Apparently there's a missing Desmo out there somewhere, could you hide one away and not pull it out for a fang?

A while back he also stole a RC45 and painted it black. That bike was found in his lounge when they also found the painting he stole from Auckland gallery/museum.

Stealing is bad and I totally would stick a screwdriver to bike theif's eye sockets but this guy... I'm kinda impressed. Just sayin he's no regular.

The owner would've insured the bike for $250,000 anyways

I'm sure after riding it for a couple of weeks, he was glad to have the $130k instead.

Is that the bloke that took it for a test ride with the owner following & just accelerated away never to be seen again?

If I recall correctly that was from A Honda dealer in Timaru or Ashburton.

The RC45 was taken from dealership in Hamilton on a test ride, painted black & had a hole cut in the frame; shop cliamed insurance got paid out, bike was found a year or so later. Insurance company sold bike, brought by BP at Honda Country in Ashvagas....new plastics & frame sourced now sits in the shop keeping the NR750 company or it maybe the one he sold to purchase the NR? He had two of them to choose from

choices aye
