Auck - stolen bike (8 Nov 2009)

[Hiflyer]

Yup, another stolen bike thread.

It was parked directly under a streetlight on Orakei Rd in Remuera, I arrived at about 7.30pm tonight to see my partner, walked out at 9.50pm and thought shit, where'd I park??? Stood there looking like a complete tosser not knowing which way was up.

Bike was in 1st, as it was on a hill, steering lock most likely on as I usually never forget to use it. It is the bike in my profile pic.

I checked the surrounding area, asked the neighbour if they heard a bike start up and all that but with no luck.

Yea it looks like just another Hyo but if you manage to get a look at the exhaust, look out for a carbon fibre shorty can. And the noise limiter is removed so is quite loud and noticeable.

Please keep an eye out for it, police report has been lodged so if you suspect anything give em a yell

P.S I have insurance and all that which I'm gr8full for but it's my primary form of transport so I'm rather gutted/f'd off/etc etc

Sorry I had to report it....

Dude that sucks ass, it's a good looking bike. I'll keep an eye out for sure.

Sorry to hear your really bad news.

Clearly your girlfriend was so entertaining that you didn't hear the bike start either.

If you parking your bike there is a regular occurance then....................

This sort of thing really amazes me - why don't they just go buy their own bike. Sorry for your loss - and the inconvenience it causes you as you said, its your only form of transport. Hope you get it back mate

I hope your bike is recovered quick smart and you have every right to be pissed!

Orakei Rd, that's just a little down from where I live.

Perhaps, post up a plate number?

By the looks of your profile pic, the 2 distinctive features being the RK sticker by the swingarm and a stubby pipe.

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

It's almost worth entrapping some of these arseholes.

Shiny bike on public street at night, armoured bikers waiting in the bushes, just waiting.....

I would watch that reality TV show.

Na the guy whose house it was parked outside said he heard me turn up but didn't hear it leave, and it had the steering lock on :S

Up by Rangitoto Avenue, Remuera Rd end, maybe 400m down Orakei Rd.

Will be lodging a claim today through Swann, lets hope for the best,

Probably cos theres so many of them around they think they can blend in. Cops were very helpful too,

If i dont get it back It'll be fun to go shopping again!

Yeah, seen some pommy cop programmes where they do that, usually with a car, they try to nick the stereo, but the cops/tv crew are watching from a van not far away. Others are fitted out with cameras, and you see them hotwire it & drive off, but it's been set up with a remote engine cut out. All good fun.

Anyway, sorry your bike is gone. There are lots of greedy lazy assholes who think they deserve to have something nice like someone elses bike.
Hope your insurance comes to the party.

How good is a bike's ignition? Is it like a car where you can jam a screwdriver in it and you're away? I'd use my alarmed Xena Disc Lock more often if it didn't randomly go off all the time
