Stolen recovered.

Post by Skub »

A chap on the Z1000 facebook group just got his bike back after being stolen for the second time.

You'd need some heart to set about making this right again. :(

Oh dear me. That is rather dire. My Sprint RS was rather poorly after its recovery, but not as bad as that. Still managed to flog it in double quick time on Ebay (sold within 5 minutes of being listed).

It might have been a shitter before it was stolen?

I'd say that's a fair bet. Not many thieves bother to tape up a seat for a start.

Probably about 10 minutes before they saw how shite it was and returned it.

As an aside, my mate had an orange one as his long termer when he worked for PB.

I rode it a couple of times, it was awful.

I jumped off my sorted Blade and on to the Big Zed to do a stretch of the Route Napoleon. I gounded out on the first corner, parked it up at the next layby and demanded my keys back.

TWOC'y lads.

When I got one of my stolen bikes back it had been resprayed, reasonably well. The other had been utterly raped, worse than the OP.

That's the TWOC'y way.

I know Kwackers are prone to a bit of corrosion but that looks like its been stored in a puddle in a salt mine!
