Thank

 

did you check to see if he was motorcycle endorsed on the TDL? bet that
wasn't his real name and the old Class M endorsement check helps on that
name thing. No class M verification, no ridee the bikee.

how did he get to your place from hooterville? walking, or some buddy
bring him in a car? then buddy splits to go look for his pal to "make
sure he's ok." gosh, what a nice consciencious friend to have like
that.

sorry to hear it, but you're likely screwed. :7

we just had a discussion about test rides too. many don't allow it at
all and others require major collateral left while the bike is out;
still others say you got 30 minutes to bring it back unchanged after
you've paid for it. if all that sounds tuff and unfriendly, well now
you know. i'm guessing you had the bike advertised for sale and that's
an expensive lesson. there's lots of crooks out there.

sorry dood, hate to hear it happen to anyone. hope you find it, hope
your insurance was up to date.

Did you loan him a helmet as to not attract attention from the police?

123,123,123,123 foooouuuuuurrrrrrr

Real good example of why the "test ride" crap is not practiced.. These are
not used cars we are talking about.. Hell .. you can have a motorcycle in
the back of a pickup or trailer in three minutes or less and be across the
state within a few short hours.. I don't like to hear about anyone having
anything stolen.. Isn't it a co-incident that we discussed this very thing
about "test rides" just a few days ago, and I got some flak, not much, from
some of the posters over my position.. What goes around, comes around..
Only one of the reasons why I don't LOAN out or allow anyone to test ride my
motorcycle other than an occasional or special circumstance..

Bill you are correct
Motorcycles are such an easy item to dispose of. they can be painted in about
30 to 45 minutes with a can of autozone spray car paint and primer and let
sit for about 1 hour( I have done this with a Rat Bike of my own then desided
the factory knew what they were doing after all) The paint job looks bad but
it can be taken off with no problem if you dont remove the old paint and clear
coat.They bike can be taken anywhere and parted out since the vin is only on a
couple of places.
hell I could put all the parts on ebay that dont have a vin number and almost
come up with the money for a new bike.
If you do this two or three time you could almost buy a new harley

Now.. now.. With the money in my pocket to buy a Harley, I'd have the
sharpest Vulcan in the state.. with plenty of bucks left over to make a long
run and invite all my ol'wooly friends.. LOL.. I've never had the misfortune
to have a bike stolen.. Been in some real snaky ol' places, especially
across the border.. Somehow, I feel safer down there than I do in Dallas or
Austin and especially Houston.. Maybe it is what I ride that discourages the
thieves... (chuckle).. Could be the places I go, also.. I don't usually
frequent the kind of places where I feel threatened.. Back in the younger
days, it was necessary for me to fight my way out of quite a few of those
joints.. Us ole folks gotta be a bit more cautious.. Some of my very good
friends have gotten angry because I wouldn't turn them loose on my
motorcycles.. Oh well.. so much for that.. huh.. Aside from the liability,
you hit it on the head about how easy it is to take a bike down and move the
parts.. or redo it enough to get the money and run.. Take care IceMan,
regards to you and the missus..

Man ain't that the truth. A buddy of mine at work had his first bike, a
GSXR 750 stolen in front of Legacy Movie Theater in Plano. He went
out of town and left it in the hands of another trust worthy rider and told
him he could ride it. (Was probably a fun change from his SV650.;-)
The guy watching the bike went with another guy riding a K1200, series
BMW and they took the GSXR! The dumb girl in the ticket window
didn't see anything!?!? Probably got thrown in the back of a truck
or some one had a master key or something. The police told him the
bike is most likely unrecoverable.

I think it is pretty much an exercise in futility for law enforcement to put
too much effort in recovering a motorcycle.. Seems to be pretty much an
accident when they do recover.. Not too many solutions to the problem other
than to be personally responsible and take precautions as much as you can..
Too bad, huh ??
