That kinda stuff really doitches me off--I caught someone trying to steal my Honda once, and I'm glad they could run faster than me, 'cause I'd prolly just be getting out around now.

Thieves, child molesters, and animal abusers need to die. Slowly.

Well, at least with the insurance, it will be bittersweet, but bike shopping is always fun.

Sorry to hear about your ride. I would hate to live somewhere I had to worry about my ride being stolen. You can get another Harley, but the feeling of security is lost. I can say, use this experience to make you a better LEO. Remember all of the emotions you are feeling, when you world went to ****.
Everything that happens in our lives make us a better person. I do hope they catch the guys who took it, and I feel really bad for you.

Sorry to hear about that JY. Not right but at least you have insurance. I don't get attached to physical toys as such so to me I'd look at it as what am I gonna ride next.
Thieves need Middle Eastern punishment,you know cut their hands off.One thing they got right over there.

I realize that the bike was a "thing", an inatimate object. And that there are much more important things out there. But DAMN, this was the first "thing" that I felt really attached to and that's because of all the work I put into it and that I had a vision for it and brought it to fruition over a course of 4 years. And in one fell swoop, some scumbag POS took it from me.

Sorry to hear about your Train. I have had my bike in the shop for 2 weeks with a stupid warranty issue and I'm going threw withdrawal. Well hope you get your new Street Glide soon and I always admired your Train it was done up really nice. Cheers Rocker J

Thanks RockerJ

Spoke to my ins. co. this morn and I will be hearing from an adjuster today or tomorrow. Gotta dig out some receipts! I hope they do me right.

My next bike will be a Denim Black FLHX Street Glide. It will have V&H Big Shot Duals (Black) and a Stage 1 upgrade when it rolls out of the dealer.

And oh yeah- LoJack and a VERY loud motion-activated alarm.
