    Theft at Motorcycle Manufacturers Warehouse

    I found an interesting story on a library news link.

    Apparently theives broke into seperate facilities in Japan, one in Shizuoka and one in Yamashina. The authorities in the different areas didn't connect the two crimes for some weeks but discovered that the theives, between the two facilities, had stolen almost exactly the correct components to assemble a complete motorcycle. The crime was highly organised and the authorities concluded that it was instigated by a mob boss who was attempting to obtain a high cc production motorcycle for which he couldn't get a licence for in Japans highly regulated society.

    The commercial (retail) value of the parts stolen was approximately US$168,000.

    Going by the price of manufacturer spare parts it's bound to be a CG125
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
