Re: Cycle whore thread
no not while i was in.. i forgot to put my oil cap back on after adding some oil.. went for a ride last night got oil everywhere and parked it up front at the gas station. talked to the manager and made sure i could leave it there until a shop opened so i could get another filler cap. checked in on my bike at like 1pm and looked it over and everything, went to get the cap and some lunch and by the time i got back it was gone..
went in asked if they had it towed, and they tell me no, and that i just missed my "buddy" that came and picked it up 10 mins ago. apparently a guy in a small boxtruck (sketchy?!?!) showed up, said he was picking the bike up for me and even got one of the employees to help pick it up and lay it inside the box truck. all without a key and the steering locked.
they got the guy on video in the store talking to the cashier, and they got a side view video of the box truck so no tags.

ps... this is why I will NEVER leave my bike anywhere... I dont care if I have to push it home... it is coming home with me... period.
I had somebody hit my bike at the beach front and drive off. I pushed that bike 13 miles to my house. I had no throttle. after about 6 miles... I decided to start the bike and let it idle home in first gear. It took me from 12 pm till almost 3am to get it home... but it was home and safe with me.

Re: Cycle whore thread
well this was a crazy day.. i found my bike in the back of a parking lot right next to where it was stolen. nothing missing, and only some slight damage to it. and the WTF part is i went back to the gas station, and they said the thief showed back up saying he was trying to get ahold of me, and that he tried to take me bike to "my dads" house but got yelled at. then they told him that the cops were called so i guess he paniced and just just unloaded the bike across the street? i dunno, its weird as hell. i had never seen the guy in the security video before, only my roomate knew where the bike was, and just incase i called my dad and no one came by his house all day. the cashier did say the guy seemed like he was on drugs though.
