Man, sorry to hear about your bike. I hope they catch em. And you get a better bike than the one you had.

While indeed they are scum, I would say the worst sort of scum are the child killers and molesters out there. Then bike theives.

I think a lot of them get parted out and wind up all over e-bay, certain stores etc etc etc. Can't trust anyone these days.

I am truly sorry to hear that Psycluded . That is a horrible violation to experience . I know that the first moments of denial is like being in a really bad dream .
Have had our home burglarized as well as a company truck stolen . Both of those events happened some years ago but ya never forget just what that felt like .
With deepest sympathies , Wizzard

Hm. Found a guy in FL who is selling an '04 YZFR6, Silver, for $3000...
It's -very- likely stolen. The guy actually answered the email I sent him, so we'll see if he gives me the VIN # like I asked him to. If if comes back clean, I'm back in the saddle this weekend. I can get twice that for an 04 from the bank, and without any fuss over the loan from Honda being paid off. Means if there -is- anything wrong with it (the guy swears up and down there isn't), I can fix it without any undue hardship, plus do a little custom work on it, all for less than the what the purchase price -should- be.
Might be going to Florida this weekend to see a man about a bike... No way I'd buy that thing without seeing, starting and riding it, and then I'm just going to load it onto a U-Haul and cart it home.

Yeah, that really sucks about your bike.... but on the brighter side... the new raven R1 and R6 are insanely hot.

My heart goes out to you Psycluded, you must be well gutted mate, I would certainly be in mourning if it was our bike. What thieves dont seem to understand is that they are taking a whole lifestyle away from you. And if I knew any bike thieves I would have no hesitation in turning them in, as been said before scumbags are people who nick bikes.

Aye, the R6 I was looking at in FL seems to be stolen, so I reported that to the police there. Hopefully they'll nail him.
I'm actually looking at an 05 Raven R6 at the moment. We'll see.

I hope things work out for you mate and you get the bike you want, and they catch the scum who stole your bike!
