    Dude, I just looked at my protecta policy and it actually states the following generalised Policy Conditions.... (should apply to all customers)

    GENERAL EXCLUSIONS:

    3. Unattended Motorcycles.

    - There is no cover or liability which is a result of the theft or illegal conversion of the motorcycle while it is left unattended unless:
    a) It is in a secure building
    or
    b) The steering has been locked and the keys have been removed.


    Dude, Tell me you had the steering locked and keys removed! Have you read your policy because the operative word is "or". Could be an $8000 question?

    I urge you to relodge your claim based upon the fact that you had locked the steering and removed the keys. And regardless of everything, You do have a locking system, if the insurance company don't believe you, invite them to look for themselves. What can they do?
    If you don't mind me asking, did you have Full Cover or 3rd Party?

    And consider contacting "Fair Go", they do well with this sort of thing. Last thing the insurance co wants is adverse publicity.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    ?
    Yes those steering locks are just plain useless.  I would have to be the worlds worst criminal , but as a mechanic I have had to do a few , gas caps , locks and such like ,,NOW if I can do it your average Skuzzy could do it in a blink of an eyelid,,,,

    and ,,,I after that who can prove what ,,, UNLESS YOU SAID NO..i didnt use the steerin lock

    Anyway Pm me your mail address po box or what ever I will send what ever 2000 yen comes to ,,, If all the other here do the same you will be sorted ...If you do get a pay out , then some other on this list may need it
    Kind regards
    Stephen

    BTW it will be sent on the 1 of July as I have been Racing this weekend ,,and those brolly dollys aint cheap !!!!

    You will need to respond promptly as there are clauses stating that you will lodge immediately and without delay. If they try to wriggle their out on this, you need to say "lawyer" to put them back in their place.

    The bump to end all bumps!


    Two weeks ago on my weekly browse through Trademe I came across a familiar looking bike. My bike! Who would have thought nine years later it was still in one piece and by the looks of it in pretty good condition.

    Within a few hours of seeing the listing I had found the persons Facebook page, their name, number and location. Then with constant hounding of the local police for two weeks the bike has finally been seized and will be back in my possession very soon.

    So anyone who has ever had a bike or any piece of personal property nicked and I know there is a lot of us on here. Don't give up looking and in the immortal words of Journey.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ


    The bike as it was and how it is now.

    That's really awesome you have found the bike.

    Now lets hope the Feds can backtrack who has had possession of it in the meantime.

    Flangmaster great news.
    Not good at all that you had to hound police for two weeks,that is crap.

    Was the person the original offender ?

    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Flangtastic news (see what I did there!)

    Just curious how you recognised it as your bike? Lots changed in appearances, to be expected by thieving scum. As a victim of bike theft I know how good it feels to eventually learn that karma lived up to it's name.

    Nah the guy selling it was only eighteen or so. It would've gone through a number of hands first I reckon but it's a starting point.

    It was the only KTM 250 EXCR set up like that in the country. The wheels belonged to a friend who was kind enough to have them fitted to my bike.

    Yeah it was. The police.govt.nz site under stolen vehicles still contained all the bikes info including rego, chassis and engine number. It was very handy.
