Woke up this morning to find the bike stolen. It was stolen off Philippi between cassia and overland between the time of 6:45 and 9 am. The license plate is mtb 114 and it has shinko stickers on the frame as well as dyno jet stickers on the rear panels. If anyone spots it, please call me and bpd. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Please tell me it was insured.

Damn... whats up with the bike thefts?

Pimpit

It's that time of year

ckholloway

Dayum!!!! Hate to hear that. I will watch in Ontario for ya.

iHateITBS

Only liability but ya it is.

iHateITBS

Thank you.

theduckllr

I was refering to insured for LOSS. In which case: No, its not. Sorry to hear that. At least you won't have to worry about that pesky clutch adjustment now.....

You need Comprehensive for theft.

cms1172

even if you don't have collision, in my opinion, get comprehensive.
That way if the bike is stolen, at least you have money to buy another.

Even bigger question, why an early ninety's FZR? there are hardly any around anymore.

theduckllr

Because you can trade it for a couple of hits worth of meth.. duh.

scooterholic

Sorry to hear this, if I see it I will let you know.

Coyotte78

Wow sorry to hear that man. I'm trying to figure out who would be desperate enough to steal an FZR. I'll keep my eyes open.

Mikey

I know you were trying to sell it Evan, any chance you kept the numbers of everyone who came to look at it?? If there was someone who seemed interested but wouldn't commit to buying it then they may have been scouting it out to see if it could be stolen. Just my opinion but I'd be giving the cops any phone numbers and names you have.

This is exactly why I never let anybody come to my house to look at any of my bikes for sale.

I hope you find your bike man, sorry to hear that.

iHateITBS

funny thing is no one has called to look at it yet

s1vak

I've had my house broken into twice, so I know how bad it sucks to get robbed. Cops didn't lift a finger to try to catch them. They wouldn't even take finger prints after I asked them to. You might get lucky if you keep an eye out on CL (or a site like adhuntr that searches all CL).

Too much Sean kinda brutal....Still laughing


I'd watch out tomorrow all us riders that like Japanese naked/standard bikes might come over and take a crap at your works front door step.

Coyotte78

Didn't mean any disrespect I guess I was just shocked to hear of that bike stolen. FZR's are good bikes just didn't think of them as a popular target for thieves. Alan a 95 FZR is not a standard or naked its an old school sport bike. You must be thinking of an FZ6R.

alanj490

My bad Sean the late night get together at cycle gear has been called off

BuellCru

You're an EFFING genius. I'd also like to ask what anyone thinks I could get for a stolen Buell? Thinking about leaving mine outside the garage. Oh, 2007 XB 12R Firebolt any takers.....literally?

dudes this sucks,
my 2006 ninja 250 was stolen on the 23rd off of orchard. The worst part is two days later on Saturday morning I personally found just the frame on the side of the road. Every single bolt was gone! I found just the frame one block from where it was stolen on the sidewalk. Kinda disheartening since all the police would have had to do is patrol the neighborhood to find the frame. I didn't have the chance to look for it until Saturday and I found it in literally 1 minute of looking. I hope the police catch these guys because right now I feel like they have blown me off! I let someone borrow it because their truck broke down so my homeowners insurance won't cover it and I had no other type of insurance on it. I still owe money on it too
It was all black, muzzy full exhaust systems, brand new bridgestone battleax tires(which the shop will tell you won't fit on this bike), the windshield was cracked on the lower right side, the front wrap around faring was also cracked on the upper right side, the exhaust had also melted the bottom of the main fairing. if you see any of these parts be suspicious and give me a call or text. 208-794-5907. Lock up your bikes guys looks like some pros are stealing bikes if they strip em this fast(less than 24 hours).

Coyotte78

Seems like the theives live in the orchard, overland area. I suggest caution in that area of town till these idiots are apprehended.

ConradM

Pretty much that whole area from Curtis down to Vista is a shithole. Well, there are pockets of shitholes all throughout.

Pimpit

Anyone up for getting ahold of shaner for a tracking device or 2 to be donated for a couple bait bikes?

alanj490

Good idea but I wouldn't make that public obviously the thieves could be surfing brn

ckholloway

True and all though a good idea I can see anyone offering they're bike as bait. The police have bikes in impound that are set to go to auction I'm sure. If they wanted to bait the criminal/s they would do it.

Pimpit

A. Just a theory.
B. Like stated above, who would wanna risk their bike
C. If I did pony up a bike, I hope the cops get there quicker than I do. Dood thing my bike is insured for more than it's worth.

cms1172

kryptonite cables for when you drive around and lock inside a garage or shed at night.
Which is what I do. And I park at work in front of the window that I sit at.
I am totally paranoid.

Mikey

I just carry full coverage insurance, so if someone needs it more than me then I get a new bike!!

Live2Ride

Ok so I don't know if this has been said but why not talk to the police about a sting setup on a well-insured, low jacked and staked out bike. It might be something worth looking into. Even if the cops had a bike they confiscated they could use. It's worth a try. This is the 3rd one this month.

theduckllr

I agree. I wrecked a bike the first time I used a disc lock, no chance of using that again. Lojack is really helpful at telling you where to find the carcass of your ride, although with a greater chance of catching the pukes who stole it. At the end of the day, insured is peace of mind worth paying for.

iHateITBS

yeah well when your a broke ass college student, can't always afford anything past liability. I don't know how much comprehensive coverage costs for you guys though so who knows.

theduckllr

I hear you man. Been there, done the starving college student routine. Look at the bright side, barring any lotto win, you will soon get to work for 47 years before retirement!

iHateITBS

woohoo! wait.....DOH!!!! It just irritates me that this happened when i was trying to sell it so i could get my son back here from Missouri since i haven't seen him since he was born...

redi2ride

MAybe we should do a bait and hook sting and give him one of these!

So i got word that my bike was seen in the Nampa/Caldwell area this morning by a friend. They did call the cops, but no luck yet. I guess whoever was riding it was wearing a blue jacket. Like that narrows it down....NOT! But at least its a start. My GUESS is they had another ignition put in, had a key made, or just hotwired it. Who knows. But if anyone in that area could keep an eye out i would appreciate it!

Waldo

Sorry bro but I would not know your bike even if it was sitting next to me at a gas station. Might want to post a couple pictures.
