Great to hear![]()
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
I've got a list of names and addresses taped to my desk for the day my anti-psychotics don't work.
Robbed four times in eight weeks; gave the police names, addresses, witnesses, and pictures and the police ring me six months later to say they have no leads.
Yep, I'm going to have a lot of fun the day those antipsychotics wear off.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
Fabulous news.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Alas, setting traps is illegal. I used to put an open container of black powder in my gun safe if I was away. They want to cut that open, good luck!
Police inspector told me that was against the law. I told him there was an explosives sticker on the lid. "That should do it."

Hi Guys,
I feel sickMy poor baby has been butchered. Sigh,... I have the full fairings but they weren't kind when removing them so they are snapped in several places, mounts broken when they couldnt undo the screws etc. Doubt they will be repairable even though the breaks are clean and the paint is in tact.
Other than that so far from the pics, it looks like a new yoke, new barrel, not sure if the ECU is still there so might need that too,.. I cant tell from the pics? Gonna need someone with a fair bit of electrical knowledge looking at this I think,.. it looks pretty mullered in that department and I dont know that much about it.
So apparently from the tip off I got from here,.. you know who you are,.. the police managed to find and recover the bike and parts. Unfortionately it doesnt look like the theif will be caught as they removed finger prints from the bike. I could name and shame the suspect though, feelin very uncomfortable though![]()
I'll be picking up the bike in the next few days, just gotta rent a van or something. sigh,..

You are taking that to a Honda shop aren't you? Best to start with an expert assessment of what needs doing.
When My Ducati got bowled over in a car park initial appearances suggested only minor damage. $5,000 later...
And sorry, that's not such a happy ending.
Oooops! Just checked to see if you're insured.

Was it a KB member suspected of stealing it?
"Some people are like clouds, once they fuck off, it's a great day!"
Aw crap... Thats not pretty... Feel for you...
Murupara. Tokoroa. Mangakino. Ti Kuiti. Northland. South/West Aucks. Wanganui...
Badluck with the bike chap. Can't be a smart theif to break off the plastics. OEM shit is worth the most money when resold.
Looks like a write off if you ask me. Maybe buy teh wreck and spend a few years restoring it back to what it once was
I dunno what to do to be hoenst,.. its gonna cost me $160 odd to pick it up. obviously the bikes worth more than that but I dunno what to do. cut my losses and sell as scrap to a wreckers or bother trying to repair it. apart from the wiring looms being butchered, and a new ignition unit\yoke i cant see much else that could be wrong with it? The plastics I can replace,.. I have a couple of sets that I can use for now.
Does everyone think this is a personal write off?
Basically a guy from Kiwibikers tipped me to where it was,.. thats all I know.. The police did the rest. It was stolen from Morning Star Place, St Lukes, Auckland
Holy crap what was the point of stealing it when you're too dumb to even remove fairings...
At least you've got something back, but man, they really did a number on it.
Also name and shame I say, only because no police action will come of it (although how can they have possession of it and not be charged with theft is a bit farked up). Kinda like a public service to warn people whom their associating with since removing hands and fingers is frowned upon these days. Does the person who gave you the info mind if you do make it public?
