I know exactly how you and he must be feeling, with a bit of luck you'll get the bike back and the police will catch the fucker/fuckers who took it.
Got a pic of the bike to post up ?

Hey thanks everyone!

Yeah JATZ,you & your boy have" been there done that"

Its gutting,Sam is devasted,I dont hold out much hope of seeing the bike again

No pics sorry!didnt get a chance to take any!
I trailered the bike home from Alex Thursday,got into CHCH 7pm & swung past Sams flat,he had it unloaded,was geared up & off in an instant!!
He had that ride & on Friday rode it only a couple of ks

Stayed in his garage from Friday avo till discovered it gone Sunday morning
I raced at Ruapuna Sunday,he was going to ride out & watch the racing & get some kickstarting tips.
I was going to suggest taking it home so we could give it a good clean & going over(as you do with a new bike!

)
Not to be....

Crap! What a bloody low act to have happen to your lad, Helen.
Could you put up a pic of a similar bike to give the folk over there an idea of what it looks like.
Is there a registry for posting engine/frame numbers of stolen bikes?

**cynna** · 29th March 2010, 08:13

got the engine number from one of the posts above but have u got the frame number since its easier to see. ive never seen another xr650r when i been out and about locally so it would be handy to have just in case....

Its similar looking to this one but with a different sticker kit and the plastic shield above the light is white

Thats sucks arse.....

Will keep an eye out for sure

**JMemonic** · 29th March 2010, 10:21

Will keep an eye out, one would either think the party crashers or a neighbour, simply due to the fact its only been there a day or so.

**SDU** · 29th March 2010, 14:45

The Fooken ankers!!!!! people like that piss me off

shit Sam you didn't even get to enjoy it. Hope you had a chance to get it covered with insurance.
Will keep an eye out for it especiallywhen out at the Waimak R.

You don't see too many XR650's around these days as they were'nt made for a long time. Can't say the last time I saw one but I'm sure it'll poke out like the pigs balls .......as before, my eye's are peeled, sounds like white scum are the felons in this case....feral felons
