RE: Stolen?

I won't give anyone the chance to prove they are a thief. I always lock the bike and bags and set the alarm, no matter how soon I intend to return.

RE: Stolen?

It's totally dependent on where I'm at / how far from home / etc., etc., but I'm not above locking the bags (and occasionally the forks) when I'm not going to be in sight for a while. Can't recall anything in particular getting ripped off... Only really ever worry about the "punk kids" for the most part.

RE: Stolen?

Never had anything stolen. I don't leave my kit on the bike when I leave it. It just temps the little fluckers who think they like it better than I do. I bought it for me, not for some punkass kid.

After having the Fatboy stolen. Everything gets locked everytime. I don't care if its for 2 minutes to go into store. Ignition, Forks, Alarm, Bags, it all gets locked.

RE: Stolen?

Some Clown stole a pair of leather gloves off my seat a few years back. I had the bike parked in my driveway right next to student housing at EIU University. My fault. The poor drunk college student should not have been put under that kinda stress.

I had a friend get his starter stolen at a race back in the early 80's. We came out of the race, put the keys in our bikes and his didn't do anything. It was easy to remove a starter from a shovel and some poor guy needed one. What was he to do on a Sunday afternoon.

I've been lucky though. I've left crap unlocked or laying on my bike many times and I don't thing a pair of gloves in over 30 years is a big deal.
