I just got sick looking at those pics.&nbsp\\; I don't want to see bikes on there side in a parking space ever.&nbsp\\; If I found my bike like that I would go insane.


I agree these punks may come back for more so set them up with a camera or something.&nbsp\\; This way they can be put away.

That's just wrong. I fear the same thing every day when I leave mine parked in the lot at work. The only time I actually feel safe is when I can see her myself, or when she is parked in the garage at home. I agree though, most likely local teenagers and friends, and they will probably be back to at least scope out the chaos they have created, or attempted to. Keep your eyes peeled, and your head high, nice wheels.

Default RE: Vandalism!

is it still rideable?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Hell yes it is! Put 250 miles on it right after I picked it up! The liquid you see is fuel spillage. I rode it about 50 miles keeping close eye on the fuel light HOPING it didn't go&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;on before filling up! I got just a little over 50 mpg average for the day. Filled up three times...once at the start point, again at around mid-point into the ride, and again after I got home. Yeah it sucks but the damage is mostly cosmetic.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; My main&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;frustration is that I had JUST&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;put the bags on, and these&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;are several hundred dollar bags. New without the hardware is $700! I didn't pay that much for them but I still laid out some coin for them. They WERE in great shape except for a crack in the plastic ring&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;around the lock on the right side. I put some JB weld on it to seal it up and was going to hit it with a touch of black paint. The bags are the most&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;expense damaged.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;I'm going to see what insurance will do...I have a claim number but couldn't discuss the exact nature of the damage until I had to go to work.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;I had an agent call me&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;today about it, but I didn't get home till 11 tonight.&nbsp\\;And yes, I rode today!&nbsp\\;Thanks for everyone's support! Well everyone but Fat_06! I'm gonna have ride up there and talk to you!
