RG150 stolen (Auckland, 27 February)

[2Cycle]

OK, so I have found out who was in the van and it seems they have an alibi so far.

So all that leaves me with is some guy who comes in to the garage and seven minutes later rides away on my bike.

Extra gutting as I only had third party insurance and had just spent a fair bit of cash on it for new tires, chain, sprockets, fork seals. Yep she is a beauty about 37K's, run on synthetic since run in and always garaged.

I'll see if I can get a pic.

There is hope for you yet, mate. I reckon that the bike will be spotted sooner or later by someone from KB. If the unthinkable happens and parts show up on tardme, everyone will also notice.

[davereid]

It may not turn up this far south, but I'll keep an eye out for it. I keep a list of stolen bikes here in the shop, (any I'm told about) and I keep a good eye out when I'm riding too.

[Macktheknife]

Hope you get your bike back in 1 piece mate, if you can post a piccie of the offender leaving it might help.
Some of the great KB folks have got access to good imaging technology and may be able to enhance it a bit.
I presune the coppers have been informed?
Good luck

Uh, you *have* involved the police in this haven't you?

[2Cycle]

Yes the police are involved but I am a little impatient. As my bike may be in many pieces by now. I only found out who was in the van by chance, I saw another van from the same company out there this morning.

Then that company wont be too impressed with hiring a thief......
or one of their employers lending out the work vehicle to a thief......

So they (the company managers/owners) be able to help to track down the driver/thief.

[Calo]

My condolences. The loss of a loved one is never easy.

I got the guy's phone number and talked to him, he seems to have a legitimate reason for being there and it was just coincidence that he was at the garage the same time as the thief, he said he didn't notice the bikes in the garage. The van drove away shortly before the bike so maybe the thief hid when this van guy turned up and waited for him to leave.

[Meanie]

Check with your insurance co the last time i insured for 3rd party it also covered fire and theft
You never know

Cool, But I would still be doublechecking with the company to make sure he was really meant to be there.

You are taking his word for it.


Good luck in finding your baby....... I too will also keep an eye out for it.
If it ever turns up, do let us all know.... cheers.


Oh 3rd party should cover you for fire and theft.

[-df-]

Oh 3rd party should cover you for fire and theft.

Depends who you are with, had 3rd party with my ZX7R and it didn't cover getting stolen (they wouldn't unless it was full cover).

Sorry about your loss dude, fingers crossed it comes back!!

[90s]

Dude, I would have been totally gutted if someone had nicked my RG.
Being ex-RG myself I spot them everywhere - 5 park around the city centre. I have never seen one in your colour scheme before (they are all purple/black or red/white) and will have an inspection of any I see that are. Hopefully because its rare it'll turn up soon.
I traverse Auckland everyday twice so will keep 'em peeled.

[skidMark]

Help.

Some MOFO stole my beloved RG from my work carpark in Eden Tce Auckland today, the 27th of feb 07 Don't know why they wanted it so bad, I park it next to an R1!. WTF!

It is black and silver, all original paintwork apart from a couple of sbs brake stickers reg plate 67TYA.

It's not just some old bike to me. I have owned it from new, it was the first new thing bought after paying off my student loan and getting my first proper job. Been riding it to work for almost nine years and had heaps of fun trips on it. I have looked after it well over the years and some low life piece of sh#t has taken it.

Whoever took it will burn in hell

i will keep my eyes peeled

if i find them i will rip off thier head and shit down thier throat, oh and give you your bike back

bastards aye best of luck to you mate but in all honesty don't get your hopes up chances are pretty slim, it sucks when something your attached to gets nicked especially when youve owned it 9 years since new, you have insurance?

I would also look at any "matte black" etc. painted bikes. Also dude, it might help your cause, if you posted engine and frame numbers. I'm coming up to Auckland tomorrow, so I'll keep my eyes peeled as well.
