STOLEN BLUE RGV 250N MANUKAU

[Bren_chch]

thats shitty!! hate hearing of things like this! when i was living in Bristol (UK) this was something common i heard but it didnt really matter how locked up ya bike was, if someone wanted it they would simple get a few guys and chuck it in the back of a van.... wankers! maybe thats what happened to yours?

[froggyfrenchman]

I know how you feel mate. Had TWO bikes stolen from my driveway a few months ago. We did get them back (albit smashed and crashed) Through a combination of people we know seeing them and relaying the info to the police.

So it is possible, best of luck finding your wheels.

thanks guys, it was locked to ladders with one of the thin coiled push bike locks (stupid me), im getting a fat chucky chain for my old (only) bike now, im also looking at making an alarm which has a few added features like some metal plates on the grips hooked up to a small shocker so when activated shocks em and a few hidden surprises, legally done of course

im pretty sure they chucked it in a van, white tinted windows dogey, was seen hanging round before, also it needed to warm up (2-3mins) before riding other wise it just died. lock was poped, i found the parts on the ground

a few people have mentioned that some nice fast sports bikes have been seen around otara, and at the night drags, hopfully its not a trend, so get insurance and the fatest lock u can get

i only had it for 7 days this was the first time i parked it up! makes me wonder, did they follow me?

heres another pic, main part is that fact its got no blade and the rear brake pedal is bent

thanks guys awsome respones keeps me that little bit sain knowing theres people on the look out

cheers

hope you catch these fuckers and give them some deep heat and broomstick treatment....

ill keep a eye out myself

[oldrider]

Smells to me that the bike was targeted and probably all the way back to Trade Me. Maybe you was just set up!!
Sorry to hear of your plight. I hate thieves and liers. Sympathy Mate. John.

Sorry to hear of your loss, I've just bought a bike, had it a week now and am a little nervoise about leaving it outside work, don't know where else to put it.

Going to see if i can organise an alarm on it.

I'll keep my eyes peeled

[Macktheknife]

Bummer dude, I will keep eyes open for it. Might pay to watch on TM too, wouldnt be the first time.

[aff-man]

Will keep an eye out....... Any recomendation if we do see the bike?? I go to MIT most days (well not now due to holidays) but i am out that area now and again so if i spot it i'll give you a yell

[eager]

call the cops, rip it apart as much as possible so they cant take of, rip out the fuel line, tap maybe, or even put your lock on it till cops show, or else get a baseball bat handy

So in this order....

Kevlar kuckel to the back of the head
Call cops
"oops sorry oficer i didn't see him there........ but i think this bike is stolen"

Soarry i'f i'm being dumb but you got the chassis/engine numbers?? Or the plate number (you never know they might leav it on).

Also scan tardme there are some new rgv listings

[eager]

vin and plate is in the first post
ive got a heap of rgv L and M model parts left over that are too painful to look at, PM me i you need any
cheers

[Squiggles]

bugger, that sucks man! i was watching that auction too....
i dunno what you can do, but maybe ring round local wreckers and stuff to let them know in case someone tries to bring in a rgv for scrapping?

very bad luck, i'm always worried that someone's going to tryto nick off with mine, park it right infront of the security camera's at work etc

[eager]

update, possible sighting in flatbush, may have been quickly sprayed with black spray paint, as the person who sore it said they could still see that it was blue but with a rugged paint job,

i rung up the cops, they remembered me with my um...the "unique" story that had been talked about among the station. she said it hasn’t been reported stolen yet!! i have to ring up the manukau station on Monday when they open again!!!

is this normal? stolen 3-4 days ago but not on the system?

a friend who had there cage stolen had a similar incident, there car had been stolen, she reported it, 2 weeks later she rings up to see what’s happening, turned out it hadn’t been loaded as stolen, and to top it off it had been stopped twice in that time and was later that day discovered it had been towed and was sitting in a car yard!!

now is this acceptable? we pay our speeding fines and they cant load things as stolen??

im not very impressed with this

[Mattyc]

well mate put it this way, the nz police computer system (or the ppl entering the info) is such a peice of shit, that i have had diversion 3 times and section 19 discharge without conviction twice.

also when i lost my license for racing a cop to about 165, when i got it back i was still on forbidden to drive in the police computer, every time i got pulled over for about 3 years after they gave me shit, caused me hassles.

the people who stole your bike have prolly swapped it for tinnies and its prolly at a tinnie house in flatbush / otara, and the tinnie house guys take it out for blats, if you spend the day driving around the back of otara/flatbush and you may just find it??
