in the tank whenever you leave the bike.:spanking:
Will keep and eye out for it, chuck the VIN up if you wouldnt mind as thats usually the last thing they take off (plate is usually first). Will store it in my phone.

[arj127]

Sucks

Why is the planet full of arseholes?

I don't think I'll be leaving mine like that any more.

But its not really any different to how you would leave it outside say a dairy or something while you went in to purchase something. He had the steering lock on. Bad luck i say. I hate thieving scumbags, you can only hope they get ripped off themselves one day.

[skidMark]

Sucks

Why is the planet full of arseholes?

I don't think I'll be leaving mine like that any more.


I trty and keep my bike where i can always see it, if going to superket etc big fuckoff lock around a pole or something...disc lock also. if nothing to lock it to....disc lock and try be really quick and park it in a visable place where staff could see it (or a stall set up...donate them a dollar and ask them to keep an eye on her :2thumbsup)

Makes you wonder where all these bikes go really, ive heard of alot of very distinctive bikes getting nicked some up to 3 years ago, never seen again.... parts never come up for sale anywhere etc, it's like wtf happens to them?

[firefighter]

if your insured I hope the prick crashes and really fucks himself up

Have you got disc brakes on your bmx skidmark? ;)

I think you had a lovely bike mate. It was noticed. The whole thing will have been sussed out by these cunce, and they knew when to strike.
My parents were burgled by a local lad many years ago, he watched Mom and I walk up the road on Friday evening, came in a window and stole money from where my parents hid it. Hint here, never hide money in your bedroom at night with the lights on and no curtains closed and then go for a walk up the road at dusk and leave a window open...LOL.

It will be someone local you can be sure, seen your bike, thought $$$$ to feed his habit, doubt it was a theft for funds to feed children good, healthy food somehow.

Are the cops showing any interest in this?

[CookMySock]

I had the keys inside with mehow is that possible ? Rip ignition wiring off and bump-start it ? What about the steering lock ?

A bit of a worry.

DB

[tri boy]

Thats are bloody shame mate.
Brazen thieves need a short sharp shock. (1000amps should do it):Pokey:

[Disco Dan]

THat really sucks arse dude :mad:

That is pretty flipping scary that it was taken in such a small window of time.



There has been FAR TOO MANY bikes stolen lately. SOMETHING is going on.

Someone mentioned (think it may have been skidmark) that they may have a container sitting around and ride them straight inside, close the door and send the container off overseas full of bikes. Would certainly explain why we have not seen the bike or parts for sale of our stolen bikes.

[munterk6]

Gutted for ya mate. My K6 has an immobiliser to discourage these theiving SCUM from oppurtunist theft. Next bike ya get, or if ya get the SV back I suggest ya get an immobiliser fitted. No way can the engine run without the right key. All they can do is push it IF they get past the locks and chains!

[kevfromcoro]

well what skids said.......what do they do with things...
cant resell....dont think they would be sent overseas..
who noes

[DMNTD]

Gutted for you mate...have spoken to a few people on your behalf.
Anything particularly "individual" about it?
IE: a scratch somewhere where no one else would know?


....what do they do with things...
Stripped for parts to sell,joy ride...whatever other things these losers do.



how is that possible ? Rip ignition wiring off and bump-start it ? What about the steering lock ?
Takes about 10 seconds..."tools" required can be bought cheaply at any local Super Cheap.
Tragic eh?!

If you check the details at the beginning of the thread thats about all that I can think of, otherwise my sig has a link to a youtube video of it when i first got it.

[paturoa]

On the really old uns if you pulled the plug from the ignition wire bundle apart and switched off the lights, you could kick start them and they would run.

On modern bikes I doubt that that would work.

Edit: Just deleted how the arseholes do this ...

[DMNTD]

Yep I read that mate. If you can think of anything less obvious that they may not notice then do post it up.

[Maverick]

Yeah not really im afraid, it was in pretty mint condition :(

[paturoa]

Well given the recent stolen bikes that are just being ridden around my SV radar is now on (and being a westie whats the chance?)

... if I knock warlock of his bike appoligies in advance...

[skidMark]

EDIT: according to puturoa i cant say what i said because then people will know about steering locks.....oh noes.

[kevfromcoro]

would like to see some cunt steal my xr...
need muscles in yah shit ,,just to start it..and wont bump start.
sorry to hear about this maverick.....nice bike.iam sure a lot of us will be looking out for it......

[daaatomic]

That sux mate. This shit really pisses me off. You work hard to pay for something, then some asshole comes along and takes it from you. Makes you wonder if it's worth owning nice stuff. Hopefully things work out okay for ya.

[andrea]

that sux shit man, i know the wat ur going through, some arsehole at my job stole my bike and dropped it, while i was away on leave for stuffing up my back. didn't have my bike back for 3 months and i can't believe they didn't sack the guy he's still working with us, ffs i hope he crashes.

i hope u get ur bike back soon, and i hope the pig that took it gets the shit beaten outa him.

[paturoa]

EDIT: according to puturoa i cant say what i said because then people will know about steering locks.....oh noes.

Thanks for that. The less fucktards know the better.

btw - was that intended to be an insult or just bad typing? as my nose is fine.

You never told us, you have insurance????

[Maverick]

At the risk of sounding sentimental, (or Semi-mental)
Its not just the theft of the "bike" thats so upsetting.
Sure you could say its just a machine, but to me it was much more.
It was my freedom, my stress release from work every day on the way home, every time I hit that starter button it was music to my ears, and I thought "Man, I am so lucky to own this bike".
It was a part of my life, and indeed it became a part of me, the loss of which hurts far more then the theft of a mere machine, some compilation of metal, electrics and rubber.
I love being a biker, even when it rains, even when its raining so bad that your cordura doesnt keep the water out!
But now I'm bikeless, so what does that make me?
Maverick - his bike, just isnt the same somehow.

[Maverick]

You never told us, you have insurance????

I do, will be a long wait till monday to call the broker...

[duckaddict]

Sorry to hear about this Maverick.


:(

[Wingnut]

I hate thiefs. They are total scum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope it all works out. I know the feeling. I had my primo old falcon stolen. Never to be seen again!

I couldn't have said that any better, precisely how i feel about my scooter Maverick. I might have to look at an immobilser for my SV now i'm thinking.

Depends why they are stolen. Most get resprayed and used in quick gettaways.
Others become a strange list of parts on trademe.

Why does it take somebodys own model of bike to get nicked before they protect thier one?

[arj127]

Why does it take somebodys own model of bike to get nicked before they protect thier one?

The fact that Maverick has the same type of bike as me is a coincidence.
His misfortune just shows me that scumbags can take a bike that has its steering locked etc in the time that it might take for you to walk inside your house and back.
I used to put a switch on the fuel pump of my rx's, twice i had it stolen and they bailed out of it about 2 3 hundred metres up the road when it ran out of fuel.

a large amount of bike thieves simply lift the stolen bike into a van.
your immobiliser has limited benefit in this scenario.

[McJim]

I do, will be a long wait till monday to call the broker...Y'know I woulda let you borrow the Duchess until such time as you got paid and got the bike replaced dude 'cept I'm too far away to give you the keys. Here's hoping you didn't get around to replacing the chain and sprockets before this happened.

in this case the thieves rode of on the bike.

Mmmm, yeah because it's not like you see XXXXXX bike motor! etc etc.

they just seem to dissapear, maybe somebodys exporting them.

[klingon]

Hey Maverick I just watched your youtube video. A beautiful bit of movie making and also a very useful way of knowing what your bike looks like. Have you changed anything since you made that? Did it still have the same screen, indicators, rear setup, etc?

My partner has a silver SV1000S so I tend to be pretty tuned in to the details of any I see around the place. I also told him your story so that's two sets of eyes peeled for you.

Best of luck.

I know, and the thought does count. Was going to do it next week, pity about the rear tyre though.

Apart from the oxford box being stuck to the dash with lots of silver tape and the rear cowl having the passenger seat on instead, nope.

[obstacle]

Arse sticks. I f*ckin' love your bike! The few times i've seen it around I've never been able to take my eyes off it. I'll certainly know it if I see it, and especially if I hear it. I'll be looking extra hard for it now.

Good luck in getting her back. I've got a 250 Hornet you're welcome to borrow if you want it. I've never officially met you but I know the legend.

GRRRRR!

[Maverick]

I've never officially met you but I know the legend.

GRRRRR!

Thanks dude, I take that as a huge compliment. :cool:

Know that feeling all too well, I felt sick when I was looking at my SV lieing broken in the middle of the road, at no fault of my own.

I will keep my eyes peeled for you, but it does sound like it was targeted and unfortuently will disapear somewhere.

[zeocen]

I was at Mt Eden Motorcycles at the desk and Mike there just got off the phone and said a "Matt xxxxxx just had his SV1000 stolen right from his drive way about 20 minutes ago" And I thought to myself, shit nuts I hope that's not Mav :(

:(

Don't worry mate, there could be a silver lining, let me know if you have time tomorrow and I'll try free up some time to come over and let you go over 'it' with a fine toothed combe!

[gijoe1313]

........... :weep: :angry2:

[WarlockNZ]

... if I knock warlock of his bike appoligies in advance...

You better not ... sucks Mav, sorry to read about it.

Do me a favour, find your owner ship papers and post the engine and chassis numbers.

[McJim]

so in the end what came of the "C4 under the seat wired to a radio receiver" plan? Guess you didn't make it happen then.

[Meekey_Mouse]

Mmmm, yeah because it's not like you see XXXXXX bike motor! etc etc.

they just seem to dissapear, maybe somebodys exporting them.

Not meaning to take your thread off topic Mav...

But they can't export them, unless they take them through illegal routes. Which obviously seeing as how they just stole a bike, wouldn't be surprising lol.
If they were to export via legal way: bikes into a container, they get checked by customs. All the engine, chassis and VIN numbers get registered. So they'd come up as stolen.

[MSTRS]

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The more I hear of this shit, the less I think of crims, cops and courts.
Hoping you get a speedy resolution, Mav.

[Swoop]

There has been FAR TOO MANY bikes stolen lately. SOMETHING is going on.
There is a bigger market for bikes now. 250's especially are attractive because of the bigger demand. A litre bike though... very odd.

But they can't export them, unless they take them through illegal routes. Which obviously seeing as how they just stole a bike, wouldn't be surprising lol.
If they were to export via legal way: bikes into a container, they get checked by customs.
Unfortunately not quite true. Think about the sheer quantity of containers circulating the planet.
Only a small amount get physically checked.

[skidMark]

friend o a friend o a guy who kbnows a guy who knows a guy....

Steals ferrari's lambo's porsche's etc in nz, hes exporting them overseas constantly, im sure if he can do it, bike thieves can too.

Good spotting! I hope you called the police to let them know!

Woman at work just told me her 4x4 got stolen from outside the pumphouse (insert witty north shore 4x4 joke here) and then 20 minutes later saw it drive past... 2 hours later it was back to her.

[Edbear]

Mate that sux, makes you just wanna put a spark plug lead in the tank whenever you leave the bike.:spanking:...

If I did that, I would be bound to forget....:pinch:

Oooh nice spotting!

Has the scum been found? If so... Let me at 'em!! :mad::girlfight::2guns::clap:

[skidMark]

Fuck yeah hes prob going to rob some place or something, i bloodey hope you called the cops matey, good spotting, hopefully mav can get her back.

[Donor]

I don't know - Mavs temporary ride seems to fit him quite well... *snigger*

:edit: OW - fuck he can hit hard...

Seriously wtf???

That guy wants to die!

[Grahameeboy]

So did anything come of this sighting?

Surely someone followed when sighted.....:pinch:

[shafty]

Hey Maverick - prolly doesn't help Mate - but you have my sympathies big time, checked out your vid, what a premo ride - esp with those Yoshi's, great taste, and can relate to your "more than a bike" sentiments.

I lost a GT750 Waterbus last century and still sometimes wonder where it ended up.

Where do these cunce 'get off'?

Anyway, eyes peeled Bro, would love to spot the Death Wish Thief, chin up!

hope ya get her back some cheeky bastards out there good luk man

[MisterD]

Surely someone followed when sighted.....:pinch:

It was actually me that spotted it, on the way over to Flatcap's. It pulled up beside me at the Mt Albert / Pah Rd lights and the first thing I noticed - no gloves!

I just looked at the rider and he just didn't look right on the bike (serious bike, amateur rider kind of thing)...but I hadn't really looked at Mav's description, and being a scooterist, a bike's pretty much a bike. But I clocked the yoshimura cans as it pulled away and then - no plate, and that uneasy feeling at the back of my mind got a bit stronger.

The light finally came on a bit further down the road, so logged onto KB at Flatcap's to check...so sorry, a lost opportunity.:weep:

So moral of the story is- read the stolen bike threads properly.

BUT. Making that turn is not a "popular" option...I would expect anyone heading into town from the east of Royal Oak to take Manukau rd from the roundabout so I think it is a reasonable assumption that either-
a) The bike is being held somewhere in North of Onehunga or
b) It's being held on one of those roads of the bottom end of Pah Road.

I'll be going for a tootle around later on.

It was actually me that spotted it, on the way over to Flatcap's. It pulled up beside me at the Mt Albert / Pah Rd lights and the first thing I noticed - no gloves!

I just looked at the rider and he just didn't look right on the bike (serious bike, amateur rider kind of thing)...but I hadn't really looked at Mav's description, and being a scooterist, a bike's pretty much a bike. But I clocked the yoshimura cans as it pulled away and then - no plate, and that uneasy feeling at the back of my mind got a bit stronger.

The light finally came on a bit further down the road, so logged onto KB at Flatcap's to check...so sorry, a lost opportunity.:weep:

Im working In tepapapa. Will keep an eye out.

If I see it though Ill really want to injure the bastard so he can never ride again.

I wouldnt be able to gaurantee the safety of the bike though...
