Auck - stolen bike (8 Nov 2009)

[Hiflyer]

Sux man but I for the life of me wonder why folks leave their bikes out on the road?There's a dude who lives down the road from me,leaves his CBR250 out on the road everyday!It's like it's saying "please steal me,I don't like my owner" everytime I pass it!
Mate,bumma that happened,I'd be more wanting it to NOT be recovered myself...it's like someone kidnapped ya woman and had their nasty way with her,you'll never look at her the same.
Anyhow,good luck whatever way it goes.

Yea I usually park it off road, cos id prefer someone not to steal my stuff haha. But yea if I get it back in normal condition, sweet, if not, I'll have to wait ages cos of a 30 day recovery period but then I can go shopping for a new bike, win win.

Thats sh!t man, hope you get it sorted. One question why would anyone want to steal a Hyobag, they obviously dont know much about bikes.

How far are you off your full, Hiflyer?

Just curious as to whether or not you'd be going for another 250 if you don't get the Hyo back.

I've got my restricted and quite a while to go on it as well, but don't plan on getting anything bigger than a 250 for a while, trying to get my pilots licence and thats taking most of my funds, dont wanna bother waiting for my full to get a bike either.

EDIT: So yea, go for a 250, maybe something a bit quicker, dunno, a Hornet is looking quite the treat at the mo, I'd want a more forward riding position tho, comfier for me

Get an R6
Oh wait...

I was thinking zx6r but then no insurance would kill me!!!

Na I'm fine with a 250 for now, Id rather learn to go even faster on a cheaper bike than crash a bike im not used to as well :P

Well... I just stumbled upon this thread and thought you might want to know:

My 1990 BMW K100RS got stolen on Monday the 11th in the same area (St Heliers Fire Station which is now located at Sacred Heart College on West Tamaki Road).

I can completely sympathise, it is my only transport for commuting to work and back (Whangaparaoa to Glendowie). Round trip of 130km

I am in a total bind as I can't afford to replace it. If anyone has any info please contact the police. This totally sucks.

Sorry for the thread hijack but I need people to keep an eye out

The plate number is 94SGF. It is a dark metallic green, almost black. It had panniers on when stolen. It is the 16 valve model with ABS. Some distinctive markings are the dent in the petrol tank, grey gaffer tape on the seat covering some rips, and a poor weld on one of the header pipes that had cracked.

I suspect that it may have been stolen for parts or to order as the laptop in my crew members' car was untouched as were the lockers on the fire truck itself. They obviously knew what they were doing because they knew how to dismantle the steering lock quickly and would have had to have had at least two people to push it into a waiting van/truck/trailer.

Anyway if anyone hears of a K100RS popping up for sale or even of parts for sale please send me and email or PM or contact the police or call St Heliers Fire Station. Whatever duty crew member takes the call will know about it.

Oh and no insurance for me...

Sucks to be you. You should always, always have insurance if your bike is your primary form of transport.

I really hope it shows up for you. I understand what it is like to lose a bike.

[Hiflyer]

Yea it seems like they knew what they were doing.
That's a real bummer about the fact that you have no insurance. Coulda been the same guys?? Will definatley keep an eye out.


On a side note, saw a red GT250R with a screaming demon shorty exhaust today in the CBD being ridden past me, my hopes shot sky high as I was about to spear tackle the fucker off my bike at the lights, but then I saw the number plate and it wasnt mine
